Thatchers made their lemon drink in 2020, and Aldi made theirs in 2022. The Thatchers person said to the judge, "Let's try the drinks without looking, to see if they are the same." Thatchers spent a lot of money to make people like their drink. They think that's why Aldi is selling a lot of their drink. Aldi had another problem before when they made a Christmas drink that was too much like another store's drink. Now, we are waiting to see who the judge thinks is right.
