I heard that the orginal Aldi was owned by a brother and sister, Al and Dee, they started out growing carrots in their back yard, Al wanted to sell them and Dee wanted to give them away.

Dee went to Washington to give them away and Al continued to sell them and made a lot of money so that people could look down on him.

And they both lived happily ever after.
