SYDNEY, Australia (WPVI) -- The common phrase "holy guacamole" is incredibly appropriate for this.



Stores in Australia are now selling avocados coined "Avo-Zilla."



Customers are in awe of the large avocados.



They are sold in Sydney, and are five times the size of a "normal" avocado.



Its weight is almost three pounds, and it can cost you up to $16 just for one.



Store employees say this isn't the first time it's been featured in stores, but it still catches shoppers off guard.



It also has a different flavor than what we're used to.



"It's got a creamy flavor, with a nutty taste at the end. Wonderful that we have them for a short season, only for about, I would say probably about a month," says one store employee.
