'I need to find these!' Britons are intrigued by Marks and Spencer's latest fruits - 'Deliciously refreshing'

The Orange Candy Melon is a new addition to supermarket shelves, while the Limelon is making a comeback.

UK Newest Foods posted on social media: "New Orange Candy Melon at M&S. A mix between a honeydew and a cantaloupe melon, two melons in one super sweet, candy-flavoured package.

Social media users were buzzing about the latest concoction. One Instagram user said: "Mate, think we need to do a taste test."

Another tagged their loved one asking: "Why do I feel like you would eat this?" The chosen fruit fan replied: "Because I will!!! I need to find this!!" Another called it "so nice", while a third said it was a "must-try".

On Facebook, one excited M&S shopper exclaimed: "I neeeeeed to try this!"

Shoppers also learned that the limelon had made a return to supermarket shelves.

UK Newest Foods revealed: "Limelon is back at M&S!" Customers were very intrigued. One shopper asked: "A limey melon? How do they even go about mixing these two?"

Ocado called it "A deliciously refreshing and tangy juicy melon with a zesty touch of lime - perfect for snacking on or serving with yoghurt for breakfast".

Back in 2020 when M&S introduced the limelon, the supermarket said on social media: "Is it a lime? Is it a melon? No, it’s a limelon!

"New in selected stores now, this fruity hybrid is a juicy melon with a burst of zesty lime flavour. Super refreshing, it makes the perfect good-for-you summer snack."

M&S Select Farms Limelon is available at Ocado for £3, while M&S Orange Candy Melon Perfectly Ripe goes for £3.20.

Supermarkets have been busy in recent days and weeks launching new products for customers.
