Still Waters Posted March 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2015 A customer of discount supermarket chain Aldi had quite the surprise when he opened a packet of crisps. Richard Bootman, 25, ripped open a packet of Snackrite steak and onion crisps only to find a whole potato - and nothing else - inside. http://www.telegraph...-of-crisps.html DIY crisps! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Border Collie Posted March 26, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Probably the only bag of potato crisps ever, to have a real potato in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted March 26, 2015 #15 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Richard Bootman, 25, ripped open a packet of Snackrite steak and onion crisps only to find a whole potato - and nothing else - inside. Given the name of the product on the bad, they should have added a bit of steak and an onion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theotherguy Posted March 26, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 26, 2015 What do you do with the potato? It doesn't have any real resale value. You can either eat it, plant it, or auction it off, but that's about it. Actually, if you plant it, you can probably get whatever propietary cultivar Snackrite uses. Unless it's not propietary.

She-ra Posted March 26, 2015 #19 Share Posted March 26, 2015 We just had an ALDI food store open in this area and I've been wary of shopping there. All the advert's boast the LOW LOW prices...like WAY below any other grocery chain around here. I've always wondered how they could price their items so low. I guess this is why Too funny. Thanks for that Still Waters!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeder Posted March 26, 2015 #25 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) I cant really believe the story. I mean a bag of crisps, half filled with air, and a potato in a bag, feel so totally different . Edited March 26, 2015 by seeder 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
