Relying on the internet to help you build a marketing campaign for your brand might be a tad dangerous and a somewhat ill-thought-out idea, but ALDI decided to try it anyway.

Look upon it and shudder:
And, as can be expected, Twitterers have been unforgiving.

It’s not even that anyone dislikes @ALDIAustralia really. Their social media manager just put out a sign that said “open for trolling”

ALDI Australia has since deleted the Tweet online after the Twitter trolls jumped on the bandwagon.
