In an effort to compensate, each year ALDI has an America Day where they sell everything worthy of putting an American flag on the package. Things like pancake mix, jelly beans, donut makers, hot dogs, and 2-buck-chuck from California. Nevermind the fact that I don't know anyone in the US with a donut making appliance, or that hot dogs aren't normally packed in a jar. It's still nice to know that those little things we took for granted are again at our fingertips once each year.
Here is the flyer from ALDI showcasing all that makes America great. Particularly funny to me are the tubes of swirled condiments; you can choose between ketchup & mustard, or ketchup & mayo. Why didn't we think of that first?

This is a really interesting ad. Is this the same Aldi as in the "the stock up store?" Jars of hot dogs? I'm sure they're sold in the states somewhere. :) Probably at Walmart.
And i've been REALLY curious...have you seen any of these around?

Oh, you betcha. Real (pronounced Ray-all) is real. Andy's even been there a few times. We should try to get you a t-shirt or something...that would be awesome.
And yes, it's the same ALDI. But it's cooler over here, I think.
