Aldi admits 'we can't defend this' as parents call out 'inappropriate' kids' Easter treat

Supermarket giant Aldi has been called out for stocking an 'inappropriate' kids' Easter treat in its supermarkets. The flaw was pointed out on social media, after one shopper was left shellshocked by the marshmallow snack.

With Easter on the horizon, Aldi has filled supermarket shelves with treats ready for the occasion. But one item in particular has got shoppers talking, after they pointed out it looks a lot ruder than intended.

Now Aldi have also got in on the joke. Its (supposedly) bunny shaped marshmallows have really got people talking.

The cheeky marshmallows first caught the attention of @missviaborsi, who took to Twitter to share their shock. "Sorry Aldi, but that ain't a Bunny," the shopper wrote. Understandably, the Tweet caused quite a stir, but it was Aldi's own response that skyrocketed the picture to fame.

The supermarket replied: "We can't even defend this one," and the Tweet gained thousands of likes as shoppers were delighted to see Aldi acknowledge blunder, says the Mirror.

As you might expect, the jokes rolled in thick and fast. "Randy Rabbits," one person replied. A second said: "It ain't a bunny, but it sure is funny."

Somebody else said: "Wtf were they thinking?" Another replied; "Easter hunt at the local primary school gonna be interesting in the next few weeks!!!"

Another Twitter user joked: "… gives 'happy easter' a very different meaning." "Ha ha what a cock-up," replied another shopper in disbelief. Meanwhile, Specsavers quipped: "Might be time to pop in."
