Aldi Blind Box sells out within minutes on second day of giveaway

If you weren't able to secure an Aldi Blind Box on the first or second drops, don't fret – there will be two other chances for you to get one.

Monday, June 22, was the first day the grocery bundles were made available and they sold out within about five minutes, according to the website created for the promotion. The second drop had an identical result.

"We know ALDI shoppers love our limited-time drops, but the viral demand for the ALDI Blind Box blew us away," Aldi said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY on June 23. "This was a record response – the day one Snack Blind Boxes were claimed almost instantly."

"Our fans didn’t just like the concept of blind boxes in grocery form – they loved it," the company added. "For fans hoping to secure a Blind Box later this week, we're sharing helpful tips across our social channels ahead of the next drop."

At noon ET each day through June 25, customers can visit AldiBlindBox.com to claim that day's free themed box while supplies last. The boxes will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis, the company said in a news release, adding that more than 100 boxes will be given away per drop.

Aldi recently unveiled the mystery grocery bundles, which are filled with fan-favorite products and "fresh picks from across every aisle," the grocer said in a news release.

Social media users can visit Aldi's Instagram page to see which theme drops next.

What's in an Aldi Blind Box?

The four themes for the boxes include:

• Snack Blind Box: Features premium cheeses, dips, crunchy bites and sweets.
• Fiber Blind Box: Features produce favorites and better-for-you picks.
• Protein Blind Box: Features satisfying staples and surprising finds.
• Mystery Blind Box: Features a surprise assortment of ALDI fan favorites and staples.

The first box was the Snack Blind Box, meaning Tuesday's drop will be one of the other three themes.

“The Aldi Blind Box taps into the excitement our fans already feel walking our aisles,” said Bridget Kozlowski, director of communications for Aldi, in a news release. “Our shoppers come to Aldi for value, but they also come for discovery. From viral Aldi Finds to tried-and-true products shoppers love to tell their friends about, people love the thrill of discovering something new here."

"With surprise unboxings more popular than ever, this is our way of helping customers discover even more favorites," Kozlowski added.
