Father\u2019s Day<\/a> is fast approaching and many people will be snapping up last-minute gifts<\/a> for their dad or father figure.<\/p>\n

The supermarkets<\/a> have all the usual items on offer, from beer sets to best dad<\/a> mugs, but there\u2019s one product that\u2019s causing a bit of a stir with shoppers.<\/p>\n

Morrisons<\/a> has launched a limited-edition Toblerone bar <\/a>that weighs a whopping 4.5kg and is more than 12 times the size of the regular chocolate treat.<\/a><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not the size that has people raising their eyebrows, it\u2019s the price as the bar, which is bigger and heavier than a newborn baby, costs \u00a380 (\u00a360 with a Morrisons More Card<\/a>).<\/p>\n

A shot of the massive Toblerone was shared on social media in the Food Finds UK Official group where people were baffled as to why anyone would ever need that much chocolate.<\/p>\n

Teddy Lowki branded it \u2018senseless\u2019, writing: \u2018Question is, does anyone really need this chocolate bar? Parting with over \u00a350 for chocolate, I don\u2019t see the logic. Even if it was a Christmas promotion, it\u2019s just senseless.\u2019<\/p>\n

And Giulia Viglianisi said: \u2018They lost their minds\u2019 as Ranae Quinn posted: \u2018Not a chance, doubt anyone likes their dad that much.\u2019<\/p>\n

Diana Brown also wasn\u2019t keen, sharing: \u2018Love Morrisons, love Toblerone, but would never buy one that big and for that amount of money.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018No way would I pay that,\u2019 exclaimed Jenny Cornwell, as Ian Crist asked: \u2018How much?!!!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Ridiculous price for some chocolate,\u2019 agreed Paul Smith and Mark O\u2019Donohoe added: \u2018How do you justify this to yourself \u00a360 for a chocolate bar? That\u2019s a whole shop with other treats in that shop.\u2019<\/p>\n

Others asked if it was a \u2018joke\u2019 and wondered how on earth anyone would break into a chocolate bar that size.<\/p>\n

Not everyone was opposed to the product though with some being fans of it. Scott Bishop revealed he\u2019d had one last year, as Steve Clark posted: \u2018More reasons to shop at Morrisons.\u2019<\/p>\n

Kimberley Ackew admitted the chocolate bar was her \u2018dream\u2019, as Bex Brown claimed people were buying them, as they\u2019d all sold out in her local store.<\/p>\n

Katy Bailey was also a fan, sharing: \u2018My hubby bought me one a few years back, it took us months to eat, had to use a sharp knife to segment it, it was awesome.\u2019<\/p>\n

According to Morrisons, the Swiss milk chocolate bar is \u00a319.99 cheaper with a More Card than it is at alternative retailers such as Amazon, where it costs \u00a379.99. <\/p>\n
