Coco Pops fans there's a new flavour in town

When you think of classic cereals coco pops should definitely enter your mind and for good reason too; they're simple, delicious and brings back memories of our childhood.

If you love them then there's good news in store because Kelloggs have revealed that they've only gone and made white coco pops and they're out in the UK.

Announcing the exciting news, they posted a snap of the new breakfast on Instagram and wrote alongside it: "Just landed…WHITE CHOC COCO POPS! 😍 That’s right, you heard it here first. Get your hands on a pack now! 🤤"

If you fancy grabbing your hands on these absolute gems then head into your local Tesco or Asda store for a box. The recommended retail price is £2.99 but of course, retailers are allowed to set their own prices.

While we're on the topic of breakfast we've had a look back at 17 discontinued cereals that we want to return to the shelves immediately...

If breakfast is meant to be the most important meal of the day, why do they always get rid of the BEST cereals?

Ok, so most of them were packed with more E-numbers than a tonne of hundreds-and-thousands mixed into a vat of cola, but they just tasted so damn good.

Let's take a sugar fuelled walk down memory lane and call for these discontinued cereals to make a comeback, before we have to force down another boring bowl of muesli.

Which cereals do you remember?

Pop Tarts Crunch

Just when you thought there was nothing better than a Pop Tart for breakfast, Kellogg's launched the Pop Tarts Crunch cereal in 1994. Available in frosted strawberry and frosted brown sugar cinnamon - we'd be happy with either flavour to make a comeback in our breakfast bowls, thanks.

Marshmallow Krispies

Snap!, Crackle! and Pop! first gave us this sugary goodness back in 1982. Who remembers fishing out the marshmallow bits with a spoon before wolfing down the krispies?

Oreo O's

We all know that cookies and cream are a winning combo, which is why Oreo cereal just made so much sense. Oreo hoops drenched in cold milk which soon turned into chocolate-milk greatness - delish! In their noticeable absence, just get a packet of Oreos and a pint of cold milk, then get dipping.

Sprinkle Sprangles

Star shaped cookie puffs sweetened with syrup and sprinkled with hundreds-and-thousands? Yes please. These magical little munchies were as pretty as they were tasty. And the almighty crunch just about sealed their place in this list.

Froot Loops

Froot Loops are a true oldie but goodie, first launched way back in the '60s. Toucan Sam was the Froot Loop connoisseur with his rainbow beak representing the flavours which included cherry, orange, lemon and grape. Surely we could count these as part of our five a day?

Discontinued cereals S'mores Crunch6 of 17

S'mores Crunch

Think cinnamon Golden Grahams dusted in chocolate with tiny marshmallow pieces and you're on the right lines for S'mores Crunch. So it was basically a delicious dessert in your belly before the day even started.

Waffle Crisp

Waffles for breakfast have always been an excellent idea, which is what made the maple syrup flavoured Waffle Crisps totally moreish.

Discontinued cereals Smorz8 of 17

Smorz

2002 was a good year with the launch of these marshmallow and chocolate filled grahams. Biting into a Smorz was basically breakfast heaven.

Smurf-Berry Crunch

Who didn't love The Smurfs as a kid? Of course the popular cartoon won itself a cereal line! Dear old Papa Smurf served up a bowl of fruity sweetened corn, supposedly made with 'Smurf-berries'.

Discontinued cereals Cap'n Crunch10 of 17

Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter

No list of retro cereals would be complete without Cap'n Crunch, especially Peanut Butter. Crunchy cereal balls made with real peanut butter - this is simple but seriously tasty cereal we need in our lives again.

Discontinued cereals Cinnamon Toast Crunch11 of 17

Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Think little tiny pieces of crispy toast with a cinnamon coating - they knew how to start the day properly in 1984! And staying with the toast theme...

Discontinued cereals French Toast Crunch12 of 17

French Toast Crunch

This was the sister cereal to Cinnamon Toast Crunch, with slight difference in flavouring using a French toast taste. We were a big fan of both but would take either back. Please?

Discontinued cereals Rocky Road13 of 17

Rocky Road

Rocky Road as a cereal? We're still salivating over 30 years since its launch. The only thing that will stop this drooling is bringing its marshmallowy and chocolatey goodness back to our bowls.

Discontinued cereals Dunkin' Donuts Cereal14 of 17

Dunkin' Donuts Cereal

What happens when two great foods unite? Dunkin' Donuts Cereal, that's what. Launched back in 1988, sugary donut-shaped hoops were available in either Glazed Style or Chocolate. Thankfully, we'll settle with proper, original glazed donuts until the cereal version makes a comeback.

Discontinued cereals Nerds15 of 17

Nerds

These little guys had a short but seriously sweet stint in the mid-'80s. Nerds candy was turned into a cereal with two flavours available in each box - orange/strawberry or cherry/grape. The big question was: 'which side are you gonna eat first?' If only we still had a choice!

Discontinued cereals Cocoa Pebbles16 of 17

Cocoa Pebbles

Another nod to cartoon themed cereals, The Flinstones had a whole range! Cocoa Pebbles were super chocolatey nuggets and tasted amazing in a bowl of cold milk.

Discontinued cereals Quisp17 of 17

Quisp

One of the original greats, Quisp by Quaker Oats debuted in 1965 with space-saucer shaped corn bites baked in syrup. You might also remember the crazy cartoon advertisements featuring cute characters Quisp and Quake.

She admitted to Closer magazine: "I usually have a protein shake first thing, followed by scrambled eggs and avocado after the gym.

"In the afternoon, Paddy and I will eat out at a restaurant. I’ll order chicken salad with extra chicken to get a good protein hit after exercising.

"In the evenings, we’ll have salmon with broccoli and sweet potato. I snack on apples, bananas and grapes every day."
