What was expected to be a typical shopping day at Lidl (Finland) swiftly became something much more when the supermarket’s own-brand sneakers went viral.
As the buzz grew, some customers were found queuing to get in the stores and snap up a pair.
Reports show that a local Lidl in Kirkkonummi had dozens of customers waiting at its doors at 8am.
When the doors opened eager shoppers ignored social distancing rules and rushed to grab stocks from the shelves.
The clamour was reportedly as fervent as when hundreds of people queued patiently for hours at the opening of a new Tokmanni store to get a free bucket.
The colourful Lidl sneakers are being sold for 15 euros RRP and fetching exorbitant fees online via secondary selling sites and private sellers.
This report was first found on Foreigner.fi and has more than a feint whiff of the Wurst (Luxemburg Makkara) about it.
So in true RTL Today style, here are the prized purchases Luxembourgized.
