Autumn is here and the trees are dropping their leaves.

What is now in many places in gardens, parks and on the streets, a supermarket now has on offer - and the campaign becomes a laugh.

  • A new season is dawning: in autumn the leaves of the trees turn brightly colored and then fall to the ground.

  • The colorful leaves are particularly popular with children for handicrafts, and in cities, disposing of them is often a burden.

  • A supermarket now had

    the

    sales idea: autumn leaves - at an exorbitant price.

Great Britain - The time has come:

Autumn

is here - and the trees are dropping their leaves again.

It is nice to see again and again when the

colorful autumn leaves

optically herald

the new

season

as soon as the days get a little cooler.

The children are now running through gardens, parks and streets and collecting the brightly colored leaves for

handicrafts

- and

they are also ideal

for

decorating

the apartment, style-conscious people have known that for a long time.

A

British supermarket chain

has now apparently

discovered

the advantages of the annual natural product as a

sales idea

for itself:

“Waitrose”

is currently

offering

small

autumn leaves packages

- and is now receiving a lot of ridicule and scorn.

Customers apparently want to pay money for cut flowers and firewood, but apparently not for what is currently lying on the ground anyway.

Supermarket chain “Waitrose” makes a fool of itself - leaves at exorbitant prices

Because the price that the

supermarket chain “Waitrose”

has remembered for the colorful autumn greeting is

proud

:

The foliage that is tried to market with flowery lines costs

six pounds

.

With the “Autumn Season Foliage” (German: “Seasonal Autumn Leaves”) one can “bring nature into your home” because the bouquet offered reflects the “colors of

autumn

”.

For some

customers of

the

British supermarket chain

, the sales idea is decidedly in pairs.

You should shell out the equivalent of

6.57 euros for a

pile of autumn leaves

?

And then the colorful leaves - this is what

“Waitrose” says

on the packaging - can only be kept for a maximum of five days?

Under #leavesforlaugh the comments

customer Sharon Hanley

the leaves bouquet quite ironic: "Hello

" Waitrose "

, applause that you try a handful of leaves for six pounds to sell your customers." A "autumnal Lacher" calls the action on

Twitter

more.

Hello @waitrose I applaud you for trying to sell customers a bunch of leaves for £ 6.

You are having an Autumnal laugh #leavesforlaughs pic.twitter.com/uXWIJCIasy

Another

customer

on

Twitter

is also amused

and makes the

Internet community

an unbeatable offer: “A bag with real leaves?

I can sell you a bag for 10 pence. ”A third

Twitter user

reacts to this

with a sharp guess:“ It looks like money is actually growing on trees. ”While some

Twitter users are

now harvesting leaves in their garden want to sell them, a customer asks herself whether

“Waitrose” is

just

making

a premature

April Fool's joke

.

The seasonal offer makes for laughs -

but it was by no means intended

as a joke by the

supermarket chain

.

A company spokesman told

Sun

,

UK

: “We have seen very strong demand for

autumn leaves

.

Our customers love

to mix

the leaves with their

seasonal flowers

to brighten up their homes. ”

So

next autumn“

Waitrose

”will probably have the

colorful leaves

“ on sale ”again.
