AIBU: Dairylee or Dairylea!

[sapientia99]

My childhood is destroyed, my mind blown. Am I the only one who thought Dairylea was spelt and said Dairylee!?! DAIRYLEE is what my mum said, DAIRYLEE is what my friends said but now I find out that it was DairyleA all along! There's an A...an A! I think we need to petition immediately to have it changed to Dairylee...

Noo and New sound the same in my accent.

It’s on the FAQ section of their website.

@Houseonahill

If you’ve just learned to read then yeah it might come as a shock

What on earth are you on about, OP? It's always been spelt Dairylea, and 'lee' is pronounced exactly the same as 'lea' anyway!

I knew about Nutella, but I pronounce it like 'nut' because that's how it's pronounced in the UK. The company knows this, so that's why they use the 'nut' pronunciation in the UK.

What about Lidl?

Adverts for them pronounce it Lee-dle but I always say lid-l

Yes but Leedl is basically just Lidl said with a German accent. It's not that much of a shift from an English 'i'.

The OP is not going to come back

It's not like it's some sort of elaborate subterfuge @sapientia99 .

It's printed right there on the packet, and it's pronounced the same, regardless.

😂

It's always been spelt LEA

Surely Dairylee is just a bloke with a whiff of cheese about him.

Has anyone tasted it recently it's horrible, I thought I'd bought a faulty tub cos it was sloppy when I opened it

Did you buy the low fat version by mistake? That's a horrible shock if you're used to the real thing.

I was distraught when I discovered Cornflakes weren’t called Cornerflakes so I feel your pain. But I was 8.
