Some used the forum to share their experiences and suggestions for use.

“I did this several years ago with Soccer mum’s. So much fun,” one woman said.

“Every pub should give you one of these for your walk home,” added another.

A third said: “ALDI shoppers could wear them to their sales to prevent injuries!”

Irrespective of why and how the inflatables will be used, expect massive lines as the product will be available only while stocks last.

It wasn’t long ago Aldi lovers went crazy for the discount store’s $149 air fryer, and eagle-eyed cooks spotted an exciting detail that comes with the product.

Posting in Aldi Facebook groups, shoppers pointed out the appliance’s “amazing” extra trick.

“OMG!!! The Aldi Air Fryer also dehydrates no more wasting herbs,” one person wrote in the Aldi Mums Facebook group.

Others used the air fryer to dehydrate fruit, turning it into “great little healthy snack treat food”, one person commented.

“I cut thin pieces (about) 2-3mm! Then brushed lightly with lemon juice (bottle) to stop browning! Then did them at 70 degrees for 6 hours,” a commented explained.

It appears Aldi can do no wrong.
