If you had bothered to consult google, you probably would have found out that, indeed, LIDL is a chain of supermarkets. I didn't actually know they existed in the UK, but they defiantely do in Belgium and France.
They sell inadequate foodstuffs. I suspect they fucntion like this:
- sell french crap in belgium's flemmish speaking part because nobody there knows the products and the extend of their crappiness.
- sell belgian crap in france because nobody in france understand dutch and knows belgian products hence they'll purchase the crap.
you can extrapolate the options for all the other countries where LIDL sells from the previous two. Of course, all of this is only speculation on my part. And in fact the soggy cookies that militia talks about can be found in my local LIDL as well, so I suppose some products are global, further rendering my theory invalid. Which is fine, because it was crap to begin with.
I find that LIDL is much like a disease. An addiction in that once you start going there, and you've bitten through the bitter pill (haha often quite literally, never mind, just some emergent humor folks), it gets progressively more easy to eat their crap, because you body starts adapting. Some form of stockhold complex perhaps. And their stuff IS cheap. Way cheap. You can shop like a king in LIDL with a poor mans budget.
Uh. There.
