Betteridge's law of headlines

Somebody listed a bag for $50k on eBay. Listed doesn't mean sold.
Also Trader Joe's is a brand of Aldi, a German company, hardly an example of pure Americana.

Also Trader Joe’s is a brand of Aldi

Specifically Aldi Nord which is a different company from the Aldi (Süd), the one with that orange-blue logo.
