Some things millennial women love: Chocolate, sausage dogs, and a dose of childhood nostalgia (and plants and lots of other stuff, obv).
Which is why we think purse friendly supermarket ASDA has totally smashed their latest release, which is a cute twist on one of the enduring icons of our youth.
We’re talking about Colin the Caterpillar, and his fun new 2020 counterpart Sid the Sausage Dog.
The same ooey-gooey chocolate log we remember from birthday parties past now comes in a cute dog form and can feed up to 20 people which, tbh, is about 15 more than we get at our birthday parties as grown-ups (more for us, then).
CHECK OUT: the chocolate bars we miss
CLOSER chocolate bars we miss - slider
1 of 211) Dairy Milk Tiffin
After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!
2 of 212) Cadbury Coconut Boost
The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!
3 of 213) Mars Delight
That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, we despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.
4 of 214) Cadbury Marble
Milk and white chocolate AND praline in one bar? Yup. Cadbury's really are one of the best at coming up with new recipes.
5 of 215) Cadbury Spira
Two fingers of Dairy Milk with chocolate spiralling around the outside... YUM.
6 of 216) Time Out
The Time Out was very slyly taken off the shelves - basically a chocolate wafer, but SO MUCH MORE. Thankfully, they still exist in shops as a single wafer.
7 of 217) Cadbury Snow Flake
The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!
8 of 218) Rowntree's Cabana
Coconut, caramel, cherries and chocolate – the ultimate tropical chocolate bar, right?
9 of 219) Trio
TRIO! TRIOOOO! I want Trio and I want one now!
10 of 2110) Cadbury Dream
Possibly one of the best additions to the Heroes tin at Christmas.
11 of 2111) Cadbury Fuse
Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! It's years since we last saw a Fuse bar around. Sob.
12 of 2112) Terry's Pyramint
Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!
13 of 2113) KitKat Senses
We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.
14 of 2114) Milkybar Choo
We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.
15 of 2115) Cadbury Taz Bar
When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.
16 of 2116) Twix Top
This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?!
17 of 2117) Cadbury Snaps
They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap!
18 of 2118) Rowntree's Secret
Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.
19 of 2119) Cadbury Wispa Mint
We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.
20 of 2120) Texan
The mighty chew.
21 of 2121) Flyte
Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.

Introducing Sid on the ‘gram, ASDA said, “We'd like to introduce Sid the Sausage Dog. Guaranteed to create the woof-factor for any special celebration, Sid is a whole foot long feeding up to 20 people.
"Sid consists of a soft chocolate sponge, rolled with chocolate buttercream. For the final flourish, he is coated with milk chocolate and edible decorations, creating a novelty centrepiece for only £12.
“We know our customers love a novelty cake that injects plenty of fun into special celebrations at an affordable price.
"We've seen a rising demand from our customers for sausage dog-themed products, so Sid is a great addition to our celebration cake range and is sure to become one popular pooch.”
Speaking of nostalgic chocolate treats, we took a trip down memory lane to reminisce about some of our favourite discontinued offerings from the likes of Cadbury, Mars and Rowntrees.
