Man's Tesco sandwich costume enrages yellow sticker discount lovers
A man has been slammed for his sandwich fancy dress costume after people spotted something very odd - one Tesco worker was not impressed at all.
Everyone enjoys a great deal, and if an item has a yellow sticker reduction, it's an absolute victory.
That's why one man chose to don the guise of a discounted sandwich and it was hailed as the "perfect" fancy dress by some, while others were left puzzled over one aspect of the costume.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), @nocontextbrits wrote: "The perfect fancy dress doesn't exi...", accompanied by a photo of a man dressed as a discounted Tesco egg and cress sandwich.
The original price of the 'sandwich' was £1.40, and many were shocked to see that it didn't have much money off, as it was still £1.26 after the yellow sticker discount.

This joke is of course reminiscent of all the times you've gone into the supermarket, clocked a yellow discount sticker, only to realise a measly amount of money has been taken off the original price - despite the fact it's imminently out of date
However, some thought the costume was brilliant. One described it as "unique", while another felt it was "hilarious" and possibly the "best Halloween dress" for this coming October. One individual concurred, expressing: "I think your costume will definitely defeat many people on Halloween."

One X user quipped that it might be a "marketing" stunt by the supermarket, commenting: "'We have the perfect marketing job for you. You will be the centre of attention'." Another person praised his "dedication" to the costume idea.
Meanwhile, a Tesco employee humorously remarked: "I have to put those bloody stickers on in work every day. If someone turned up to my party like that throw em out."
