'Hit the jackpot!' Aussie mum pokes fun at disappointing supermarket trend

If you've ever opened a bag of chips full of air, you'll need to see this to believe it.

Nowadays, it feels as though no matter how much you pay for a bag of chips or cookies, it will still be filled with 70 per cent air.

Yes, I get that the air is important to ensure that your food tastes better, and doesn't get to you crushed, but is that much really necessary?

One ALDI shopper seems to think not, after receiving an anomaly in her weekly shop.

“I hit the jackpot!”

An Aussie mum has taken to the ALDI Mums Facebook page to share her unusual find.

“Feel like I hit the jackpot,” she captioned the post.

In the images, you can see a packet of Hundreds and Thousands Teddy Tots filled to the absolute brim, weighing in at a whopping 75g on her scales at home.

“Nice one!”

Shoppers in the comments were ecstatic with the find.

“Nice one!!!” one commenter said.

“They got the whole box in one packet!” said another.

However, others noted that the weight must have come out of other bags, having received the opposite.

“I'll take 4 packets I'm missing please,” said one commenter.

“I've had heaps of empties before,” said another.

“Probably got all the ones that were missing from mine,” a third agreed.

More common than you think

It seems this shopper isn’t the only one to get lucky with an XL bag, with plenty of others taking to the comments to share their similar finds.

“I had one of those too,” said one commenter.

“So my chocolate ones this week have been overwhelmingly full too! Wonder if there is a broken machine. hit the teddy tot jackpot,” said another.

“I had one of these too,” a third agreed.

“Every now and then we get a bag that's over full as well. It's becoming a common thing, they're the ones I share with my little one!” another said.

“I got one too, the kids won't let me open it,” another mum joked.

Others shared their similar stories with other products.

“Does anyone buy the cheese and spinach triangle things that say "12" there is ALWAYS 13 or more in every packet! I would feel ripped off if I only got 12 now hahaha,” one commenter said.

“We had one like that with jumpies not that long ago. Think they are meant to be 18g and each of the 5 packs was 48g. Safe to say we were excited HAHAHHA” said another.
