Man finds rude-shaped pear in his Aldi shopping

A shocked dad found a huge pear shaped like a penis in a bag of fruit from Aldi. Johnny O’Connell, 43, burst out laughing when he discovered the 7in whopper while unpacking his groceries.

He was stunned how “realistic” it was – and says his wife’s pals are putting Aldi pears on their shopping lists. The dad-of-two got the big surprise when he opened the £1.49 bag of Conference pears at home on Wednesday night.

Johnny, of Morpeth, Northumberland, said: “I'd nipped to buy a few things and brought them home and was unpacking them when I fancied a snack. My wife's been on at me about losing a few pounds so I ripped the bag of pears open and out tumbled this willy shaped pear.

"My eyes almost popped out, my missus just started laughing. I told her there's no way I'm eating that. As a laugh I posted pictures of it on my social media and my mates thought it was hilarious.

"I've had loads of comments, including some very rude ones, but I like to think I've given people something to smile about. I certainly won't be looking at pears in the same way again."

The labourer is now keen to find other “naughty” fruit and veg while shopping. He added: “It’s certaintly brightened up going on the weekly shop.

“As well doing the old squeeze test, I’ll be checking if it looks rude and if so, then it’s going in the basket. I used to be a big fan of That's Life in the 80s when they'd show rude vegetables and I'd like to find as many naughty fruit and veg as I can."
