Lidl shoppers accuse the supermarket of 'losing the plot' over new product

Lidl's new ice cream flavour has divided shoppers with some claiming the supermarket has "gone too far."

The affordable supermarket has made a name for itself with their popular products, particularly in the middle aisle and their Super Buys.

Many shoppers take to social media to show off their finds, from Little Moon-like Mochi ice cream to garden furniture.

Now, Lidl's new item has got shoppers talking again.

The £1.99 ice cream went viral over the weekend as shoppers were split - some are curious to try it, others branding it as an "abomination", The Echo reports.

Facebook page NewfoodsUK shared a photo of Lidl’s new Wasabi Flavour Ice Cream and it quickly attracted hundreds of shoppers, who have been quick to share their opinions on the ice cream.

Among the comments, some users claimed they would “give it a go” while others said the ice cream is an “abomination”.

One person wrote: “I’ve actually tried this it’s really tasty!” and a second said: “This would go nice with the crisps!”

A third added: “Really good palate cleanser or between courses. Especially Japanese food”.

A fourth said: “I think I want to try lol”.

One person wrote: “Bet it's minging haha” and another said: “Seen the other day it’ll be rank”.

A third said: “They've lost the plot".

A fourth wrote: “Its an abomination” and a fifth said: “You're too late for April Fools!”.

A sixth tagged a friend and said: “I love wasabi as you know but that has gone too far”.

The Vitasia Wasabi Flavour Ice Cream is available at Lidl now for £1.99.
