(NEXSTAR) – Look at any Aldi-brand product for more than a few seconds, and you’ll undoubtedly notice a peculiar quantity of barcodes, some of which extend along the entire length of the product.

They’re actually so prevalent on some packages that shoppers have questioned whether they’re simply utilized to eat up space that would otherwise be left blank.

“I like it. It takes up dead space like a painting in a museum,” one Aldi customer wrote on Reddit, adding that the barcodes are “slightly [shocking] and trippy” at first glance.
