Aldi shoppers praise return of nostalgic 90s dinner time favourite

One savvy Aldi shopper noticed that the bargain giant has begun selling a classic dinnertime favourite, and was quick to share the news online. The bargain retailer now sells frozen turkey dinosaurs, with packaging promoting the upcoming film Jurassic World Dominion.

The "new" £1.59 product includes nine turkey pieces shaped to look like recognisable dinosaurs such as the Tyrannosaurus rex, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops. People who grew up in the 1990s will notice an immediate similarity to the childhood dinnertime staple dinosaur chicken nuggets.

The customer who noticed the food product was quick to post on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, writing: "Turkey Jurassic World dinosaurs in Aldi £1.59". Before long, the post had racked up over 1,700 likes and an astonishing 5,700 comments from fellow consumers.

A third revealed: "My son likes them and didn't even know they was different to the more expensive ones".

"They were a hit last night with my little one! Who is extremely fussy," stated a fourth.

"My kids LOVE these," a fifth echoed.

A sixth simply wrote: "These are really nice".

One nostalgic shopper meanwhile said: "I used to love these were my favourite".

"They look Roarsome," another joked.

However, not everyone in the group was a fan of the turkey product, with some consumers who purchased the item sharing their dissatisfaction.

One revealed: "These taste horrible my children refused to eat them. I tried one and realised why".

"They are alright my boy doesn't really know the difference lol," a second indifferent shopper shared.

"Taste like school diners lol," said a third.
