Okay, so picture this: I'm minding my own business in the Asda dessert aisle yesterday when I see this woman literally sprinting past me with her trolley.
Turns out everyone's losing their minds over these new Swizzels Squashies Drumstick dessert sauces that just dropped. And honestly? After seeing the chaos firsthand, I get it.
The Facebook Post That Started It All
Some legend posted on Facebook about finding these bad boys at Asda, and within hours the comments section turned into what I can only describe as a sugar-fueled treasure hunt coordination center. People were tagging their mates left and right, sharing store locations, even offering to grab extras for friends who couldn't make it.
One comment that made me laugh: "I will be running there now." Another person straight-up admitted they'd probably get addicted because they're already obsessed with regular Squashies.
Can't blame them, really.
What's All the Fuss About?
These sauces apparently match the flavors of those chewy Drumstick sweets we all grew up with - you know, the ones that used to get stuck in your teeth for hours but you'd eat them anyway. The blue razz version is getting particular love on TikTok, with one user calling it "banging" (which, let's be honest, is the highest praise you can get from a teenager).
People are already planning their dessert strategies - ice cream toppers, pancake drizzles, milkshake mix-ins. I saw one person mention putting it on toast, which sounds either brilliant or absolutely mental.
Asda's Track Record with Nostalgic Treats
This isn't their first rodeo with retro-inspired goodies, and they've got a pretty solid hit rate. Last year they launched these muffins based on Refreshers and Drumsticks for just 38p each. Thirty-eight pence! That's cheaper than my morning coffee by about £3.50.
Then there was that massive Halloween cookie back in October that The Sun actually crowned as their top pick during a taste test. Apparently it was stuffed with sweets adn soft cookie dough (the kind that makes you question why you ever buy the pre-made stuff).
The Great Sauce Hunt Continues
From Leeds to London, people are hitting up their local Asda stores hoping to snag a bottle or two before they disappear. Because let's face it - limited edition treats at supermarkets have the lifespan of a mayfly these days.
I'm genuinely curious to see how long this frenzy lasts. Will these sauces become a permanent fixture, or will they vanish into the same mysterious void that claimed those amazing cookies-and-cream Oreo bars from 2019?
Either way, if you're planning a sauce hunt of your own, maybe avoid peak shopping hours unless you enjoy dodging enthusiastic dessert fans with their trolleys.
Trust me on this one.
