    I had to check the date of your post to make sure it wasn't an April fools.
    The room must have been full of blue sky thinkers when they came up with that product and name.

    Picture the scene; Lidl HQ.

    Recommend in Aldi
    Fruit & Veg (best quailty & price, so much cheaper that Tesco)
    Easter eggs/ chocolate bunnies
    Wine Red & white
    olives & Feta Cheese in Jar (my fav)
    Basil Salmon with Mustard & honey 150g
    Riodo'ro apple jouice concert 1 litre

    Don't like
    No baskets
    Rich Tea Biscutes (they are too sweet)
    Having to bring own bags (I always forget).
    Shortness of the baging area and the speed they scan my shopping though (i.e dont give you time to pack you shopping).

    I've got a great idea sir,why dont we use foreign words that describe the ingredients and then shorten them into a fancy name that no ones used before( with good reason).Trust me sir, just like garlic bread its the future.

    "Nice work damoderby. Any specifics on names?"
    "Well sir, what about espressovin? Or chardonlatte? Oh hang on a minute sir, what about CAPPUVINO!!!"

    "That's brilliant. Make it so."

    Lidl do great cleaning products. I really like the W5 dishwasher tablets that are like finish ultra but about £3 for 40 tablets.

    loving Expressovin.
    Do you pronounce the vin bit to rhyme with ban or bin.
    If its the former may i suggest an 20% markup.

    The idea is you chuck your shopping into the trolley and take it over to the packing area to sort it out, that way the rest of us don't get delayed by ditherers and lingerers ;)

    Lidl - Seriously recommend the creme fraiche - lovely and creamy like you get in France, not thin and watery like you get at the big chains unless you pay a fortune.
