Out of all the weird and wonderful inventions for dogs these days, bacon-scented bubbles could be the one that reigns supreme.

It’s no secret that bacon is the way to the hearts of all pooches far and wide, so this new toy could be a real winner when it comes to being the favourite dog-parent.

The new scented bubbles come courtesy of Yorkshire-based pet product manufacturers Pets Pad, who have perfected a non-toxic, tasty and deliciously-scented bubble mixture perfect for both dogs and children.

Each bottle – which can come in 150ml and 500ml sizes – contain thousands of bubbles, equating for hours of back garden fun.

The bubble mixture can be used with the accompanying hand-held wand or, alternatively, can be poured inside bubble machines to keep your dogs entertained all day.

And the reviews for the bubbles have been glowing, with a now-viral Facebook post having been inundated with thousands of comments from happy pet owners and parents.

Commenting on the post, which was shared into the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK page, one social media user wrote: “Can confirm, my dog adores these.

“The bubbles are edible too, so it’s safe if your dog snaps at them and catches a few!”

Another commented: “Been using this for months on my dog Marley [sic] he’s obsessed with them it gives him so much exercise chasing the bubbles up and down the garden”.

Though a third pet owner warned: “Just don’t use them in the house… Bacon scented carpet for days”.

Pots of the Bacon Scented & Flavoured Dog Bubbles are available to buy online from Pets Pad now, and cost from just £2.25. Order yours here.

Aldi has answered everyone’s summer prayers with the launch of its bargain frozen drinks machine.

The supermarket, famed for its wonderfully random middle-aisle products, has truly outdone itself this week with the nifty Ambiano Frozen Drinks Maker, perfect for both children and adults alike.

The machine, remarkably priced under £25, can make both delicious frozen drinks or shaved snow cone ice, and comes complete with two ice shave settings: fine and coarse.

The machine also comes complete with a safety locking lid, easy pour jug and slip resistant feet – making it perfect for those late night – and somewhat messy – summer get-togethers.

In what might be the best news of the century, Quality Street sharing chocolate bars could soon be arriving in UK supermarkets.

Over the years, Quality Street chocolates have become somewhat of a cultural phenomenon here in the UK, with millions of families cracking out the iconic purple tin every Christmas.

But now, the time to enjoy the tasty variety of chocolates as big sharing bars could soon be a reality.

Food news page UK Snack Attack was the one to break the very exciting news, sharing two images of The Purple One and Orange Crunch sharing chocolate bars.

They wrote on their Instagram page: “The sun is shining, birds and chirping, and its only 232 days until Christmas! You know what that means? Its time to start leaking the Christmas Chocolate!

“No word yet on price / location as it is so far away!”

Very little is known on the chocolate bars at the moment, though it is believed that The Purple One and the Orange Crunch will be the only varieties turned into sharing bars.
