ALDI shoppers can't stop laughing at this label blunder

When shopping, we all see the occasional misprint on a label, which makes us scratch our heads.

Now and then, a blunder that's so delightful captures the hearts and funny bones of shoppers.

This time, it's ALDI's turn to serve up a slice of humour with a side of croissants, and the story is just too good not to share.


A New South Wales shopper shared a photo of the Bakers Life croissants sporting two strange labels: 'Display until 06/01/70' and 'Best before 07/01/70', sparking laughter and witty comments across social media.

A three-pack of croissants with a best-before date that ensures they'll outlast even the most durable pantry staples. We're talking about a best-before date of 2070!

ALDI has inadvertently promised customers a product that could see us through the era of flying cars and who knows what.

'I could eat them on my 100th birthday!' one exclaimed.

'No sense in rushing it then... let them mature!' another quipped.

'Don't you know that's what they mean by "Good Different"?' a third asked, referencing the retailer's motto.

The jokes kept rolling in, with one shopper musing if the croissants were a relic from the 1970s and another praising the longevity as 'good bang for your buck.'


This humorous incident highlights the lighter side of the cost-of-living crisis we're all navigating.

With prices rising and budgets squeezed, a lighthearted moment in the grocery aisles is a welcome change.

Also, let's face it—who wouldn't want their breakfast sorted for the next half-century, especially when the croissants are on sale for $1.99 from their original $2.49 price tag?

It's a reminder that mistakes can happen even in huge establishments, and sometimes they can be downright hilarious.


While we wait to hear back from ALDI for their comment on this amusing mishap, we can't help but appreciate the chuckles it has brought to shoppers.

It's a testament to the power of humour in bringing people together, even if it's just in the bread aisle of a supermarket.
