Others are claiming they look just like Texan bars, which were made up of toffee nougat wrapped in chocolate and sold in the 1970s and 1980s before being discontinued.
One said "they look like Texan bars" while another added "are they like Texan bars".
B&M said the Perky Nana isn't a permanent addition and stock was limited, although it will get another delivery in around two months' time.
If you're keen to snap up one of the banana-themed bars, you won't be able to get it online as B&M doesn't offer a home delivery option.
