Quality Street has announced the launch of a new choc on the block, Quality Street Collisions Hazelnut and Caramel chocolate sharing bar, combining the golden gooiness of caramel and the indulgent creaminess of hazelnut.
This stellar collaboration is set to shake up the sharing bar experience like never before by bringing together two flavourful fan favourites – The Green Triangle and the Purple One.
The Quality Street Collisions sharing bar boasts three layers of textured deliciousness. Each bite offers indulgent caramel, a smooth hazelnut filling, and delightfully crunchy hazelnut pieces.
“We’re sure that Quality Street fans will love the fact that two favourites have been brought together to make a triple-layered treat that’s perfect for gifting or sharing with family and friends,” Samantha Hirst, brand manager for Quality Street at Nestlé UK and Ireland, said.
Quality Street Collisions sharing bar is now available exclusively in Asda and will roll out to supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide later this month.
The 235g Quality Street Collisions sharing bar is the first flavour collision and the third addition to the Quality Street sharing bar range.
The Quality Street sharing bars were first introduced in 2022, with the Purple One and the Orange Crunch being the first two classics to break out of the purple tin. These sharing bars come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and flavours to enhance those sharing moments with your loved ones.
TRIP, the UK’s fastest-growing soft drinks brand for the past two years, is excited to announce the launch of its new Magnesium Gummies.
After taking the market by storm with its award-winning range of functional Mindful Blend drinks, which were its most successful launches ever on Amazon, TRIP is continuing its mission to help people find calm and enjoy the benefits of magnesium in a new and convenient way. The gummies are available for purchase on the TRIP website for £19.60 and soon on Amazon, with plans for wider retail distribution in the coming months.
Boasting a remarkable +389 per cent CAGR over the past two financial years, the brand continues to disrupt the wellness space with innovative products that meet the needs of the modern consumer. In line with TRIP's commitment to quality and taste, these gummies are vegan-friendly, contain no added sugar, and deliver a delicious, juicy Wild Berry flavour experience worthy of their Great Taste award-winning heritage.
Magnesium is fast becoming one of the most talked-about wellness ingredients, with over 1 billion views of the #magnesium tag on Tiktok3 as people seek natural ways to manage fatigue and improve their overall well-being. This surge in popularity is partly fueled by recent trends like the “sleepy girl mocktail,” which combines magnesium and tart cherry juice as a pre-bedtime ritual, and wider recognition of its numerous health benefits, including:
Supporting the normal functioning of the nervous system
Promoting normal energy-yielding metabolism
Helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue
TRIP's Magnesium Gummies are designed to seamlessly integrate into consumers' daily wellness routines, whether as a standalone supplement or in combination with the brand's popular Mindful Blend drinks.
Olivia Ferdi, TRIP Founder, says, “I launched TRIP to help people find their calm in the everyday chaos - with a focus on authentically functional and uniquely delicious products that people love. Building on our mission & Following the overwhelming success of our Mindful Blend drinks, we recognised a growing demand from our community asking us for ways to incorporate new and powerful ingredients into their daily routines.
"We pride ourselves on innovation and expertise crafting the highest quality functional ingredients into award winning delicious formats. We wanted to offer our customers even more ways to find calm in their busy lifestyles, and our new gummies provide just that - a tasty and convenient option for those wanting the health benefits of magnesium without compromising on flavour or quality.”
Global vaping innovator ELFBAR has introduced its first four-pod system, the ELFBAR 4-in-1 pod kit.
Designed for flavour versatility, the rechargeable pod kit includes four 2ml pods, allowing adults to rotate between four flavours in one device.
Flavours are a key factor in motivating adult smokers to transition, with the Royal College of Physicians recommending a variety of options to support quit-smoking efforts. ELFBAR 4-in-1 gives smokers flavour flexibility and serves as an alternative to single-use vapes, building on the brand's portfolio of reusable products available since 2022.
Offering two vaping modes, ELFBAR 4-in-1 provides up to 2,400 puffs in Normal Mode while Economy Mode extends usage up to 3,200 puffs for a longer vaping experience at a lower power level.
One push of a button switches between the two modes, and the device displays when Economy Mode is active.
ELFBAR 4-in-1 has a twist mechanism for quick and easy flavour changes. With four 2ml prefilled pods, its e-liquid lasts four times longer than its single-use counterpart, meaning fewer refills for more convenience and better cost efficiency.
Once empty, the pods can be replaced.
The device features a display that indicates the remaining power of its long lasting 1500mAh battery. Its sleek, pocket-friendly design makes for easy portability, and the battery can be recharged via Type-C USB.
Advanced Mesh Coil Maximises Flavour
ELFBAR 4-in-1 pods are equipped with an advanced QUAQ MESH coil, designed to enhance flavour and reduce e-liquid waste during atomisation, ensuring that every drop is utilised effectively.
“For millions of UK adult smokers and former smokers who adopt vaping as an alternative, flavours are crucial," said Chris Kader, head of PR and communications for ELFBAR in the UK. "ELFBAR 4-in-1 serves as a practical and economical replacement for single-use vapes, prioritising a diverse flavour selection that supports smokers in their transition.”
ELFBAR 4-in-1 comes in 16 editions, including Pineapple Edition, Fruits Edition, and Blueberry Edition, each containing mixed flavours. Additionally, there are eight single-flavour 4-in-1 options to choose from, including Watermelon Ice, Blueberry Sour Raspberry and Cherry Ice.
Replaceable pods are available in pairs containing 20 mg/ml (two per cent) nicotine-strength e-liquid and available in 16 flavours, including ELFBAR favourites like Blueberry Sour Raspberry, Pineapple Ice, and Lemon Lime.
Scandinavian Tobacco Group UK has introduced this year’s limited-edition pack for its ever-popular Henri Wintermans Half Corona brand, which is available to retailers now.
The Henri Wintermans Half Corona is easily the biggest brand in the medium / large segment and is now the UK’s fifth biggest selling cigar in value terms, with annual sales worth £16.3m.

Despite the changes to the packaging, the cigars inside of course remain the same.
“Retailers certainly won’t need me to tell them that sales of larger cigars go up in the build up to Christmas when adult smokers are in celebratory mood and typically have more time to enjoy them,” said STG’s UK Head of Marketing, Prianka Jhingan. “Our Henri Wintermans Half Corona is always a big seller at this time of year and this limited issue Gentleman’s edition pack should only increase sales further. My advice to retailers is to stock up on it, as it is easily the UK’s best-selling medium / large cigar and has a loyal following due to its quality blend and heritage.”
