This '80s treat is making a comeback and you're definitely going to love it!

There's something special about treats from the past. They bring with them a sense of nostalgia, making us feel warm and fuzzy inside when we get to try them again.
Whether it's a classic chocolate block that takes us back to our childhood or a cake recipe that was passed down from our grandparents, these treats always seem to hit the spot.
And in a world that can often feel uncertain and chaotic, it's nice to have a little taste of nostalgia to remind us of simpler times.
Speaking of nostalgia, did you know that a popular treat from the 80s has recently made a comeback?
Peters launched its newest flavour from the Twin Pole ice cream range. The Blue Raspberry Spider, which features a delectable creamy vanilla ice cream on one side and scrumptious blue raspberry-flavoured sorbet on the other, is said to be reminiscent of the iconic Smurfee — a treat that was initially made available in 1979.

Peters Ice Cream Marketing Manager Eileen Whitta acknowledged Smurfee's 'cultural footprint' among ice cream fans.
She said: 'Smurfee was such an iconic ice cream and has a special place in our history alongside Twin Pole.'
'We are so excited to share a reimagined version that lovers of the original Smurfee, as well as the younger generation, can enjoy and share.'
Beginning in September, the Twin Pole Blue Raspberry Spider will be sold at all major supermarkets and convenience stores for $7.50 per pack.
Several shoppers were ecstatic to see the ice cream again.
Bob Byrne, author of Remember When in Australia, said: 'I have fond memories of enjoying a Smurfee with a friend on a hot summer’s day in the ’80s, it was one of my favourite treats of all time, a memory that I look forward to recreating with the new Twin Pole.'

Some people took to social media to express their delight over the release of the new flavour.
One shopper wrote: 'I only saw them in the shops today and said to my daughter that it’s the Smurfee ice-cream and she looked at me as if I was from another planet.'
'She’s 15 lol Can’t wait to buy some! YYYYUUUUMMMMM!'
'Ooh, I loved these! Hope they still taste the same,' another added.
A third chimed in: 'We can never have enough blue food colouring in life!'
While the ice cream is technically not identical to the Smurfees, it can still bring nostalgia to many people who experienced tasting the original treat.
There's something about certain foods that can take us back to a different time in our lives. Maybe it's the taste, the smell, or the way it looks.
Whatever it is, certain foods have the power to transport us to another place and time — and it's always a nice feeling.
So, next time you're feeling a little down, why not treat yourself to a blast from the past? You might just find that it's exactly what you need.
