I accidentally named my kids after VERY awkward Aldi products… it’s fine, I’ll just buy some for them when they’re older
A MUM-OF-TWO has shared how she recently discovered that she’d accidentally called both of her kids after Aldi products.
The woman realised the big coincidence when she was in the store doing her shopping and spotted the non-child friendly products sitting side-by-side on the shelf.
A social media user shared the hilarious story on her social media account, telling her followers she couldn’t believe what she had seen.
Alongside a photo of her two young sons, she wrote: “@Aldi these are our boys Harrison and Greyson.”
She then posted another snap – this time of two gin bottles with labels that had their exact names – spelling and all.
She continued: “Your alcohol aisle definitely wasn’t the inspiration…certainly could have been the cause though.”

But showing she had a good sense of humour about it, the mum said she would even make a nod to it in years to come.
She added: “Spotted these while shopping last week, definitely going to have to get them a bottle each for their 18th bday’s!”
As her followers liked the tweet, others commented that they’d found themselves in a similar situation.
A lady called Katy wrote: “Nice – I managed my full (maiden name) with a bottle of Katy cider and some Greenal’s gin.”

One of their followers then joked: “It’s true, we all do it. Anyway, I need to pop off Twitter and put Specialbuy down for a nap.”
