LifestyleFood & DrinkMorrisonsMorrisons shoppers are racing to their local stores after learning a surprising snack is part of the meal deal - as some say it's 'dangerous' for their waistline10:46, 03 Jun 2026Meal deals have become a staple part of UK food culture over the years, as millions of us pick one up every day to enjoy for lunch between our busy days at work or school. For those unaware, a meal deal typically consists of a "main" like a sandwich, wrap, or pasta pot, a "snack" that can include fruit pots, crisps, chocolate bars, and boiled eggs, and a drink. They're available at most supermarkets, as well as shops like Boots and smaller convenience stores.When you think of a meal deal, you might be drawn to the ever-popular Tesco offering. But social media users have said there could be a better place to shop for the tastiest lunch offer, as Morrisons has one of the best snack options.In a post shared on Reddit on the Meal Deal Rates forum, someone posted a picture of their Morrisons meal deal for others on the forum to review.They chose a chicken and bacon Caesar wrap for their main, a Starbucks mocha frappuccino for their drink, and a two-pack of Mr Kipling Angel Slices for their snack.No matter what commenters thought of the poster's main and drink choice, they were hung up on one detail - as they had no idea that the delicious Mr Kipling cakes could be added to a meal deal.One person said: "You can get angel slices in a meal deal?! This is dangerous for my waistline." Another added: "You can get angel slices in a meal deal?? This is groundbreaking info for me."Those who actually did give the meal deal a score out of 10 were pretty split over whether to call it a "banger" or a "fail".Some people argued that while the items are all delicious on their own, the sugary drink and the cakes together made the whole meal "too sweet".Someone posted: "Diabetes and high blood pressure, if you're eating these regularly. Another wrote: "That is a lot of sugar."But another argued: "Straight 10/10. People who say this is too sweet are dead inside."The news comes after Tesco shoppers also recently found out that an "elite" snack is part of the supermarket's meal deal range. Posters on the same Reddit forum were shocked to discover that you can buy an ice cream along with your sandwich and drink, which is perfect for the summer heat.Article continues belowBased on a TikTok video posted last year, all individual ice creams in the ice cream freezer should qualify for the meal deal, including different Magnum varieties, as well as Feasts, Twisters, and Oreo ice cream sandwiches.However, some ice creams may not qualify for the deal, so shoppers are encouraged to look for the yellow meal deal sticker to be certain before taking your items to the till.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.RedditMorrisonsViralSupermarkets
