I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area theyβve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record Iβm fine with
But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy
Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy
As a German, the place Aldi originally comes from, this is hilarious. But I also can't help but notice that based on the logo on his bags this is actually Aldi South, because yes there's TWO Aldis in this world. You don't even know. You don't even know the lore
