    It can't be as bad as the poor soul that mislaid this lot..

    Article

    Aldi supermarkets in Berlin had an unusual special offer this week. While customers perused the electric blankets, lightbulbs and frying pans on Monday, staff were surprised to discover about 140kg of cocaine hidden in just-delivered banana crates.

    The first drugs parcels – containing between 40kg and 60kg each of cocaine – were discovered shortly after 8am on Monday by staff at a market in the northern neighbourhood of Reinickendorf. During the morning similar discoveries were made at three other stores across the city and one in neighbouring Brandenburg.

    Pity it wasn't another well known supermarket chain.

    Tabloids would have had a great (T)escobar headline.

    It was meant to go in boxes of adult toys but a very short-sighted packer got the feel of it wrong.

    Had already snorted the first crate before they realised they weren't bananas.

    Aldi staff in Berlin were probably singing this the rest of the day.

    Typical, they get the good stuff in just after the €0.06 per bag of fruit and veg. deal ends.
