A Tesco shopper was left in stitches after opening her meal deal sandwich and discovering an unexpected surprise inside. Hoping for a quick snack, the woman selected a simple option from the supermarket, expecting the usual pair of sandwiches. However, upon unwrapping it, something felt off immediately. Alongside two regular sandwiches, she realised she had been given an extra slice of cheese in the middle.
TikTok Video Goes Viral
Sharing the moment on TikTok, she said: 'I don't know why but this is so funny to me, made me giggle for a full five minutes. It almost looks like three sandwiches but no.' The clip quickly attracted attention, with viewers equally amused and perplexed by the sight. One user joked: 'I guess it's a club sandwich... but with all cheese.' Another added: 'That's a triple decker sandwich that is.'
Others were less impressed by the choice itself, with one writing: 'Why would you waste money on the most basic sandwich a person can make.' A third said: 'That literally looks like the worst sandwich mankind has ever made.'
Tesco Meal Deal Remains Popular
Despite the debate, the supermarket's meal deal remains hugely popular across the UK. Last summer, Tesco increased the price slightly, bringing it to £3.85 with a Clubcard, and £4.25 without. A premium option is also available for £5.50 with a Clubcard, or £6 without. For that price, shoppers can mix and match a main, a snack, and a drink, choosing from a wide range of sandwiches, wraps, salads, and more.
The variety has even caught the attention of visitors from abroad. American content creator Kalani recently introduced his friend Chris to the deal, explaining: 'If you have a Clubcard, which we do, you get a main, a snack, and a drink, for a really good price.' Chris was quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number of options, especially when faced with what Kalani described as a 'wall of crisps'.
'It's like when I go to Subway,' Chris said. 'You can't just expect me to go in there and pick... I need a minute.' In the end, he settled on a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich, prawn cocktail Skips, and an Irn Bru, and was stunned by the price. 'So I get all this for £3.85?' he asked.
