Aldi shoppers rejoice at return of once-shunned frozen dinner time favourite

An Aldi supermarket shopper who noticed the turkey dinosaurs on sale for just £1.59 was quick to post on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group

Aldi supermarket shoppers have delighted after spotting the return of a once-shunned dinner time staple and childhood favourite.

After years of absence, turkey dinosaurs are back in stock – waiting to be eaten with a plate of chips and baked beans.

Aldi is selling nine-packs of turkey pieces shaped to look like recognisable dinosaurs such as the Tyrannosaurus rex, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops, at just £1.59 per packet.

Those who grew up in the 1990s will notice an immediate similarity to the childhood dinnertime staple dinosaur chicken nuggets, reports Glasgow Live.

A shopper 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.

One said: “They are amazing cook well in the air fryer”.

“They are lovely the kids love them I’ve tried them myself,” a second shared. 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,” a second indifferent shopper shared.

“Taste like school dinners,” said a third.

Were you a fan of turkey dinosaurs in the 90s and roaring to give’em a whirl?
