Morrisons shoppers can’t get enough of new summer slushie that’s based on iconic US candy
MORRISONS shoppers are flocking to pick up a new summer slushie based on an iconic US candy.
The supermarket has introduced Twizzlers Freeze, a strawberry-flavoured slush based treat.
In a post on social Morrisons said: “We’re super-excited to be welcoming Twizzlers Freeze to our stores for this summer only.
“Based on the hugely popular US candy, it’s a strawberry-flavoured slush that is the perfect way to cool down on hot summer afternoons.”
Now shoppers have expressed their delight at the prospect of enjoying the ice.
One customer said: “Twizzlers are one of the best sweets. Never see them in the UK so I’d like to try this.”
Another said: “Didn’t even know my Morrisons did slush lol. So would be good to try one.”
Another added : “Omg one of my fav American sweets in frozen drink form.”
And one said : “I love Twizzlers and my daughter loves American sweets.”
Another said: “I forgot to bring some Twizzlers back from America this past may so if I won a drink it would be absolutely wonderful.”
And one said: “Interested to try, I like trying new slush flavours.”
Morrisons has recently increased the temperature of its freezers from -18°C to -15°C across 10 branches as part of a trial to reduce energy use.
It is understood there are plans for a wider roll-out based on a review of the trial, which Morrisons claims is a UK supermarket first.
Ruth McDonald, Morrison group corporate services director, said: “Industry standards today are based on safety, science or convenience.
“The standard temperature for the storage and transport of frozen food today looks like it is simply a convention from nearly 100 years ago.
“We now have vastly better freezers and modern technology and monitoring that gives us a precise picture of frozen food temperatures throughout the supply chain.”
