LONDON -- British people take their tea -- and, by extension, their beloved tea-dunking accessories -- very, very seriously indeed.

Darryl Reilly was enjoying the classic combination of Chocolate Digestives and a morning cuppa recently when he made a shocking discovery in his biscuit packet, and had absolutely no choice but to take to Facebook to confront the supermarket responsible.

The problem was, one of Reilly's "Chocolate" Digestives was, in fact, completely lacking in chocolate.

Reilly accompanied the frankly disturbing image with the following message.

Luckily, the Aldi team clearly have an awesome sense of humour and were quick to send back the following reply.

And they even sent Reilly a fresh packet of Digestives and some sugar (presumably to counter the competition from Tesco).

Meanwhile, other people began sharing their own stories of injustice.

Although for every person that had suffered, there seemed to be others who had gained.
