Yesterday we brought you the news that Asda is doing pairs of Friends trainers for just £15. Well, they’re now sold out online unfortunately, but it turns out the supermarket’s new range of Friends branded clothing doesn’t stop there. Asda George is also selling sweatshirts, pyjamas, socks and sliders, and they’ve been getting rave reviews online – one person said of the sold out white trainers: “Love love love these trainers, so fun and cheerful, as well as stylish and quite simple awesome.”
First up is a black sweatshirt themed on the popular TV series, which comes with umbrella branding, and according to Asda it’s ‘perfect for adding an extra layer to your weekend looks.’ The sweatshirt will set you back £15, and it’s gone down a storm, with perfect 5 star reviews. One happy customer said: “I bought this for my granddaughter’s 13th birthday and her face was a picture when she opened it as she is watching the series for the third time and absolutely loves it!” If you’re after some casual footwear but don’t want to wait until the trainers are back in stock, how about some black pool sliders? They’re a bargain at just £6, but you best be quick if you want some as they only have size small left.

Asda also has some Friends pyjamas going, although they’re kids rather than adult sizes – the sizes go up to age 14 though, so any small adults might just fit into them. They’ll set you back £9 a pair, so get yourself over to the George website if you want to treat your kids – or if you’re a particularly small adult. There’s also some Friends socks going for £5 for a pack of three, with one reviewer saying: “Great socks!! Lovely quality, washed well, daughter loved them!”

It’s not the first time Asda has sold a range of Friends clothing, with the supermarket releasing a load of goodies last year – all of which are currently sold out, with no indication when they might be back. These also went down a treat, overwhelmingly getting five star reviews, and included a ‘We were on a break!’, ‘How you doin?’, and ‘Here come the meat sweats’ slogan t-shirts, as well as Central Perk pyjamas.
Frozen food supermarket chain Iceland has launched an aisle dedicated to air fryer foods in a world first.
The move comes after more than 50% of Brits have reported they use the cooking appliance — reportedly cheaper to run during a cost of living crisis — several times a week.
The new dedicated aisle will include 287 items that can be cooked in the easy-to-use air fryer, such as Greggs sausage rolls, cod fillets, chicken fillets and Aunt Bessie’s Bacon Chicken Crown.

According to the frozen goods giant, the new aisle will be piloted running from June 19th – June 25th at London’s Charlton outlet.
Latest research conducted by Utilita Energy revealed that households who mainly over cook can make the switch to more energy efficient appliances and make a whopping £202 saving.
Meanwhile, switching from oven cooking to an air fryer could see an annual saving of £80.50. In a poll, the energy firm also found that 72% of Brits would like to see air fryer cooking instructions included on food packaging.

Iceland has started adding cooking instructions for air fryer usage on its packaging following its pledge to update cooking methods along with energy saving instructions.
Richard Walker, Executive Chairman of Iceland Foods, said: “We pride ourselves on knowing exactly what our customers coming through our store doors are looking for, matching their changing shopping trends with fresh ideas.
“Introducing the world’s first air fryer aisle at our Food Warehouse is another exciting example. As the popularity of air fryer cooking grows, this aisle will give customers easy access to products that work perfectly in this time and energy saving cooking appliance.”

Fans have been banging on about this one and the good people at Maccy D’s have indeed listened.
As the sun is scorching the nation and this heatwave seems to be continuing on good and strong, a new McFlurry to enjoy with its iced creamy goodness melting in your mouth is just what we’ve all been craving.

McDonald’s have confirmed they will be bringing the new Lotus Biscoff flavour to its stores from next Wednesday (June 21st).
Customers will be able to grab the delicious iced treat across the UK and Ireland for around six weeks, or as long as stocks last for this limited edition ice cream.
Although Maccies’ lovers are able to treat themselves to this popular dessert in other countries, this is the first time it will be on offer in the UK and Ireland — I know, mad!
Fast food fans will be able to enjoy it in two sizes — regular for £1.99, and mini for £1.49.

Thomas O’Neill, head of marketing, food and beverages at McDonald’s, said: “We’re so pleased to be launching the Lotus Biscoff McFlurry in the UK and Ireland.
“It’s been a long-time hope to some of our McDonald’s patrons and we’re glad we can make this into a reality.”
The new flavour has been called for by fans for quite some time now with many taking to social media in hope of bringing it into fruition — good job!
One customer said: “Biscoff McFlurry, pls bring them to UK McDonalds.”

A second fan said: “Lotus Biscoff McFlurry needs to make an appearance in the UK.”
And a third added: “A Lotus Biscoff McFlurry in the Zagreb McDonald’s last night… pleaseeeeeeee add this to the menu in the UK.”
You can currently get the Maltesers, Smarties, and Oreo McFlurry mini-size flavours for £1.49 — the same as the Biscoff mini-size. However, the regular sizes for the Maltesers, Smarties and Oreo flavours are £1.79, which is 20p cheaper than the regular Biscoff size.
Meanwhile, the Wispa and Wispa Gold mini-size flavours come in at £1.79 while the regular sizes both cost £2.29 — so the Biscoff is cheaper than these two options on both sizes.
