Aldi has shared a hilarious response after being mocked for selling seemingly identical pizza cutters and vegetable peelers.
The supermarket chain came under fire after photos of the products were shared on Twitter. People soon joined in to poke fun at the designs, with the pizza cutter looking a lot more like a peeler than a traditional wheel-shaped tool.
Sharing a photo of both products, Danny Reid asked: "Is it a pizza cutter or a peeler? It can't be both, surely." Aldi was quick to provide a cheeky response, the Mirror reports.

A tweet from the budget supermarket's official account simply said: "A real chef is never restricted by his tools". The playful response delighted many, garnering over 13,000 likes and hundreds of retweets.
More customers soon joined in the fun. Ian Bristow said: "A pizza peeler - it's what I've always wanted." And Aldi retaliated: "Finally, I don't need to spit out the pizza skin anymore."
When another customer joked that they cut their pizza with a potato masher, Aldi quipped: "Mashed pizza is my favourite!”
And after one shopper said they have seen people "cut pizza with scissors," Aldi replied: “I've seen someone just fold one over and eat it like a sandwich!" The supermarket chain also confirmed that both items were peelers.
Aldi customer service rep Diarmiad said: "I tried to think of a witty reply but it just led to me peeling the toppings off a pizza and slicing a carrot with a pizza cutter. We will pass this on to the store to feed back to our supplier.”
