A customer of discount supermarket chain Aldi had quite the surprise when he opened a packet of crisps¹.

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, ripped² 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。”

Bootman posted images of the potato-filled packet on Twitter, and has ended up seeing his story reach the likes of Russia, India and Taiwan.

布特曼在推特上发了薯片包装里是土豆的照片，然后发现俄罗斯、印度、台湾都有网友跑来点赞。

“We couldn’t believe it. It is likely I will buy them again - brand doesn’t bother me with crisps. But I will feel up the pack before I open them," he said.

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。”

Aldi later apologised and offered Bootman a full refund³.

后来阿尔迪向布特曼道歉并给了他全额退款。
