Yesterday it was naked Tim-Tams, and now THIS.
A man in the UK opened a packed of chips from Aldi for his morning snack.
Inside, he found a whole potato.

Classic Aldi. Some assembly required.
Richard Bootman, 25, opened the packet at his desk for his mid-morning snack.
“I picked it up and it was airtight so I didn’t question it. At first I thought it was a ball of soggy crisps. When I realised what it was, everyone in the office laughed. We couldn’t believe it.”
The chips were supposed to be steak and onion flavour. Unfortunately, a steak was not provided, nor an onion.
Bootman posted the images on Twitter and sent it to Aldi, who offered him a refund. They probably could have offered him a knife and a deep-fryer, but a new packet of chips was good enough for him.
Potato news: Hot chip vending machines. Yep.
“It is likely I will buy them again – brand doesn’t bother me with crisps. But I will feel up the pack before I open them.”
Best part? The packet said that the product contained “100 per cent British potatoes”.
It sure did, Aldi. It sure did.

I once had a packet of barbeque shapes that was just the flavouring, I kid you not, there was not a single biscuit in the packet.
Ooo the best bit! I once had a Crunchie that had no honeycomb, just a foaming weird detergenty bit in the middle eerrrr, gross.
I opened a large can of baked beans a couple of weeks ago and it was almost all sauce,
There were about beans in the bottom of the can. It was a generic brand.
Me too! A while ago I had a brand name tin of beans with about two beans in it. I rang the customer hotline number on the can and they sent me a cheque for twenty dollars.
