One shopper revealed they’d spotted a box of 10 bottles in B&M for just £8 – making it 80p a pop.

“My bargain, I love these!” Tansim wrote alongside a picture of her buy in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook.

She revealed that she’d picked hers up in B&M in Market Harborough, but added: “Apparently all B&Ms are selling them.”

“Happy me I feel 18 again…!” she exclaimed.

And people in the comments section were quick to admit they were also keen to get their hands on one of the bottles.

“OMG, I need these!” one wrote.

“Get down to B&M!” another added.

“I hope it tastes the same,” a third said.

To which someone else replied: “I can confirm it does, I got some in December from a website,

“Bottles aren’t the twisty bottles though.”

“The teenager inside me wants these soo bad!!” another wrote.

“Need to get some, bet it would give me heartburn now,” someone else joked.

“I loved these. Back in my teenage years!” another reminisced.

“Brings back some memories!” someone else said.

As another commented: “Wow wow used to love these on a night out!”

“We need these and a throw away BBQ in summer, haha!” someone else said.

“I will feel 18 again!”

The 3.4 per cent ABV orange and passion fruit vodka-based alcopop was discontinued in the early 2000s.

But Reef brand manager Jacob Barrett predicted it will be a success this time around too, as he said: “Reef feels like the perfect taste to transport people back.

“You might have rent to pay, a job to go to, children to look after, but you also have the memories of a life before all that.

“We want to help people relive that period and remember those days with a simple sip.

“Times may have changed, but Reef hasn’t!”
