Served hot dog-style in a fluffy white bun, with twirly spaghetti and tomato sauce, or over soft biscuits in a creamy gravy, sausages are the ultimate comfort food. What’s not comforting is opening up a packet of frozen sausages to find a smiley sausage face staring back at you. But unfortunately, that’s what happened to 28-year-old British woman Fran Webster.
When Fran poured the sausages out, she realized she had 12 regular sausage-shaped sausages — and a weird, round circle about an inch thick and the size of a CD. Turning the mysterious disc over, she saw that someone had sculpted the sausage meat into a face, which was now grinning up at her.
Here you go:

After the initial surprise, she told Swindon Advertiser that she wrapped the face up in foil and put it back in the freezer — and threw out the other 12 sausages. (Don’t worry, she had a backup face-free pack on hand.) Her children were apparently keen to eat the face, but Fran decided against it.
Crying real tears:

One person suggested a possible sibling for the face:

Here are some non-face ones:
They cost Fran just 91p (about $1.15). Aldi started out as a single grocery store in Germany in 1913, but in 1976 they opened their first U.S. store in Iowa, and the first British store opened in 1990.
Mate Aldi has smashed it out the park with all their biscuits, third of the price of the thing they're copying and pretty much indistinguishable from the real thing

Shopping in the middle aisles is an experience in itself.
You find things you never knew you needed…

That’s British for, “I’m totally obsessed.”
I love shopping at Aldi’s ♥️

Even Fran said that she’ll still be shopping there!

Translation: that’s 2.2lb of Nutella for $5.06.
On May 9th, archaeologists announced that a tomb discovered behind one of the chain’s stores in 2003 could have belonged to a prince.

Although Fran is still a fan, Aldi apologized and offered to refund the 91p, while looking into exactly how the face came to be. In the meantime, check your sausages to see if they’re staring back at you…
