No cinema trip is complete without a Tango Ice Blast.<\/p>\n

Comedian Romesh Ranganathan<\/a> once declared the drink<\/a> to be ‘unadulterated joy’, and dreamt of having his very own machine at home.<\/p>\n

And now, fans can finally enjoy the drink without heading to the big screen, as it returns to UK supermarkets<\/a> in a ready-to-drink version. <\/p>\n

Budget retailer B&M, which is famous for rare food finds, will be one of the stores offering the new drinks, along with Nisa, Spar, Co-op, Iceland and Home Bargains.<\/p>\n

And the best part? The drinks<\/a> costs just \u00a33.35 for a 2L bottle.<\/p>\n

While fans of Tango Ice Blast regularly praise the drink, one major problem is repeatedly raised: the price.<\/p>\n

‘I love Tango Ice Blasts but why do they have to cost like 50 grand?’ lamented one X user. Others said they’re charged a ‘whole house’ to get their hands on the drink.<\/p>\n

The cost of the slushy treat varies, but they’re currently available on Uber Eats for \u00a35.99, while some cinema go-ers have reported paying up to \u00a39.<\/p>\n

This new supermarket offering though will be more than half the price, and while it won’t be icy, it will come in the same tangy flavours die-hard fans know and love: cherry and raspberry.<\/p>\n

The Cherry and Raspberry Blast drinks were briefly in stores last year, but they’ll be returning in a surprise drop from tomorrow, available for just six months. A statement shared today warned ‘run don’t walk because once they’re gone, they’re really gone.’<\/p>\n

When the drinks were last on shelves, reviewers had pretty positive comments. Instagram reviewer, John from @johnssnackreviews, who shares his no holds barred thoughts on a variety of new products, gave both drinks a 7\/10, adding: ‘Worth trying but just a touch too weak on flavour for me.’<\/p>\n

The 500ml bottles will be found from April 1 at Nisa, Spar and Co-op for just \u00a32.15, while 2L varieties can be picked up in Iceland, B&M and Home Bargains for \u00a33.35.<\/p>\n

Victoria Burridge, Tango brand manager, said: ‘We\u2019ve heard our fans\u2019 cries and are thrilled to bring back Tango Cherry Blast and Raspberry Blast after they flew off the shelves when first launched last year. <\/p>\n

‘Guaranteed to deliver that iconic hit of fruity Tang, they\u2019re returning as a limited time drop so fans will need to hurry!’<\/p>\n

The Blasts aren’t the only bargain product to be arriving in supermarkets recently.<\/p>\n

Lidl<\/a> fans were sent into a frenzy when the budget retailer launched Mini Egg Brownies in its beloved bakery<\/a>, which cost just 89p each. <\/p>\n

The new item features a brownie base, and appears to have a layer of chocolate<\/a> on top which is covered in pieces of colourful crushed Mini Eggs.<\/a><\/p>\n
