An Aldi Facebook group is buzzing over a cheeky item after one shopper spotted something risqué about the product. The item? A $19.99 kid's science kit that promises captivating chemistry.
The set had Aldi shoppers captivated and cracking jokes. They noticed a phallic-looking image on the front of the box. The picture shows colorful explosions from test tubes, as the kit includes instructions for an "erupting rainbow."
"I am not sure what 'chemistry' is going on here?? Made me chuckle today at my local Aldi," the original poster wrote.
X-rated jokes flood in The set is for kids 8 years and older, but group members quickly took the conversation in an adult direction.
"Clone a Willy," one wrote. Another said, "Build your own dildo set haha."
"Yes I seen [sic] this tonight definitely one of those double look moments," added another group member.
"Will go well with that neck massager they were selling a while back," someone quipped.
"I laughed hard at the 'erupting rainbow' decal," another person said.
"Ooof I think we're all accidentally dirty-minded haha," added yet another Aldi shopper.
Others had more practical questions about the set's suitability for kids.
Is it suitable for kids?
"All jokes aside haha has anyone got this for a 6yr old?" someone asked. "Will it be too hard for them as it says 8+. Obviously will be supervised. Looking for 6th birthday ideas."
"Pretty sure it comes with quite a comprehensive booklet-type thing which could be a bit advanced for a 6-year-old but would depend on your child. They might need help with some things," was one reply.
"We are always underwhelmed with these science kits. You usually need heaps of stuff they don't come with - everyday stuff that can be bought at the store, but still a pain when you don't have it at home and a child is excited wanting to play," was another answer.
A different customer echoed this sentiment, saying, "I got it for my 4-year-old and we’ve been having a blast with it. I’d recommend you have rock salt, vinegar, bicarb, food coloring and sugar on hand though lol."
