Dad finds THREE fingers in rare limited-edition Orange Twirl in B&M
ORANGE Twirls are proving elusive for some Cadbury fans, but one very lucky dad has managed to find a super rare THREE-fingered bar.
Samuel May, 27, from Swindon in Wiltshire, couldn’t believe his luck when he nabbed the extra stick of chocolate after buying the Orange Twirl from B&M in Transfer Bridges Country Road Retail Park.
Twirl bars usually contain just two sticks of chocolate, so Samuel got one extra stick for his money.
B&M is currently selling Orange Twirls for 49p, the lowest price we've seen so far for the limited edition chocolate.
Orange Twirls have been flying off the shelves since their release in September and cheeky eBay sellers have even been flogging them online for up to £700 a case.
Part of the problem could have been the new bars were initially only available in select shops.
But they’re now available in most major supermarkets nationwide, with B&M the latest shop to start stocking them.
Samuel, a photographer and owner of charity , said he’d been searching for "ages and ages" to find the limited edition bar.
He'd been shopping in B&M for household products when he spotted the Orange Twirls by the till and decided to pick up a couple for himself and his partner, Catrina Fletcher, 31, a stay-at-home mum.
And incredibly, he didn't even realise he'd found a bumper bar until he got home.
Samuel told The Sun: "It’s incredible. We picked up a couple, not even realising one of them had an extra stick.
"We didn’t realise until we got home then I spotted one was chunkier, which I thought was strange.
";They’re so hard to get anyway so to get three is pretty mad. They are delicious."
Despite Orange Twirls selling for huge amounts online, Samuel said he wasn't interesting in flogging his rare bar.
Instead, he ended up giving the third stick to his eight-month-old daughter, Nalah.
Samuel, who also has son George, three, added: "I wanted to keep it and see what people thought.
"The response has been great because you don't usually see three fingers in a Twirl."
Cadbury said: “The reaction to the launch of Cadbury Twirl Orange has been incredible and the product is in very high demand across the country.
“This guy has hit the jackpot by finding three Twirl fingers in a rare limited-edition Cadbury Twirl Orange.
“We can’t promise there will be any more to come.”
