Kmart's viral $6 item divides shoppers: 'Disappointed'
The item has been flying off the shelves however customers have described it as 'underwhelming'.
A Kmart shopper has revealed her disappointment after finally getting her hands on a $6 item flying off the discount department store's shelves.
The woman shared a clip on TikTok account @karaaaashley showing off jars of strawberry-flavoured crispy marshmallows in a Kmart store, which went viral on the social media platform last year.
Nabbing a jar for herself, the shopper said she had been waiting "literally four months" to try them.
"When they went viral I went to every single possible Kmart I could go to and I couldn't get them," she said in her video.
"And now is the moment where I'm trying them for the very first time.
"Oh my Lord, they smell like fairy floss ... this has been a long time coming, I've never waited this long to try food."
The shopper then popped one of the marshmallows in her mouth and pulled an uncertain expression as she munched away before letting out a hesitant giggle.
"OK I've never tasted anything like this before," the disappointed shopper said.
"Hmmm, OK ... underwhelming."

"They weren’t as great as I thought they would be with how everyone hyped them up. Give them a 3 out of 10," another said.
"I have had them they aren’t that good I’m not a huge fan!!" a third added.
Others however were disappointed they had not yet been able to try them, while the Kmart shopper added an update saying she had been snacking on the treat for six hours and couldn't stop.
