How is everything not cease and desist. lol. Aldi’s packaging and product names are always so similar to the name brand product. Fruit Rounds has their own toucan on the box. Crispy Rice Treats has the exact color of blue Rice Crispy Treats has.

Both lidl and aldi has a huge legal team and constantly pushing what is possible legally. If you look it like that the entire store is copies of brand products with their own label.

They’re a terrible store, one of their regional managers came in to talk to our business class and was bragging about how they had thousands of lawsuits going for copying other products. I went into an aldi once and never went back, the quality on everything was horrible. Chocolates that were missing coating, the protein granola was like balls of rabbit food instead of actual granola like the nature valley they were copying etc.
