Aldi clearance shelf: instant drink powder!! 🩷Pink Latte🩷

me: okay, notoriously hit-or-miss Aldi clearance shelf, I'll try it

(I pour the powder into the mug. it is clearly white) not looking good for the Aldi clearance shelf

(I add hot water. it somehow turns bright pink) okay, I retract my thoughts about the Aldi clearance shelf

(I taste it) I reinstate some of my thoughts about the Aldi clearance shelf.

@0xabad1dea finally, latte for girls
@0xabad1dea sounds like a rollercoaster of emotions :D

The Aldi Aisle of Shit remains undefeated.

@[email protected] okay, but I have to ask: Aldi clearance shelf or not, is there ever a situation where pink latte sounds like a good idea?

@0xabad1dea Aldi promised pink not tasty 🙃
@0xabad1dea truly the perfect encapsulation of the Aldi clearance shelf experience. (In the US, it's often called the Aisle of Shame.)
@rootwyrm @0xabad1dea I got my fidget cube from Aldi's clearance bin.
@0xabad1dea an epic for the ages. 😆
@0xabad1dea I love those clearance aisles. There is a chance that what you buy is crap, but you can also get some really good stuff, so it never gets boring. I still remember when I got some chipotle from the aisle (which is pretty hard to get here in Germany) and I made some really banging chili with it. Still thinking about that chili years later. 🤤
@0xabad1dea The last step is also interchangeable with (I liked it) And I’ll never see it again.
@1lowlyadmin oh yeah that’s definitely happened. They had great micro pizzas which fit in an air fryer… once.

@0xabad1dea @1lowlyadmin I know Aldi had those here, though I'm not sure if they still do – Lidl's are so much better.

What I really miss from Aldi are the chocolate brownie ice cream popsicles they had years ago…

@0xabad1dea That’s why you should go to Lidl. 😁👍
@0xabad1dea What did it taste like?
@catsalad like raspberries left overnight in a rain puddle
@0xabad1dea @catsalad I thought this was a quote from Blade Runner or something, before I read the context.
@0xabad1dea @catsalad all these flavours will be lost in time, like... Raspberries left overnight in a rain puddle.

@0xabad1dea @catsalad

that is both graphically clear and disgusting sounding... :)
