Aldi shopper mortified by X-rated design on Peppa Pig ice lolly

An Aldi shopper was left mortified after opening up a Peppa Pig ice lolly he bought from Aldi.

He found himself in stitches when he spotted an awkward design flaw.

The shopper, named Simon Linney, recently purchased a box of six Peppa Pig ice cream lollies from an Aldi supermarket for £1.49.

However, when he got home and unwrapped one of them, he couldn't help but notice something naughty about the vanilla and strawberry flavoured sweet treat.

He says he thought the arm on the cartoon pig looked rather phallic.

Simon sent in an amusing snap of the lolly to The Mirror, adding: "Thought this might get a giggle.

"I bought these Peppa Pig ice creams from Aldi. Since when did Peppa have a high penis?!"

The frozen grocery product, which Aldi's website says is manufactured by Icefresh Foods Ltd in Slovenia, is meant to show the popular children's TV character's profile.

In the image on the box, the ice cream Peppa is smiling and the X-rated detail is in fact her arm, with three fingers on the end.

However, the fingers seem to have melted into one on Simon's lolly. Oops.
