Shoppers say supermarket has 'lost its mind' over £80 Father's Day gift
Father's Day is fast approaching and many people will be snapping up last-minute gifts for their dad or father figure. The supermarkets have all the usual items on offer, from beer sets to best dad mugs, but there's one product that's causing a bit of a stir with shoppers. Morrisons has launched a limited-edition Toblerone bar that weighs a whopping 4.5kg and is more than 12 times the size of the regular chocolate treat. But it's not the size that has people raising their eyebrows, it's the price as the bar, which is bigger and heavier than a newborn baby, costs £80 (£60 with a Morrisons More Card). A shot of the massive Toblerone was shared on social media in the Food Finds UK Official group where people were baffled as to why anyone would ever need that much chocolate. Teddy Lowki branded it 'senseless', writing: 'Question is, does anyone really need this chocolate bar? Parting with over £50 for chocolate, I don't see the logic. Even if it was a Christmas promotion, it's just senseless.' And Giulia Viglianisi said: 'They lost their minds' as Ranae Quinn posted: 'Not a chance, doubt anyone likes their dad that much.' Diana Brown also wasn't keen, sharing: 'Love Morrisons, love Toblerone, but would never buy one that big and for that amount of money.' 'No way would I pay that,' exclaimed Jenny Cornwell, as Ian Crist asked: 'How much?!!!' 'Ridiculous price for some chocolate,' agreed Paul Smith and Mark O'Donohoe added: 'How do you justify this to yourself £60 for a chocolate bar? That's a whole shop with other treats in that shop.' Others asked if it was a 'joke' and wondered how on earth anyone would break into a chocolate bar that size. Not everyone was opposed to the product though with some being fans of it. Scott Bishop revealed he'd had one last year, as Steve Clark posted: 'More reasons to shop at Morrisons.' Kimberley Ackew admitted the chocolate bar was her 'dream', as Bex Brown claimed people were buying them, as they'd all sold out in her local store. Katy Bailey was also a fan, sharing: 'My hubby bought me one a few years back, it took us months to eat, had to use a sharp knife to segment it, it was awesome.' According to Morrisons, the Swiss milk chocolate bar is £19.99 cheaper with a More Card than it is at alternative retailers such as Amazon, where it costs £79.99. Morrisons is going hard on supersizing things for Father's Day. As well as the giant Toblerone, the retailer is also selling a Footlong sausage roll for Father's Day and both of these are available in stores until June 15. More Trending And in Morrisons Cafés nationwide, dads (and anyone who fancies it) can also tuck into a ginormous breakfast feast, as the 'Big Daddy' is back. The 23-piece fry-up is £10 and features four bacon rashers, four sausages, four crispy hash browns, three slices of black pudding, three fried eggs, baked beans, sliced mushrooms and not one, or two but three slices of bread with butter. For Morrisons Scottish customers, the four sausages and four hash browns are replaced with four Lorne sausages and four traditional potato scones. View More » Chris Strong, senior café trading manager at Morrisons, said: 'Back by popular demand, our Big Daddy Breakfast is bigger and better! It's for the hungriest of dads and father figures that do us proud. We've created the Big Daddy Breakfast to be bold, satisfying, and full of classic favourites, all at a price that's hard to beat.'

Tesco shoppers go wild for 'unreal' Marmite products - and joke the 'world is better' for the range
Tesco shoppers have gone wild over a new range of Marmite products dubbed 'unreal' by fans of the spread. The versatile yeast spread has collaborated with a number brands over the years, creating peculiar innovations with everything from cheese to popcorn, oatcakes and even sausages and butter. Now, the British supermarket giant has unveiled a new range of Marmite infused potato products, debuting a total of four new potato-based dishes. The range was spotted shelved in the chilled section at Tesco, with eagle-eyed foodies taking to social media to spread the word to Marmite fanatics. Sharing the news, popular food spotter page Food Finds UK Official, posted pictures of the tasty new selection. Included in the range is a packet of Marmite coated roast potatoes, as well as wedges and a creamy mash packing a delicious helping of the salty spread. The fourth and final on the new Marmite menu is a cheese potato gratin made with sliced potatoes, sharp cheddar, crunchy breadcrumbs, all combined with the tasty yeast condiment. Each of the chilled range costs £3.50 and is available for purchase both instore and online. Taking to social media, devoted Marmite fans have hailed the new products, with one describing the delectable dishes as 'unreal' and 'banging'. 'Look at them bad boys. Mmmmmm,' one wrote. 'Our world is better,' a second praised the supermarket giant, writing 'Tesco is killing it.' 'Oh yes please!!! I already do my own marmite roasters but these look unreal,' another said. And it would appear the range has been popular, with other commenters saying they had seen the entire range already sold out in their local shops. However, not everyone approved on the new products, with some Marmite sceptics writing in the comments it was the 'worst taste ever'. 'Love marmite but this sounds disgusting,' another unconvinced commenter wrote. The new range is yet to be reviewed online, with each of the four products, which are all available for online purchase, having yet to be receive any star-ratings on the retailer's website. Marmite Mash Potato £3.50 Shop The versatile yeast spread has collaborated with a number brands over the years, creating peculiar innovations with everything from cheese to popcorn, oatcakes and even sausages and butter Marmite Roast Potatoes £3.50 Shop The range was spotted shelved in the chilled section at Tesco, with eagle-eyed foodies taking to social media to spread the word to Marmite fanatics. Marmite Potato Wedges £3.50 Shop Included in the range is a packet of Marmite coated roast potatoes, as well as wedges and a creamy mash packing a delicious helping of the salty spread Marmite Cheese & Marmite Potato Gratin £3.50 Shop The spread has become an increasingly popular - though no less divisive - addition to a number of dishes, with celebrity chef, Nigella, having raised eyebrows when she published a recipe for a Marmite smeared spaghetti. Others curious cooks have used Marmite in a range of unique recipes, including adding it to cheese straws, glazing spuds and smearing it throughout sandwiches. Marmite has previously collaborated with a number of brands, including infusing the distinctive taste of the spread onto crackers, crisps, and even cheeses. It comes after fans of the condiment were left devastated when it's manufacturer Unilever, revealed that it was discontinuing a fan favoruite combination spread of Marmite and peanut butter. Fans were first introduced to the combination spread in 2019 by Unilever, the consumer goods company which produces the nation's most divisive spread. Upon its release five years ago, Unilever said it had been 'carefully crafted by the clever boffins in our Marmite lab to appeal to both Marmite fans and peanut butter lovers'. A spokesman for the manufacturer confessed that the combination product would be leaving British supermarkets after several had taken to X to complain that they were struggling to get hold of it. One said: 'Not a single supermarket that I have been to in Kent has it,' while another moaned they'd searched the aisles of Tesco and Sainsbury's only to find 'nothing'. According to The Grocer, the salty snack has been absent from supermarkets since 6 September. The fan favourite snack was 90 per cent peanut butter and 10 per cent Marmite, according the the manufacturers. But a spokesperson at the time affirmed fans of the spread that it was working on a number of exciting new products. She said: 'Whilst we will no longer be making Marmite peanut butter, we are working on some new and exciting launches within our licensing range to bring our iconic Marmite flavour to shoppers in new ways and formats.' After realising the Marmite hybrid spread had gone for good, frustrated fans took to X to share their devastation. One wrote: 'So Unilever has confirmed that Marmite peanut butter has gone. This justification is typical of corporate-ese. This justification is typical of corporate-ese. "We're giving you other things to eat". Listen. I don't want other things. I want Marmite Peanut Butter. Boycotting from now on.'

Shoppers go wild over new Walkers snack spotted on supermarket shelves based on beloved crisps
Scroll to see the bizarre new product CHEESEY DOES IT CHEESEY DOES IT Shoppers go wild over new Walkers snack spotted on supermarket shelves based on beloved crisps WALKERS fans are divided over a bold new twist on a British classic - Wotsits have been turned into a full-blown meal. The cheesy baked corn snack, a staple under the Walkers brand since 2002, has been given a surprising revamp. 4 A shopper spotted Wotsits Mac 'n' Cheese bowls in Tesco in a variety of flavours Credit: Food Finds UK Official 4 The shopper spotted a 'Sweet & Spicy' Mac 'n' Cheese bowl Credit: Food Finds UK Official 4 The shopper also spotted a 'Flamin Hot' Mac 'n' Cheese bowl Credit: Food Finds UK Official One savvy shopper took to the Facebook group Food Finds UK Official to share their bizarre find - Wotsits mac 'n' cheese bowls. The user wrote: "New Wotsits Mac 'n' cheese bowls spotted in Tesco!" They went on to list the flavours: "Sweet & Spicy, Flamin Hot, Really Cheesy." In response, one user commented: "Looks like pure poison." Other users took offence at the price, commenting: "£4 seems a bit much" and "These should be no more then £2". It comes as Walkers' Ketchup-flavoured crisps have returned to shelves after being axed. Tomato Ketchup crisps, which have been absent from supermarkets for the last two years, made their official return on March 17. But eagle-eyed fans had already spotted six-packs at Iceland days before. These were also accompanied by multi-packs of the Worcester Sauce flavoured crisps - which were originally brought back exclusively to a single store in Worcester. However, after a surge in demand, the company admitted it had made a mistake - and has since rolled out the snack nationwide. Walkers has a history of discontinuing certain flavours - and then bringing them back at a later point. Last year, it announced the return of another fan favourite flavour: BBQ Sauce. The popular variety, launched in the 1990s, had been discontinued before making its comeback in 2024. Walkers has also released some experimental flavours including Tomato Ketchup and Cheese Toastie with Heinz Beans. In 2018, Walkers celebrated its 70th anniversary with the launch of six limited-edition "flavours of the decades". These included Coronation Chicken, Roast Lamb & Mint, Cheese Fondue and BBQ Rib. 4 Walkers' Ketchup-flavoured crisps have recently returned to shelves along with Worcester Sauce crisps
