Scots Home Bargains shopper raves over 99p nostalgic sweets flavoured juice

A Scottish social media star was left so excited by retro sweets flavoured drinks from Home Bargains that she had to give them all a try.

If you grew up during the 90s and early 00s, then you'll remember sweetie favourites from Swizzels and Barrats, including Flumps, Refreshers and Drumsticks.

And now you can get a taste of your childhood favourites thanks to a range of nostalgic drinks from Home Bargains - and they cost just 99p. The drinks have already proven popular with Scottish shoppers after one influencer grabbed them all for a review recently.

Emma Cassidy from Glasgow recently took to her TikTok account, @emmacassidy.x, to share how she snapped up every flavour of the retro sweets flavoured juice from her local Home Bargains as she "needed" to try every flavour.

She said: "Remember when I tried the Capri Sun diluting juice and I was freaking out?

"Well I've just found even cooler diluting juice. I was in Home Bargains today and I had to get every flavour as I need to try every single flavour."

The social media star then explained how she managed to snap up flavours inspired by some of our tuck shop favourites including Refresher's Sour Apple, Love Hearts Orange and Lemon, Drumstick's Raspberry and Apple and Flump's Vanilla Marshmallow.

Starting out with the Drumstick flavoured juice, Emma was immediately blown away by the flavour which she said "actually tasted like a drumstick."

She said: "Oh my god that is so good! That actually tastes like a Drumstick. Like the after taste, not straight away."

The Glasgow-based influencer also went on to try the Love Hearts flavour juice, which she said initially "smelled like B.O", but was "banging" when the water was included.

After giving it a taste, Emma admitted that it was nice, though the Drumsticks "tastes better" as it just tasted of normal orange diluting juice.

As for the Refreshers Sour Apple Juice, Emma said: "Wow, that is so good. I am going to drink that with vodka 10 out of 10." After giving the Flumps fizzy juice a taste, the TikTok star said that she "genuinely felt like she had just ate a flump."

The TikTok star's review of the nostalgic sweets was quickly met with hundreds of comments from other shoppers who had tried the "heavy banging" drinks.

One said: "They look heavy banging!! Xx."

A second exclaimed: "Swear the flump one you can drink straight away xx."

While a third added: "On my way to home bargains now."
