An eagle-eyed shopper has shared a packaging fail after he spotted an awkward detail on hamburger buns from Aldi.
The man, believed to be from the US, was doing his grocery shop when he noticed eight buns sitting on the shelf without its packaging.
Upon a closer inspection, he realised one of the bread rolls featured the use-by date ‘Oct 07 2021’ after it was accidentally printed on top.

‘While at Aldi today, I saw these hamburger buns that were missing their bag… but the expiration date was stamped right on the buns,’ the shopper said on Reddit.
‘I touched them… they were brittle.’
More than 600 people responded to the thread, with some joking it’s an ‘environmentally-friendly packaging’.
While many were surprised no employee spotted the error before it hit the store.
‘The amount of steps of “not my job” these buns went through to be neatly stacked along side their comrades is insane,’ one wrote.
Another added: ‘I like that the person who put it there said “f**k it nothing wrong here”‘, while one said: ‘Dude who stacked the shelves had zero f***s to give.’

One Aldi manager responded to the thread, claiming the printing error was a ‘pretty common issue’.
‘As I understand it, the Aldi warehouses have bakeries in them that handle the breads and such, so it was processed there and whatever automated process they have to label them doesn’t care if it’s a bag or a bun it’s getting labelled,’ the worker claimed.
‘Though I’ve seen this a few dozen times and a funny one. Happens mostly to hamburger and hot dog buns, but we’ve had it happen to entire loaves of bread.’
Some workers agreed with him, with one saying: ‘I work for a bread company… and it happens a lot.’
