A 15-year-old schoolboy left retailer giant Tesco red-faced after he pointed out a grammatical mistake on one of their juice cartons.

Albert Gifford said that one Tesco Pure Orange carton had a double superlative, "most tastiest," printed on the one-litre packet, the Daily Express reported.

After Gifford wrote a letter to the company complaining about the error, they replied saying that they would change the text on the packaging when it is reprinted.

Gifford said that even though he was happy to have a short letter back from the company, he is a little bit disappointed because he didn't get any vouchers for orange juice.
