A customer of discount supermarket chain Aldi had quite the surprise when he opened a packet of crisps.
折扣连锁超市阿尔迪的一位顾客打开一个薯片包装时惊呆了。

Richard Bootman, 25, ripped open a packet of Snackrite steak and onion crisps only to find a whole potato – and nothing else – inside.
25岁的里奇•布特曼撕开一包Snackrite牌牛排洋葱味薯片,结果发现里面只装了一个完整的土豆。

Speaking with BT.com, the architectural designer from Mildenhall, Suffolk explained: “I picked it up and it was airtight so I didn’t question it. At first I thought it was a ball of soggy crisps. When I realised what it was, everyone in the office laughed.”
布特曼是建筑设计师,来自萨福克的米尔登霍尔,他说:“我拿起薯片,里面冲的气鼓鼓的,所以我就没多想。起先,我还以为是薯片受潮了。等我看到里面的东西,办公室的人都哈哈大笑。”

布特曼说道,“我们简直不敢相信。我可能还会再买到这样的薯片——我不怎么在意薯片品牌。但是下次我打开之前,我会摸一下包装。”
