A RARE Galaxy favourite has made a surprise comeback after more than a decade off UK shelves – and shoppers are racing to snap them up.
Eagle-eyed shoppers spotted Galaxy Flutes on sale at Farmfoods and posted about it on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group

The 22.5g crispy wafer roll, packed with smooth vanilla cream and coated in Galaxy’s signature silky milk chocolate, is selling for 39p each or 3 for £1.
The treats are similar to the Milky Way Crispy Rolls which returned last month after it was discontinued three years ago
Shoppers were quick to share their excitement.
One user tagged a friend and said: “Didn’t u used to love them Galaxy Flutes x.”
Another eager shopper wrote: “Oooo Galaxy ones as well, this is not helping my waistline.”
A third joked: “Someone has been eating mine at home, one guess who that could be xxx”
For those who can’t make it to Farmfoods, a pack of 12 (22.5g bars) is available on Discount Dragon for £5.99 – saving £6.01 off the RRP of £12.
But do bear in mind delivery fees when shopping online.
It appears that the last time the chocolate was displayed on shelves was 2012.
It is not clear if the sweet treats have officially made a comeback but The Sun has approached Mars for comment and will update this story when we hear back.

Popular chocolate bars making a comeback
White Crunch
Seven years after being discontinued, Nestlé’s White Crunch bars were spotted in Home Bargains earlier this year.
The chocolates, which were first launched in 1965, shocked customers when it appeared on the shelves after it was axed from production in 2018.
Although the return did not seem to be permanent, likely meaning the bars were imported from another country where it is still being sold.
Cadbury’s Fuse
Axed in 2006 after just 10 years, this chocolate, peanut, raisin, cereal and fudge combo has been spotted back on shelves.
Dairy Milk Marble
In December, B&M brought back this milk and white chocolate blend with a hazelnut praline centre.
Caramac
Last July, Nestlé revived Caramac after 64 years in three forms, a classic single bar, three-bar multi-pack and sharing bag of buttons.
There have been calls to make the move permanent from excited customers although this is yet to be confirmed.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
