Aldi is known for low prices, no-frills aisles, and a shopping cart deposit system that sparks debate every time it hits TikTok. But this week, the German-owned grocery chain earned a new reputation for dropping a viral social media zinger that even Wendy’s might admire.

What started out as a classic “kiss cam” moment spiraled Wednesday as two Astronomer executives were caught embracing at a Coldplay concert.
Such is the case for Andy Byron, CEO of tech company Astronomer, who on Wednesday night was filmed cuddling with his human resources chief at a Coldplay concert in Boston.
