Aldi's response to the lady calling about finding aa scorpion in her broccoli.

"Madame, we are so sorry. We will pay you $500 compensation if you will sign a confidentiality agreement. We can't have publicity on this incident or then everyone will want a scorpion in their broccoli."

"She said the eight-legged creature became aggressive when she and her husband attempted to capture it.

From the news: "Three flights from Australia carrying food, water, medical supplies and telecommunications equipment landed in Tonga on Saturday, as the Pacific nation grapples with the aftermath of an underwater volcanic eruption"

I wonder what else they were bringing? Scorpions in the food?
