Aldi has been on the receiving end of some sarcastic jokes after one shopper shared the size of their sandwich thin to a social media page recently.
The popular budget supermarket is regularly a hit with shoppers who want to cut back on their weekly shopping bills amidst the rising cost of living. However, one product looks to be taking the whole "cut back" metaphor a little too literally.
One shopper took to the Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook page to share how they purchased the supermarket's sandwich thins which were so thin you could see through them.
The bakery item usually retails at just 89p per packet of six and are pretty much exactly what they say on the tin, only this one looked like it had barely any bread at all.
The shopper captioned their snap: "Aldi's sandwich thins are pretty thin this week."
Naturally, many shoppers began to see the funny side of the barely there sandwich, which seemed to have more holes than bread, and even said that the supermarket's item definitely wasn't misleading.
"Aldis thins - does exactly what it says on the tin", joked one shopper.
"Least it’s not misleading", agreed the original poster.
Quite a few shoppers also began to take a stab at weight loss jokes, especially since the sandwich thins are popular amongst those who are trying to slim down.
"Wish I was that thin. Might ask aldi for the secret", joked one shopper.
"On the bright side less calories", said a second.
"One way in losing weight", said a third.
And, of course, there were also those who couldn't help but joke that the incredibly slim sandwich thin was the result of the recent 'shrinkflation' that has been occurring in supermarkets during the rising cost of living.
"Now that's what I call a cut back!", said one.
"Aldi’s thins after the inflation", joked another.
"Well this IS a recession", said another.
Luckily, despite purchasing a packet of barely there thins for her sandwiches, the original shopper did say that her 'wafer thin' sandwich "made her chuckle".
Well, one things for certain, at least we can still find the humour amidst the shrinking sizes in our supermarkets.
