Shoppers outraged at "ridiculous" price of Home Bargains giant Toblerone

Home Bargains has revealed it is selling a giant bar of Toblerone, but customers are shocked at how much it will set you back.

The enormous chocolate bar, which weighs 4.5kg and is approximately 80cm long, costs £49.

The giant sweet treat is available online and in store, according to Home Bargains Facebook page , which joked: “We’re gonna need a bigger bag!”.

Despite enjoying the novelty, customers have been left outraged at the price.

One person said: “Who in their right mind would pay that amount for a chocolate bar, especially a cheap one like that.”

Another added: “You want your head looking at if you’re gonna spend £50 on chocolate”.

One customer even took the time to work out if the £49 bar is worth the price, he said: “If you buy the 150g bars at the pound shop for 1.5 kg (ten bars ) it’s £10. For 3kg (20 bars) it’s £20. For 4.5kg (30 bars) it’s £30 so your only really paying for the novelty of the item”.

One customer pointed out the amount of other Christmas gifts you’d be able to spend the cash on, while another asked if the retailer was joking,

Others added: “I really want one but I'm not quite at the level of madness required to spend £50 on a bar of chocolate” and “I'll rather just get my weekly shopping than waste £50 on this”.

However, many shoppers loved the idea of the enormous bar, tagging friends and requesting it as a Christmas present or suggesting it would be perfect for family members.

One person said: “Will definitely need a bigger Christmas stocking and might need to put Christmas dinner back an hour do I can finish it!”.

The giant Toblerone bar can be bought at Home Bargains online or in store for £49.
