Nestle launches a giant Aero THREE times the size of a classic sharing bar
SHOPPERS are raving after Nestlé revealed their giant Aero which is a whopping three times larger than the size of a classic sharing bar.
Nestlé chocolate fans are rushing to their nearest Tesco to get their hands on the new Aero Peppermint block bar.
The huge 295g bar is available for £4.50 and is £1 cheaper for Clubcard customers.
The Aero Peppermint block is three times the size of Nestlé's sharing bar which holds 90g of chocolate and costs just £1.50.
Despite being £3 more expensive, the massive Peppermint block is a better deal, costing £1.52 per 100g.
For those who find the 295g bar too big, Nestlé offers a 145g ShAero bar for just £2 at Asda, Morrisons and Iceland.

Nestlé fans can buy the 295g Aero Peppermint block on Tesco's site or visit their nearest branch.
Last month, the iconic chocolate brand brought back a popular treat that was axed last year.
Nestlé confirmed in November it had discontinued Caramac after 60 years but has since reintroduced it to shelves.
Customers can pick up three varieties of the caramel-flavoured sweet snack: a classic Caramac single bar, a three-bar multipack and a sharing bag of buttons, with prices starting from around 75p.
Shoppers will have to be fast as the three varieties are only back at retailers including Iceland, B&M and Spar while current stocks last.
But despite Nestlé announcing Caramac would be back late last month, some shoppers are only just finding out it is back on shelves.
The Newfoodsuk Facebook page posted a picture of the buttons found in an Iceland branch yesterday - and hundreds of shoppers have liked or commented on the post saying they didn't know the chocs were on sale.
One shocked shopper said: "WHAT!!! What time do Iceland open."
A second rather bluntly put it: "Holy s**t."
And a third added: "Go go go go!!!"
Nestlé confirmed it had discontinued Caramac last November in a blow for shoppers.
RETRO PRODUCTS RETURNING
Tango confirmed last month its iconic Cherry flavour would be making a welcome return to supermarkets and retailers.
Shoppers were left heartbroken when the beverage disappeared back in 2018, with one even starting a Change.org petition to have it reinstated.
Anyone looking to pick up one of the returning drinks can find it in Iceland stores nationwide.
Meanwhile, Cadbury recently confirmed it had brought back a "yummy" 90s chocolate bar after giving it a makeover.
One of the nation's favourite chocolate brands announced it would relaunch its Top Deck bar across the UK.
Cadbury said the much-loved bar, which first launched in 1993, would only be returning to shelves for a limited time though.
Shoppers were going wild after a bar first launched in the 1970s made its way back on to shelves.
Nestlé relaunched a strawberry-flavoured Aero bar in April but some shoppers took a while to cotton on.
Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook Group last month, one said: "Had this in the 70s, glad it's back!"
Another added: "They were my fave as a kid... stock up cos they will disappear again soon!"

How to save money on chocolate
WE all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed on flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
