About Opal Fruits

Opal Fruits is the original UK name for the fruit-flavoured chewy sweets now known internationally as Starburst. The brand was introduced by Mars in the UK in autumn 1959, with the name "Opal Fruits" created by Peter Phillips (then known as Peter Pfeffer), who won £5 in a naming competition. The original four flavours - strawberry, lemon, orange, and lime - were produced at Mars' factory in Slough, Berkshire. In 1998, Mars rebranded Opal Fruits to Starburst in the UK and Ireland to standardise the product name globally. This change disappointed many British consumers who had grown up with the iconic Opal Fruits name and its memorable advertising jingle "Made to make your mouth water." After 22 years, Mars revived the Opal Fruits name in February 2020 for a limited edition run, featuring the four original flavours that older generations remembered fondly. The retro sweets sold out within weeks, demonstrating the power of nostalgia marketing. Due to overwhelming demand, Mars brought back Opal Fruits for additional limited runs in 2021 and 2024. The limited edition Opal Fruits products are typically available at value retailers including Poundland, B&M, Home Bargains, Iceland, Savers, Lidl, and The Range. The range has expanded to include ice lollies alongside the traditional chewy sweets, offering new ways to enjoy the classic flavours. Hannah Jackson, senior brand manager at Mars, noted that bringing back the original flavours "is sure to bring a smile to the faces of retro treat lovers across the nation," acknowledging the deep emotional connection British consumers have with the Opal Fruits brand.

FAQs

Grocefully is a smart grocery shopping app that automatically compares prices across all major UK supermarkets (Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, etc.) and helps you buy from the cheapest stores. We handle the complexity of split orders so you save money without any extra effort.

Our users save an average of 25-30% on their total grocery bill. For a typical £100 weekly shop, that's £20-25 in savings even after our 5% service fee. The exact amount depends on your shopping habits and the products you buy.

We currently support Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Waitrose, and Iceland. We're constantly adding new stores and will notify you when more become available.

Grocefully is available wherever the supported supermarkets deliver. Simply enter your postcode when you sign up to check availability in your area.

Our AI scans real-time prices from all supported supermarkets every time you shop. It finds exact matches or suitable alternatives for each item on your list, then automatically selects the cheapest option while considering delivery fees and minimum order requirements.

You can set brand preferences for any item. If you prefer specific brands, Grocefully will only compare prices for those brands. You can also allow substitutions for some items while keeping others fixed.

Grocefully shows you available delivery slots from each store and helps coordinate them. We optimize to get you the most convenient delivery times while maintaining the best prices.

Yes! You can link your loyalty cards from each supermarket and continue earning points on all your purchases. We'll automatically apply any available discounts.

We charge a simple 5% service fee on your total order value. For example, if your groceries cost £100, you'll pay £5 as a service fee. This covers our costs for finding you the best prices, handling multiple orders, and providing customer support.

Our users save an average of 25-30% per shop. Even after the 5% service fee, you're still saving 20-25% on average. For a £100 shop, you'd save £25-30 and pay £5 in fees, netting you £20-25 in savings!

The service fee is automatically calculated and shown before you complete your order. It's added to your total, so you only make one payment. No hidden charges or surprises.

No hidden fees! You pay the grocery prices (same as shopping directly), the stores' delivery fees (if any), and our 5% service fee. That's it. We believe in complete transparency.

If you're not happy with your savings, contact our support team. We'll review your order and if we didn't save you money (after accounting for our fee), we'll refund the service fee. Your satisfaction is our priority.

Yes, you can modify orders up until the supermarket's cut-off time (usually a few hours before delivery). Any changes are automatically synced across all your orders.

If an item is out of stock, we'll automatically find the next cheapest option from another store or suggest a suitable replacement. You can set preferences for how you want us to handle substitutions.

Refunds are processed according to each supermarket's policy. If you're not satisfied with your savings, contact our support team - we offer a money-back guarantee on our service fee.
