Cocaine accidently delivered to Aldi supermarkets - again

A large shipment of cocaine was accidently sent to Aldi supermarkets in Germany from Colombia.
More than £11m worth of the drug turned up in boxes of bananas delivered to 13 stores in Berlin.
According to the police it was a "logistical mistake" after arriving at the port of Hamburg, but this isn't even the first time.
It seems exactly the same error was made back in January when £5m of cocaine turned up in the same place.

Lots of weird generic sorts of products.

If they'd actually offered German brands, I'd probably have added it to the places I shop. I generally have to hit a Dorothy Lane or Jungle Jim's when I run out of Hela curry sauce (ketchup equivalent).
