Aside from Cheese Strings, Peperami and Capri Suns, there was one thing we all wanted to find when we opened our lunch box in the 90s – a Müller Corner.
And there were a few specific flavours that people really loved at that time, including Apple Crumble and Mississippi Mud Pie.
Sadly these two iconic snacks were lost over the years and many will have missed digging into them for dessert or just whenever the craving for a sweet treat arose.
But if you’ve been feeling deprived, you don’t have to any longer as Müller has confirmed several 90s classics have made a comeback in major supermarkets.
Shoppers can once again get their hands on Apple Crumble, Mississippi Mud Pie and Cherry Bakewell Inspired Corners.
These limited-edition products disappeared in the 90s, but made a brief comeback in October 2024, before vanishing from shop shelves again.
However, fans can get their hands on them once more for a limited time, as Müller has taken them out of the archives and four-packs of the yoghurts are available from all supermarkets now, priced at £3.
For those who don’t remember, the Mississippi Mud Pie Inspired one features a creamy toffee and coffee yoghurt, with a chocolate under-layer and a separate helping of chocolate crumble.
The Cherry Bakewell Inspired one has cherry yoghurt with cherry pieces, a raspberry under-layer and a corner full of biscuit crumb.
And finally, the Apple Crumble Inspired treat contains a custard yoghurt with an apple under-layer and crumble pieces to go on top.
The Apple Crumble one was a particular favourite with yoghurt fans, with some admitting to ‘fighting over’ the pots since they returned.
In reviews shared to Sainsbury’s website, a user known as HonestReviewer23 claimed they were ‘better than apple crumble’, adding: ‘The yoghurt is like a creamy cold custard and hidden underneath you’ll find some apple sauce, but the magic happens when you add the dry crumble pieces on top. So good we’ve been fighting over them!’
Similarly, Jussieb3 wrote: ‘Really loved these yoghurts. The crumbly topping was perfect and tasted so good with the apple and yoghurt. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be buying these again.’
And Leah118 claimed it was the ‘best’ yoghurt she’d ‘ever had’, continuing: ‘Can’t recommend enough, delicious apple and the crumble is the best!’
On Reddit, there was a lot of nostalgia surrounding the three flavours as well, with u/Rookieboy10 claiming the Apple Crumble one is ‘absolutely S-Tier’ (which apparently means it’s top of the scale, making it superior), while u/Bronze-Playa thought the Mississippi Mud Pie ones ‘were elite’.
However, not everyone felt the same way, as u/joe_ivo said: ‘The M&S Apple Crumble yoghurt (actually all their range yoghurts…the rhubarb and custard one is also incredible) knock these muller corners out of the sky. The yoghurt is too thin in the muller ones.’
And u/good_as_golden posted: ‘Nothing will ever top the strawberry with chocolate orange balls corner, I’ve just googled and discovered they’ve brought them back but alas I cannot enjoy them as I’m dairy free now sighs.’
Others wanted the Toffee Hoops flavour to make a return, as well as the rhubarb crumble.
Speaking about the return of the 90s classics, Helen Carswell, marketing manager for Müller Corner, said: ‘There’s a reason the 90s was such a great time. It was a decade of bold flavours, chunky gadgets, and unforgettable TV and movie characters that are still revered today.
‘From the snacks we enjoyed after school to the tech that felt like the future, everything came with a sense of excitement and simplicity that’s hard to replicate today. That’s why we’re pleased to bring a corner of this retro period back with our Apple Crumble Inspired yogurt. One spoonful and you might just bust out the running man or electric slide.’
Why are we all so obsessed with food from the 90s?
These days, everything from the clothes we wear, to the groceries we buy seems to have been plucked straight from our childhood these days.
Big brands are getting in on the action, with Walkers recently launching retro throwbacks in supermarkets, Cadbury turned back the clock for its 200th anniversary, and now Müller has brought back three 90s treats as well.
Dr. Thomas Robinson, a senior lecturer in marketing at The University of London’s Bayes Business School, claimed that the reason why brands are tapping into nostalgia is rather sad.
‘The broader cultural diagnosis of why we have resorted to nostalgia is more interesting,’ he told Metro. ‘People don’t like the world that they live in, there’s no hope for the future, so the go-to is nostalgia.
‘It’s an expression of the times that we’re living in where there’s a huge amount of uncertainty – we have one future for robots, another for sustainability and there are lots of wars going on.
‘With all of this happening, it’s easier to get people to look back and think about how good the past was.’
He adds that when we do this though, it’s often through rose tinted glasses, and we forget about the negative things that were happening in the world at that time.
‘Many brands would be far better served by trying to diagnose and understand the world we’re living in now and coming up with actual solutions, because at this point we’re basically just treading water.’
