A Dortmund Aldi branch wants to get rid of its chocolate Santa Clauses.
Nobody paid any attention to the packaging of the candy, and it causes a lot of displeasure.
Dortmund - Christmas is over, and with it the time of the chocolate Santa Clauses.
Supermarkets like Aldi, Edeka, Rewe and Co. want to bring their remaining stock to the customer.
In a Dortmund Aldi, this plan probably backfired.
The food discounter not only has neutral chocolate Santa Clauses, wrapped in simple red or gold foil, but also specially printed fan variations in its range.
This special print probably gets the blood of Dortmund football fans pumping.
Aldi: "You can also make yourself unpopular with violence"
A Twitter user found the boxes with the special Santa Clauses in an Aldi branch in Dortmund and posted a photo of his discovery. The big mistake of the Aldi employees: The said Santa Clauses are especially for football fans. A red version with FC Bayern imprint, and as if that weren't enough, there is also a blue version with FC Schalke 04 optics on the shelf. The Twitter user, who according to his profile is a BVB fan, writes angrily under the photo: “Unbelievable ... And that in Dortmund. Well, dear Aldi, you can also make yourself unpopular by force. "
There has been a rivalry between the two football clubs BVB and S04 that has lasted for decades.
No wonder: the two stadiums are just under 30 kilometers apart.
Derbies between the teams have always been emotionally charged.
However, after Schalke was relegated from the first Bundesliga last season, there will be no Bundesliga derby at least this season.
Aldi: The fun ends with football
The followers who comment on the post also react with incomprehension.
One writes: "Everyone's going crazy now." When there is true fan love, all fun apparently stops - even around the actually so contemplative Christmas season.
Hopefully, the red and blue Santa Clauses may have found buyers despite their unloved looks.
