Woman finds bags of Hula Hoops in Aldi's own brand multipack

Some people can’t tell the difference between supermarket own products and their branded rivals - and there could be a good reason why.

One woman has shared a picture of what she claims to have discovered after opening a multi-pack of Snackrite ready salted hoops.

Charly Arnold bought the pack from an Aldi in Chichester and said she noticed two of the bags didn’t say ‘Snackrite’ at all - they said ‘Hula Hoop’, according to the Mirror .

She posted a picture of the bag online and wrote: "Just took two bags of 'proper' Hula Hoops out of the Aldi Snackrite multipack.

"Just goes to show how people are only paying for a brand name with most things!"

Her Facebook post attracted likes from hundreds of people, and some shared their theories on the mix up.

Gillian Edwards wrote: "I worked in a factory for 15 years and the things I produced were of the same line but different code."

Alison Pelling said she thought the two crisp brands tasted the same to her.

"Just literally eaten a pack of Aldi ones and me and hubby both said no difference from proper ones, now we know why," she explained.

In fact it's not the first time Hula Hoops have been found in an Aldi own brand pack. Back in 2017 shopper Graeme Clapp and his wife Sarah found 10 bags of Hula Hoops inside their SnackRite multipack from the budget retailer.
