When the copy is better than the original brand name

[Tennentslager]

Favoured by kids and red wine drinkers everywhere are the newest cute potato powder snacks Pombears or even Pom-Bear!

However as in the

Makita v Workzone or

Bosch v Titan tool stakes

we have a new entrant to the salty snack monopoly dominated by KP foods...

Arise Teddy Faces from Teutonic discounters ALDIIn a cunningly different but well *similar* pack, the Snackrite design team won’t fool the kids but....

 

taste test results are in!

 

and

 

the cheapos are better in every way

 

but does how does one construct a taste test challenge when the fuckers are different shapes...and

 

you should not waste pricy Rioja on small people as it’s bad economics 

And might be illegal (not in Scotland where you can give wine to 7 year olds) in some countries in the UK.

in this unscientific trial the winner is the big bear faces...well done ALDI!

Their own version of pringles are pretty good, too. And hubby swears that their Belgian chocolate mousse pots are the best he has tasted outside France.

Ich liebe dich, Aldi!

We regularly buy the look alike Rich Tea biscuits from Lidl for a fraction the price of the "real thing"  They dunk just as well,

Aldi do a great range of Marlborough region Sauvignon Blanc - and their cheapo mozzarella is not bad either
