Aldi nostalgia in Berlin: a small stop, an old memory

An Aldi stop in Berlin, and suddenly the 1990s are back. My question in the clip is for anyone who remembers going shopping with their parents and getting a pudding as a treat.

It is a small moment from the Europe trip: a supermarket aisle, familiar packaging and a memory that needs very little explanation. You can travel to another city and find something there that takes you straight back to childhood.

Not every travel memory comes from a museum or a landmark. Sometimes it is an ordinary shop. For those of us who grew up between languages and places, those everyday details can carry their own sense of home.

Do you remember those shopping trips too? The original clip is below.
