Aldi has shared a witty response after being mocked for selling a pizza cutter and vegetable peeler that look exactly the same. The supermarket chain came under fire after photos of the products were shared online. And people lined up to poke fun at the designs, as the pizza cutter more closely resembled a peeler than a traditional wheel-shaped tool.
One such shopper, Danny Reid, asked: “Is it a pizza cutter or a peeler? It can’t be both, surely.” But Aldi did not take the knocks lying down – and hilariously hit back at critics on it’s official Twitter account.

“A real chef is never restricted by his tools,” it comically replied.
The playful response delighted many, garnering over 13,000 likes and hundreds of retweets.
And it led more customers to flock to the comments to join in with the fun.
Ian Bristow joked: “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.”
