Which Aldi though. There are 2 Aldi companies. For instance, the Netherlands is covered by Aldi Nord. But there's also Aldi Süd.
Edit: so, it's Aldi USA
It’s in the US, so it’s Aldi Süd. Aldi Nord owns Trader Joe’s in the US.
Can anyone see anywhere they say when it takes effect? They don't say it on the official announcement either.
Would love to see that list of items.
Haven't found any list, but here it is noted a few items and timing;
When do Aldi's summer savings start?
Aldi's price cuts began June 5 and will be valid through Labor Day.
The price cuts will likely save shoppers about $100 million – similar to the amount of money shoppers collectively saved with reductions last year and more than the $60 million shoppers saved in 2023. What are some products at Aldi that will be less expensive?
Clancy’s: Chili Lime Potato Chips - was $1.89, is now $1.79.
Friendly Farms: 2% Ultra-Filtered Milk – was $4.39, is now $3.89.
Millville: Protein Pancake Mix – was $3.79, is now $3.49.
Mama Cozzi’s: Mini Pizza Bagels – was $6.29, is now $5.99.
Summit: Popz Prebiotic Soda - was $1.59, is now $1.49.
It's funny those potato chips are mentioned in that article because I only tried them a couple weeks ago and I desperately want them again. 😁
The variations of people's taste fascinates me. Every time I've tried something that's chili lime flavored, it tasted so bad to me that I was paralyzed for a few seconds.
you would hate mexico, I dont even know where so much chili and lime comes from but everything is automatically with chili and lime. I got a tepache and normally here the corner stands just have regular ol tepache but when we visited mexico I got one and was kind of bummed it was filled with chili and lime and not as quenching
Maybe actual chili and lime would taste better to me than the shit they throw on chips and the like. Like how artificial banana tastes like the worst flavor ever created in the universe and an actual banana tastes ok. But yeah, I'm not really hyped up to taste what you're describing.
I'm with you. I love chilis and limes, but the artificial lime flavor on chili lime flavored snacks tastes like froot loops to me.
Fun fact: artificial banana flavor is based off of the Gros Michel banana, which was mostly wiped out due to disease. We eat Cavendish bananas these days, although there’s a new disease spreading because ( just like last time) it’s a monoculture
So it’s not that it’s artificial tasting, it’s that you’ve never had the real thing and are used to the bananas you’ve grown up eating. Which is normal! Just a weird bit of trivia.
It’s actually based off pears. It was developed in britain first and they have jargonelle pears that taste like that flavor. In the US those pears weren’t popular so they marketed it as banana flavor instead. The chemical is isoamyl acetate if you want to look into its history.
/jaw drops What the… Indeed! So both have a high level of isoamyl acetate. Does that mean that jargonelle pears smell/taste like bananas?!

Thanks! TIL!
I believe you but I still think there are chemists out there that have made their own approximation of banana flavor. Solid fun fact, thanks.
like artificial grape flavor, the true worst flavour ever created
I could get behind that
Me too, except it is the best. Further illustrating the variations in people’s taste.
Oh Aldi. I will miss you in northern Maine 😭
