- das_keyboard 3y agoTo be fair, this was more of a tongue in cheek response and not really directed at you or your project directly. For me Aldi is just such a european thing that I was genuinely surprised by this.
- jimmySixDOF 3y agoDon't forget there are two Aldi (Aldie?) the yellow South and the Blue North and they both have a different international footprint just to complicate things
- ivandenysov 3y agothere are even memes about this. Like this tactical map: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/zacwvs/supermarket_civil_war/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/zacwvs/supermarket...
- nwatson 3y agoAldi North is called Trader Joe's in the USA.
- BlackLotus89 3y agoIt's not the same. Aldi Nord just owns Trader Joe's https://www.aldireviewer.com/aldi-and-trader-joes-are-they-the-same-company/ https://www.aldireviewer.com/aldi-and-trader-joes-are-they-t...
- earthwalker99 3y agoYep. I shop at a building with an Aldi on the 1st floor and a Trader Joes on the 2nd floor. It's wonderful.
- goatforce5 3y agoI popped into an Aldi in Portugal ~6 months ago, and I noticed they had some Trader Joe's products on the shelves. Unsurprisingly, Aldi Portugal is owned by Aldi Nord.
- m0do1 3y agoIn Austria, Aldi (South) is called Hofer.

- ayocado 3y agoIt is pretty big in US as well :)
- mlrtime 3y agoMaybe I read too much reddit and I've been primed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priming_(psychology) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priming_(psychology)] But I read this as another anti-American comment which seems to be very fashionable recently.
- whythre 3y agoAs an American, I can understand the European internet user’s chagrin at our seeming total cultural ubiquity. It seems like almost every piece of media is about American concerns unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- boxed 3y agoJust the other day the US news were all ablaze about how the Super Bowl was the biggest viewed program on television since Apollo 11. Except of course, the Eurovision Song Contest is way bigger.
- roydivision 3y agoIf the location is not explicitly stated the default is the US. That's the Internet.
- mlrtime 3y agoI don't understand. YC is an American company in English. Why are visitors so surprised when most of the content is US based? Also Merica' #1 ... jk :)
- FlyingSnake 3y agoContent in English means it’s fair for all those who speak English. Unless you want a build a wall across the internet to keep rest of us out.
- hombre_fatal 3y agoIt is absolutely not true that just because a message is in English it has the intended audience of all English speakers.
- tshaddox 3y agoAldi was pretty ubiquitous in the rural Midwestern United States around where I grew up in the 1990s. We didn't associate it at all with Germany or Europe, and I had no idea about the company's origins until I read about it on Wikipedia many years later.
- tpm 3y agoAt least for Austria theree seems to be this: https://github.com/badlogic/heissepreise https://github.com/badlogic/heissepreise There is a link to raw data (a big json). Aldi is Hofer in Austria. Prices are probably the same in all their stores? Not sure something similar exists for Germany.
- mzs 3y agoThanks for making this. Is there data provided for iodized table salt?
- snowpid 3y agoIf you are the creator, the problem is more the title. You could write something like "Aldi Price Map in the US". Your current title is a good example of US defaultism and I happens way often (even in social studies where the scientist should be just embarrassed for that).
