Shopper astonished upon finding water bottle at Kaufland, doubting reality.
Kaufland's Green Mineral Water Bottle Sparks Curiosity Among Customers
A curious incident has unfolded at a Kaufland store, as a customer discovered a green bottle of mineral water among a pack of colorless and transparent bottles. This unexpected find has sparked discussions among customers and online communities, with some expressing confusion about the green bottle's origin.
The green bottle, it seems, is not a departure from Kaufland's usual packaging for its mineral water. According to industry practices, colored (especially green or brown) bottles for beverages sensitive to light are common, as they help protect the contents from UV light, which can degrade the product quality over time. This practice is common for beverages such as wines and some mineral waters.
The mineral water in question is bottled by the MEG Weissenfels Group, which also bottles for Lidl. The group's mineral water is known to come in both colorless and green bottles, with the green bottles likely serving a dual purpose: protection from light and marketing differentiation.
Kaufland has issued a statement regarding the incident, confirming that the green bottle in question ended up in the production line by mistake. The spokesperson for Kaufland assured customers that the incident does not affect the quality or safety of the mineral water.
One customer, who posted about the incident on Reddit, asked whether the green color was due to light refraction in physics. However, the statement from Kaufland did not address this question directly.
This incident is separate from a previous news about Kaufland's announcements that divided customers. It is also notable that unlike a previous incident at Aldi, this incident does not involve any live animals.
Other Reddit users also expressed confusion about the green bottle of mineral water, with some speculating about the reasons behind its appearance. Despite the curiosity, it is clear that Kaufland is taking steps to prevent similar incidents in the future, though no further information about ongoing investigations or actions has been provided.
