Aldi bums Special K
A coincidence? I think not.
Aldi have been going up and up in my estimation recently, ad-wise. I might even pop in there from time to time if they deigned to give you basket to put your stuff in.
Still, almost as if to remind you that even the funny adverts are evil, here's the puzzling small print. See if you can make out what it means. They've not exactly made it easy.
