Aldi shoppers taken aback after spotting 'rude' pasta shapes

Aldi, like most other major retailers, has released a number of special Christmas items in the run up to December 25.

But one unsuspecting customer couldn't believe her eyes when she spotted a "rude" shape among an otherwise innocent looking bag of pasta. And after the woman shared her findings on social media, many other shoppers said they'd noticed the same thing.

Taking to a Facebook group for Aldi fans, she shared a photo of the bag Cucina Tricolore Festive Pasta along with another of it upside down, zoomed in on a "candle" shaped piece of pasta.

She said: "Anyone else think this candle pasta in the Aldi festive pasta looks a bit off?". The post was quickly inundated with likes and comments.

One customer said: "I actually thought that too", while another said: "I thought this when I saw these the other day". A third said: "Are you sure you didn't get these from Ann Summers?"

A fourth added: "I thought that after my youngest put it in the trolley", and a fifth said: "We bought it today as our granddaughter wanted it and yes I smiled". Aldi was approached for comment but had not responded by the time of publication.
