Tesco shoppers in hysterics over bizarre £40 'party essential' item

As spooky season approaches, Halloween lovers up and down the country are scouring the high street for creepy decorations to fill up their homes.

But for people who are sick of skulls, crossbones and pumpkins, British supermarket chain Tesco is providing a bizarre alternative prop you can use which will certainly get people into the party spirit.

The British supermarket has caught the attention of eagle eyed party decoration shoppers after some spotted a rather unusual product in Tesco's 'party essentials' range on its marketplace platform.

Supermarket shoppers noticed that the retailer is selling life size cut outs of the American rapper, Pitbull for £38.99.

One shopper took to TikTok to share the unusual find, posting the product listing as she joked she was planning on forking our nearly £40 for the decoration.

The first picture read 'Honey, I'm off to Tesco' with the second joking, 'Wait, don't forget the 174cm cardboard cut out of Mr Worldwide' - a second stage name used by the rapper, 43. 

The party ornament comes as the real life height of the International Love star - 174cm or 5'7.

The product is listed on the Tesco Marketplace website as sold and sent by a third party retailer, Partyrama.

Shoppers also noticed that the 5'7 cutout is listed cryptically under 'party essentials' on Tesco's website.

For those keen to get their hands of their own life sized Pitbull, the nearly £40 price tag will not include shipping and shoppers will have to fork out an extra £5 for the ornament to arrive. It's unclear if it is also for sale instore. 

And the cutout isn't just restricted to home usage - a mini desktop version of the Fireball hitmaker is also included under the price.

According to the website's product description, the decorative piece is a 'high quality cutout' and even comes with a free mini desktop version.

The product description reads: 'This high quality cutout has fold out strut to the rear which means it's entirely self supporting. 

'It arrives in our own specially designed rigid packaging. Material: Photo-quality cardboard cutout. 

Approx size: Height: 174cm / 68.5 in Width: 56cm / 22 in Easy to assemble. Cutout comes with FREE mini desktop cutout. Please note that this is an unofficial product.'

The product doesn't currently have any reviews on Tesco but has drawn in hysterical comments from those who spotted it online.

Also included on Tesco's website is a life size cutout of the alterative British singer, Yungblud and 1975 singer, Matty Healy.

Both musicians arrive at their respective real heights of 185cm, 6ft and 178cm, 5'8 and are also on sale for £38.99.

In awe at the sale of the strange product, one commenter wrote: 'Wait, can I really get that at Tesco!'   

Another joked: 'Wonder what the substitution would be.' 

A third wrote: 'I love that he's a PARTY ESSENTIAL.' 

The retailer themselves even commented on the hilarious post. Quoting one of the America singer's popular tracks, the supermarket's social media team wrote: 'They don't call him Mr Worldwide for nuthin.'
