They're quick! They're microwaves! They're wraps! ...Hang on, they're not microwaves. Fresh from Aldi, it's some stuff you can ram in a microwave and eat shortly after. Is it edible? Yes! Is it healthy? No! Is it tasty? Not really!
@@BillyBob-vi7fq they choose an abusive Mario???? WHO hits donkey Kong with a whip.....while his CHILD watches? That Mario??? (Watch mattpats theory you'll understand better lol)
there was a guy at my sixth form that literally ate these and only these for lunch every day for two whole years. He bought them in bulk and a whole shelf of the common room fridge was just filled to the brim with quicksters microwave wraps, he also once flipped his absolute shit because someone used the microwave before him and he said he had to go first because otherwise 'it would compromise the flavour of my wrap'
Ahh the famous insanely fast Aldi UK cashiers. The only people faster than a Formula 1 pit crew. Which makes me wish that Aldi will sponsor a team for F1, imagine how fast the pitstops would be!
Aldi is actually a German company. The stores are also spreading across the US as well. There are actually two Aldi companies. Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd operated by two brothers. Aldi Süd is known in the states as "Aldi". Aldi Nord is known in the states as "Trader Joe's". The more you know...
when i first found out about trader joe's i was surprised. anyway, there's one aldi close to me which i shop now and then, one a bit further, but it's bigger and has a few different things. good produce and the prices are reasonable. generally, though you've never heard of the brands, it's pretty decent quality. just take your own bags or use their boxes, it's like sam's club like that.
@@sweetdude1298 Two years ago, and probably in a different place of the world than you. Understand that RU-vid's algorithm and current ads change _constantly_, which is why you probably didn't see that ad.
Aldi exists in the U.S. too, I've driven past a few here and there. The only thing I really know about them is that they're one of the two and a half companies in the U.S. that isn't neurotic about employees "looking lazy" and will actually let cashiers sit down while doing their jobs for which being on their feet should not be required. Which every company should do, but like I say... Americans are neurotic about employees "looking lazy." - Lewis
Funniest thing is now in the UK people practically avoid having to go to a checkout with a person now. Most like myself prefer to go to the self scan and tap our phone/card to pay and leave.
@@CeePritch idk how aldi's specifically are in the UK but in the US those people have mastered the art form of scanning items... it's seriously a joy just to see how fast they go through 20 million items in half a femtosecond, not even sure any around me even have self checkout, neither of my regular ones do atleast and I can just imagine those lines judging from how slow people are at them in Walmart. But imo they more than make up for their "lazy" factor by working quadruple time... I seriously cant get over just how fast they are... I know it's a simple thing but still...
Unfortunately it's a part of retail life in the UK too. My current employer follows the American practice of cancelling holidays at 4hrs notice, getting you to work two shifts for free on your holiday and doesn't pay redundancies just hits employees with disciplinaries until they can legitimately fire them or fire for not being flexible enough. Such is retail life in the UK
Love Aldi. Decent food, great prices, free Krypton Factor session at the end when you try to pack the bags as they throw pineapples and melons at you. (My choice to only buy pineapples and melons, but still....).
@@150booyadragon that's because an old lady got really badly scalded by coffee that was being served ridiculously hot. She had 3rd degree burns all over her lap and her skin fused to her wheelchair. McDonald's dragged her name through the mud and made people think she was a moron.
I watched it while eating scrambled eggs and tuna, the tuna being a brand I hadn't tried until recently and is bizarrely bland for canned tuna... almost no taste whatsoever. So, fitting for this viewing.
I have some people try to encourage me to work for Aldi here in the US, but there is like only employee there at a time is seams, and that would drive me crazy
When you're eating it on a plane and realising it: The food is plastic! Terrorist voice: We were feeding you plastic wraps so you were distracted. The IED is ready. *Nokia Arabic Ringtone plays*
Personally, the sausage and bean quickster is my favourite. I've tried all 4, and they're definitely good if you're in a rush as I usually am, a good warm morning snack in all honesty. Love your review though Ashens, the first one where I've actually had something you've reviewed hahaha
@@bradleymchugh6952 I may not be a chief but I'm highly sensitive to a lot of foods, and processed, pre-packaged meals is a big one. It's just so much better for health and taste to put in a lil extra effort~
I visited an Aldi here in the United States for the first time a few weeks ago. It was also the first time I had ever seen a cashier sitting down, which is actually quite nice for them. I do wonder how long they'll last in this area (they had just recently showed up a few years ago in my neck of the desert and are very, very scattered), considering the insistence by most American shoppers that all employees are standing up at all times. I'll definitely be back. I didn't get much there as I just wanted to visit, but I got a chocolate bar and liked it enough to want another. This is amusing--the different kinds of these wraps are really American-inspired, with the chicken tikka wrap being the only one that isn't based on a staple American dish. What he described as "Sweet Chilli Chicken" sounds like an attempt at Thai sweet chili sauce, which I'm guessing is pretty poorly executed compared to the genuine thing. (None of these combinations are standard burrito fillings though.) By the way, some sandwiches ARE meant to be heated, then eaten cold. The pepperoni roll is one of them (by which I mean American pepperoni, the sausage). They're everywhere in West Virginia.
Overhazard I live in WV and we do this. Heat up the pepperoni roll to melt the cheese and disperse the flavor of it all, wait till it's cooled off, enjoy.
Huh, thanks for your insight, that was very nice to read, to get your perspective. Boy from Russia here. Is spying on tge employees, checking if they are standing at all times, American thing too?
This is either food you eat when you are working and have no other choice or it's that amazing food you eat when you get home drunk after a night out it the morning after when you are very hungover 😂
The wallpaper my nan had in the 70s had loads of flavor, assuming you count arsenic and lead as flavor, prolly had a bit of asbestos in there for too good measure.
Chicago Town pizzas used to have a little cardboard tray made of this stuff that you folded in to make a little pizza plinth. Now all you get is a sad disc of stuff (and that's just the pizza *rimshot*)
I can eat the tikka and the sweet chili ones cold without much issue. I don't know whether I truly enjoy them, or am just passing the time, but it is what it is and it fills a hole.
Declare Kansas a country and join tomorrow! Personally, I'd be cautious. Damn Germans sneaking their sausages into eyetalian meatballs. Very suspicious!
Well aldi is everywhere here in Ireland they are in at least a 30 mins of a household bye car and are just good at selling cheap food at good quality most of the time hints the world wide business
Aldi is also in the US. They're known as essentially the only grocer who actually lets their employees rest and pays them well. Also, the food's pretty good.
You know what really grinds my gears about this sort of food? The fact that you can do better, almost as quickly. Have a sausage dinner one night, fry all the sausages off, save some for the next day. Cut them up, throw them in the beans, cook beans and put them in the wrap. You will IMMEDIATELY have a better meal than the bean and sausage wrap. It's not even more expensive overall as the sausages are basically leftovers, the beans can be too! It's wild.
Here in Brentford we don't have smashed avocado.We have small bags with a dogshit in them,found hanging from trees or bushes.They are known locally as 'Polish breakfasts'.
We have ALDI in the US too generally they are pretty good... their store brands are actually usually quite acceptable especially their strudel and chocolate
FuzzyWuzzy lol I thought the point of eating from Whole Foods was so you could act rich and immediately go bankrupt because you bought an organic cabbage.
Ishan M i dont know where you live but in the off chance you live in New Jersey there is an Aldis in West Long Branch on highway 36 near Shore Regional High School, on the most likely chance that you dont live in new jersey well now you know where an Aldis is in New Jersey lmao, where i live now in North Carolina they dont even know what it is, im glad they dont lol, although they worship walmarts superstores
I work at a ShopRite (a supermarket chain in the northeast USA) that's up the road from one. Well, I say up the road, but it's all on a highway, so there's that. You'd be surprised how many ShopRite carts find there way to the Aldis' lot. Makes decent psuedo seats to wait for the bus with.
Most industrial chicken tikka things have that look to them, including Greggs', especially under blue tinged filming lights. They're not really meant for close examination, just shove it in your face with your eyes shut.
aldis is in the us as well honestly its great if youre shopping for a family on a budget. i find its often cheaper than walmart and most other grocery stores
Generic Username it's much cheaper. I have 6 kids all under 9 and can get the same amount of groceries at aldis for 200 as Walmart or elsewhere would be 500.
That's where we put the line between a "discounter" and a "supermarket" in germany. Aldi is on the discounter side. Smaller assortment (usually the home brand and 1-2 named brands) but way cheaper prices. And it mostly is still brand stuff, just without the label.
HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul compared to the stuff in the US Aldi stuff is like a whole foods. All the stuff here is packed with chemicals to make it cheaper but Aldis stuff isn't. Plus they have doppelkeks and I cant get enough of those things.
In Northern Virginia we even have Lidls popping up now. My city has both a Lidl and Aldi and with Kinder Joy and 7days products popping up in 7-11s we have much better access to European brands these days.
From Denmark, right above Them! Would go to the border and get cheap things, but I cannot drive, and my passport ran out. How Sad! Also! I am writing in a strange way. Send help, I cannot Stop! Must be tired, i guess.
Funnily enough, when he cut into that final wrap, i was thinking "that looks exactly like someone's smeared the inside of the wrap with some Sharwood's sweet and sour sauce and then thrown half a handful of cubed chicken at it". I don't know why Sharwood's exactly, other than that's what my mum used to buy. Should really be Aldi own brand, if it's the same colour anyway. The appearance was pretty much dead on for that... Far too orange, too much veg and not enough sesame seeds for typical sweet chili sauce. As for the tikka, its probably actually korma. Or Generic Tinned Curry, which tends to run a bit sweet. The mind boggles at how you can manage to make sausage and bean with no flavour. I've actually had damn near tasteless meatballs and allegedly tomato sauce before, but sausage and bean can usually be relied on to taste of SOMETHING. The price and storage life was a shocker too. I'd actively consider these if they were maybe 69p each and could be kept in the freezer (though I'm sure I've seen ambient storable microwaveable wraps before), as they'd still only need about five minutes to cook. A pound, and live in the fridge for just a week? I'll pass. Be rather more likely to buy their basic ramen-type noodles, even though those are no longer the absolute cheapest option for something you can pretend is a meal (asda undercut them some time ago, and you're much better off buying the own brand beans instead in both cases). I wonder if we can estimate how much of the price is labour and/or markup? Get a couple packs of their plain tortillas, a tin of basic beans and a pack of lowest grade sausages (or whatever ingredients are needed for the others if you'd prefer to do that), and make up as many as you can with the same fill level of these. Add up the price of the filling and however much the wraps you actually used would be, and divide by the number you made... Bet it won't be more than 25p apiece.
Ironically I was thinking about how to me the picture on the front of the wrap box looked like it had sawdust in the middle. Over in recommended videos I see a video for "Dedicated table saw dust collector". lol
everything about the box art, from the fonts, colors and even the little flame graphic, all look like they should be on something you buy to repair your car with. which is a great association to have with food too, of course.
Yep, we have Aldi here in the USA also. Mainly a discount supermarket chain. It does away with many of the bells and whistles that most of our chains here adhere to in order to keep prices low. Not bad overall, IMO.
