‘A tissue for a giant!’: ALDI customers can’t believe what they found

Sometimes, even the most ordinary household items can surprise you in the most unexpected ways.

What should have been a simple, everyday task turned into a baffling experience for one shopper—sparking both amusement and frustration online.

What she discovered inside an ALDI tissue box had social media users divided, with some finding humour in the unusual mishap while others questioned the store’s quality control.


One shopper’s surprising find inside an ALDI tissue box left social media users both amused and frustrated.

The Sydney woman shared her discovery online, posting a photo of what she expected to be a standard box of tissues—only to realise she had pulled out one enormous sheet instead.

‘I thought this might give some of you a laugh,’ she wrote.

‘I was wondering why it was so hard to get a tissue out!’

The image showed a single oversized tissue emerging from the box, rather than the usual neatly folded stack.

Social media users were quick to react, with many cracking jokes about the unusual packaging mishap.

‘A tissue for a giant!’ one person wrote.

‘Elephant tissues,’ another joked.

‘Toilet paper in disguise,’ someone else added.

Another user quipped: ‘Are you sure they aren’t from Ikea? DIY, cut your own tissues lol.’


While some saw the funny side, others pointed out that the error could actually be useful.

‘Would be handy if you had a runny nose!’ one person said.

‘Ultra long for extra runny noses,’ another commented.

One parent chimed in: ‘Dream come true for a mum of a toddler with the dreaded green kindy boggers!’

‘My daughter would use this much for one blow,’ another joked.


Not everyone was amused, with some customers expressing frustration over the apparent quality control issue.

‘Yes that pisses me off with ALDI…I also have had so many boxes of ALDI cheap tissues exactly like this, what happened to factory quality control,’ one person wrote.

‘Oh yeah it happened to us a year or two ago. It was frustrating. Not just 1 box…’ another added.

While the mix-up provided a laugh for some, others were left questioning whether ALDI’s tissues were worth the gamble.


In a previous story, ALDI shoppers were left frustrated after discovering a product that couldn’t even perform its basic function.

Customers didn’t hold back, sharing their disappointment over what they saw as a major design flaw.
