Shoppers are going wild for ‘absolutely beautiful’ new treat based on iconic 90s childhood dessert
SHOPPERS are taking a trip back to their childhood after spotting a delicious sweet treat based on an iconic 90s dessert on supermarket shelves.
Morrisons has started selling Angel Delight ice cream tubs, in two classic flavours, strawberry and butterscotch.
The soft-serve style ice cream is inspired by the nostalgic airy texture of the original 1967 dessert which captured the hearts of many.
The delightful tubs hold 800 ml of ice cream and it’s advised you wait a few minutes before pulling out the freezer for the best flavour.
One surprised customer rushed to Facebook to let others know the new desserts were on supermarket shelves.
In the Extreme Couponing And Bargains UK group, she said: “New at Morrison.”
Morrison’s is selling the Angle Delight soft serve ice cream for £3.50 in some stores.
However, shoppers noted some Morrison branches specifically one in Hendon were selling the dessert for a little cheaper at £3.
The shoppers’ post quickly racked up over 50 impressions. Many shoppers said they were scouring their local stores for a chance to grab the dessert.
One user said: “Absolutely beautiful but £3 in Heron and they have the strawberry too.”
Another said: “Butterscotch though.”
However several Facebook users were not impressed with the price stating it may be cheaper to buy the Angle Delight dessert and make your own ice cream.
One user said: “At £3.50 can stay there.”
“Cheaper to get a packet and make your own,” claimed another.
Other supermarkets are selling the ice cream for similar prices, Asda is following Morrisons’ lead putting the price at £3.50
Iceland who launched the flavoured ice creams have kept the price of the 800ml tub at £3.00.
You can still get packets of the iconic 90’s childhood dessert in Sainsbury’s for as little as 75p with a nectar card.
