Aldi shoppers are saying the same thing about M&S' new £4.50 product

A new M&S product has hit shelves, and it's got thousands of shoppers talking.

From Tuesday 12 May, Marks and Spencer will be selling foot long eclairs in its supermarkets - and shoppers are feeling GIDDY.

Posting on Facebook, the NewFoodsUK page previewed the eclair, writing: "New M&S Our Best Ever Eclair! This MONSTER of an Eclair is nearly 7 inches long and it’s so thiccccck! These have 50% extra cream than current M&S Eclairs!

"They are also filled with a rich ganache and topped with Belgian chocolate fondant! These beauty’s are in store from tomorrow![sic]"

Thousands of shoppers rushed to comment under the post - making the eclair an instant viral hit.

"You can't beat m&s eclairs think these will be on my list to try also," said one person.

Another joked: "Plenty of girth too by the looks."

"Omg these look delish - if only I wasn’t trying to lose weight," said somebody else.

A fourth shopper wrote: "Can these be on a subscription delivery?"

Others couldn't help but poke fun at M&S, given the recent social media beef surrounding Aldi and Cuthbert the Caterpillar.

"Cant wait for Aldi's version!" joked one.

Another said: "Aldi - "Our even better!" Eclair."

"I think cuthbert the caterpillar needs a friend. “Eric the best ever eclair," said somebody else.

The Best Ever Eclair hits M&S stores on May 12, and is priced at £4.50.
