Iceland shoppers are 'fuming' about the new £2.50 Turkey Twizzlers

This week 90's babies across the UK rejoiced, as Bernard Matthews announced that Turkey Twizzlers were finally making a comeback - 15 years after they were given the boot by TV chef Jamie Oliver.

The new and improved Turkey Twizzlers went on sale in Iceland supermarkets yesterday, with shoppers able to choose from Original Tangy Tomato and Chilli Cheese flavours.

The packs currently cost £2.50 for eight - a small price to pay for a taste of pure nostalgia, I'm sure you'll agree.

All sounds pretty good right? Well, it would be, if you're fortunate enough to get your hands on a box.

Many shoppers were left 'heartbroken' yesterday, after they rushed to their local Iceland, only to find Turkey Twizzlers were nowhere to be seen.

"Gutted.. I just went in Iceland to get some Turkey twizzlers and they didn’t have any," wrote one person on Twitter.

Another wrote: "Went to Iceland for 9am to get Turkey Twizzlers and they ain’t got none. Pure fuming."

"Did i drive to two different Iceland stores for Turkey twizzlers? Yes. Did I leave both stores empty handed? Also yes. Thursday ruined," tweeted another disappointed shopper.

Somebody else added: "Heartbroken coz Iceland dont have any turkey twizzlers."

While the meaty treat launched in selected Icleand supermarkets on Thursday, it will be a couple of weeks until they're available all stores and online.

When asked about the availability of Turkey Twizzlers, the official Iceland Twitter account wrote: "I can confirm that Turkey Twizzlers will be available to purchase in all of our stores and Online from 07/09/20."

We've waited 15 years - what's a few more weeks to wait?
