‘Taking shrink-flation to the next level’: ALDI mishap has shoppers in stitches
- Replies 0
Shopping for everyday items should be a straightforward experience, but every so often, something unusual catches shoppers off guard.
In one instance, what seemed like a simple trip to the store turned into a moment that has left everyone talking.
What happened next was an unexpected discovery that had shoppers questioning everything they thought they knew about their favourite snack aisle.
When you're shopping for groceries, the last thing you'd expect is to find an empty packet where there should be food.
But that’s exactly what happened to one Queensland mum, and her hilarious story has been shared widely.
Posting in the social media group ALDI Mums, she revealed her surprise: 'Packet was there but empty
'.
She had picked up a pack of sultanas from ALDI, only to find it completely empty.
'I always see posts similar but never happened to me until today lol,' she added, laughing at her misfortune.
Commenters couldn't help but crack jokes at her expense: 'Were they good?
' one asked.
Another quipped, 'Sorry I stole them to make my Christmas wine.'
'Must be the healthy version,' one person joked.
'Taking shrink-flation to the next level,' another one chimed in.
Some suggested even stranger explanations, with one commenter adding: 'Just remember 30g is an estimated weight range!
.’
Another one quipped: 'They are new invisible ones'.
It turns out, this empty packet scenario isn’t as rare as you'd think. Others shared their similar experiences.
‘I had garlic bread the other day. Cooked it. And it was just the bread no garlic inside,’ one person said.
Another recalled, 'Many years ago my Mum had a can of soft drink. Perfectly sealed but completely empty.’
One person even had an egg situation: 'I went to buy a dozen eggs from Cole’s, one of the eggs was completely empty, not cracked…
.'
And yet another remembered: 'I had once opened shortbread biscuits, and the first block was empty.'
