Between Christmas and New Year's Eve, many citizens stock up on fireworks for the night of nights.
However, a product at Aldi raises questions on Twitter.
Munich – firecracker alarm in Germany!
After two turns of the year under Corona conditions, the hour of fireworks fans will strike again for the first time on this New Year's Eve.
They have to stock up accordingly beforehand and are rarely squeamish about their own money.
The supermarkets and discounters, who are expanding their range accordingly for a short time, also know this.
Rockets, firecrackers, batteries, firecrackers - everything can be bought between the usual groceries and everyday products.
Fireworks at Aldi: Batteries cause question marks because of their name Van Gogh
The providers advertise diligently on the Internet and in brochures before Christmas.
After all, it's also about catching the attention of the eager fireworkers.
Aldi has at least succeeded with one potential customer.
Thanks to the name of a New Year's product.
This is advertised as Van Gogh - that's what it says on the box.
What is meant by this?
An 83-shot multi-effect battery including silver tail comet climbs combined with silver whistles, crackling comets and star bouquets.
The burning time is given as 45 seconds, the effect height is 50 meters.
That makes many a heart beat faster.

Fireworks for the Bundeswehr?

Perhaps also from the user who circulated the extract from the prospectus on Twitter and, alluding to the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, asked: “Are you missing an ear afterwards or why is it called that?” Explanation: The artist lived in the second half of the 19th century Shortly before his death, van Gogh cut off a large part of his left ear for reasons that have never been fully clarified – an act that also made headlines far beyond the art world.

Of course, the request was not meant to be taken seriously.
Otherwise, Van Gogh is likely to be a slow seller - quite different from his works.
In any case, another user took the template as an opportunity to give the obviously miserably equipped Bundeswehr a broadside.
Looking at the price, he commented, "83 shots for 6.99.
Wouldn't that be something for the Bundeswehr?" Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD) would probably first have to see what the Bundeswehr budget still has to offer.

Lidl customers can reserve New Year's fireworks - but there's a catch.
In a supermarket in Gladbeck, there was a sudden bang on a shelf.
The fireworks from "Bad Bayersoien in Flammen" were criticized as "unbearable".
