People say they'll never see the Lidl logo the same way after spotting hidden ‘dog' & even Aldi have weighed in
A person took to TikTok to share how the blue, yellow and red name looks like a cartoon animal playing a musical instrument.

On her @misskatiefett, one shopper wrote: 'Someone told me the Lidl sign looks like a dog playing the piano & I'll never unsee it.'
They seemed to agree with the comparison, writing 'facts' in the caption.
After sharing the comical Lidl theory online, over 127,000 people have liked the video, suggesting they were also entertained by this.
Others were left scratching their heads, and saying they couldn't personally see it.
Helpfully, others explained that the 'dog' is the red 'i' of Lidl, with the animal facing left towards the first L.
They claimed the slanted 'i' looked like a dog's front paws resting up against a 'piano', with the other side looking like a tail.
For those who still couldn't visualise it, someone shared a photo in the comments mocking up a dog to show it more clearly.
One person wrote: 'Took a few minutes but found the dog playing piano.'
Another added: 'I see it.'
However, one commented: 'I don't see it and I'm totally ok with it.'

Even supermarket rival Aldi took to the comments with their opinion, saying: 'We can only see it when our eyes are completely closed.'
NAME MIXED UP
Millions of people love shopping at budget supermarkets Aldi and Lidl - but have you been pronouncing the names incorrectly for years?
The retailers have cleared up how their brand names should actually be said, and it's baffled numerous shoppers.
First off, when it comes to Lidl, many British people call it with a short, sharp 'Li' at the start, which makes it sound similar to the word little.
However, in Germany - where the store originated in the 1930s - the store is actually pronounced Lee-dl.

Meanwhile, Aldi has also left customers torn with some calling it All-di when they do their grocery shopping.
According to the German retailer, it should actually be a short 'Al' such as with the word alloy.
The name actually came from the surname of the brothers who started the chain.
Aldi was founded by Karl Albrecht and his brother Theo, and the 'Al' is taken from Albrecht, and the 'di' comes from discount.
Although the store was initially launched in 1946, it became known as Aldi in 1962, and currently has 11,234 locations.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.

Celebrity Big Brother legend launching surprise music career as she teams up with Zara Larsson for sexy single
ZARA Larsson has worked with everyone from MNEK to David Guetta and Clean Bandit. But now the Swedish singer has lined up a very surprising collaboration with a Celebrity Big Brother legend. 3 3 3 Insiders have told The Sun that Zara, 27, has called on reality TV sensation Tiffany 'New York' Pollard for a brand new single called Hot And Sexy. Tiffany, 43, became an internet sensation on a series of shows in the US before a stint on Celebrity Big Brother here in 2016, where she clashed with Gemma Collins. She also went viral during her infamous 'David's dead' breakdown, where she mistakenly believed their housemate David Guest had died, after Angie Bowie told her that her ex-husband, rock star David Bowie, had passed away. A source said: 'Zara is a big fan of Tiffany's and has seen the cultural significance of what she does. 'On TikTok, Tiffany is off the charts and Zara approached her to see if she wanted to team up. 'Tiff helped write the track as well as singing alongside Zara on it. It's such a fun, upbeat song - it's going to be massive. 'Zara had so much fun working with her. They're going to be firm friends for life.' Tiffany returned to our screens earlier this year when she appeared as a guest on Celebrity Big Brother's Late And Live. One episode descended into chaos after Tiffany confronted Daley Thompson, branding him 'rotten'. After Daley, who was the third celeb to leave the house, made a comment about Tiffany being 'friendless' she hit back and said: 'Listen sweetheart, I don't need your friendship. Zara Larsson teases surprise joint album with HUGE US star as she says 'I think she's incredible 'Because, you might be a good kisser but you might need to kiss some tomatoes because you are rotten, honey.' Tiffany also confronted Trisha Goddard when she was evicted, calling her out for being 'rude'. Host Will Best asked: 'Is it bad out here in the real world?' prompting Trisha to reply: 'I could've run back in, but no, honestly by the time I got here, I've been used to studios like this for 35 years, and so I felt at home.' Tiffany then interjected and said: 'Oh that's why you were so rude to me upstairs during the debrief thing when you told me that I was small because you felt at home to be rude.'

Bleeding HGTV makes sweeping changes in last-ditch attempt to save network amid crisis
HGTV has cancelled seven shows in a bid to cut costs and bring the network into a new era. In recent weeks, the channel has axed Farmhouse Fixer, Izzy Does It, The Flipping El Moussas, Christina on the Coast, Married to Real Estate, Battle on the Beach, and Bargain Block, which has left fans furious. According to Deadline, the bold decision to cull the seven programs was to help free up some money. The publication reports that HGTV home renovation shows can cost up to $500,000 per episode compared to real estate shows, which costs somewhere between $200,000 and $300,000, and can be produced in a shorter period. 'Home reno shows are expensive because all of the materials are jacked up and on delay, the price of wood and marble and everything else is going up so these shows don't make as much sense anymore,' one source told Deadline. On top of budget issues, a producer claimed some talent were being paid up to $100,000 an episode and were 'afraid to say no.' 'They allowed their talent to run amok,' an insider alleged. 'They gave them some form of creative control and that's harming their own shows. They were so afraid of talent they never said no and the shows aren't delivering anymore. 'They kowtowed to talent and now they're suffering the consequences.' Additionally, the publication claimed that HGTV has been struggling with ratings, as well as competition from TikTok stars and other channels. 'I don't know if it's a show thing as much of an audience thing where a lot of people are dropping cable,' another source said. 'There was a time when people would just put on HGTV when they were cleaning.' Daily Mail has contacted HGTV for comment. Despite the bloodbath, HGTV does have new programming on the way. Property Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott are returning with a brand new show, Chasing the West, which is set to premiere on July 30. The eight-part series will see them help buyers find their dream ranch. Earlier this month, HGTV announced Queer Eye's Bobby Berk will front a new series, Junk or Jackpot, which 'follows collectors as they discover the true monetary value of their massive and unusual collections.' The show is executive produced by John Cena. My Lottery Dream and Zillow Gone Wild both returned to the network this month. My Lottery Dream, hosted by David Bromstad, sees him 'help clients purchase their fantasy homes with their newly attained fortunes.' 'No matter where these lucky buyers want to settle, David won't stop until he finds luxurious properties that deliver every feature on a lottery winner's wish list,' the synopsis teases. Meanwhile, Zillow Gone Wild follows comedian and actor Jack McBrayer as he searches the internet for the weirdest, wackiest and wildest properties on the market inspired by the exceedingly popular Instagram account that touts more than two million followers.

'I moved from US to the UK and there's one British phrase I still find odd'
A woman who moved from the US to the UK has shared three phrases she never said before she moved to Britain, including one that she claims 'throws off every American' A woman who moved from the US to the UK has shared the one 'British' phrase that she claims every American expat gets confused by. It's expected to get some culture shocks when moving to a new country, including the language used by locals, and an American called Katie has taken to TikTok to speak about the differences she has experienced since moving across from the States. The content creator now lives in York and has posted videos about her life in the UK. These include British supermarket items she likes and things that 'feel illegal' in Britain but aren't illegal. In another clip she shared three British phrases she never used to say before living in the UK. 1. 'You alright' Katie claimed the phrase 'you alright' 'throws off every single American when they move here' and she admitted that it's definitely true for herself. She explained that in America people only say that if something's wrong but in the UK people commonly say 'you alright' as a greeting when passing each other in the street, for example. The expat advised fellow American expats not to panic if a British person says this to them and to respond 'yeah, good thanks and you?' 2. 'Hiya' Katie continued: '[The] Second one is 'hiya'. I don't…I never said this before moving here, now I say it all the time.' 'Hiya' is an informal way of saying 'hello'. She added that it flows well with 'you alright' so someone from the UK might say 'hiya, you alright.' 3. 'What's for tea?' The content creator's third and favourite phrase that she has picked up since moving to the UK is 'what's for tea?' Katie remarked: 'I ask everybody 'what's for tea?', I love it.' She explained that Brits use this casual phrase when asking someone what they are having for dinner. The expat elaborated: 'I think it's maybe only like a northern thing to ask that but either way, yeah I'm obsessed with it.' She also shared that she asks 'what's for tea?' anytime there's a lull in the conversation or when she's talking to someone she has just met. Katie's TikTok video has garnered 18,700 views, more than 1,000 likes and numerous comments, at the time of writing. One user pointed out: 'Americans say 'how you doin' which is literally the same as 'you alright'. Another said: 'There's an amusing irony in how you started the video with 'what's up' which always throws Brits off as we would only use it if something is wrong.' A third praised Katie for adopting British culture as they commented: 'Perfect, you're doing great. These made me smile, I use all of these.' While a fourth added: 'Love how you're picking up a bit of an accent too."
