This is so bizarre...

DP just returned from Tesco having bought a 12.5g box of Amber Leaf tobacco. When he tore off the cellophane and looked inside the box he found no tobacco and precisely seven sheets of toilet paper and 2 two-pence pieces! What the devil is going on? We're just sat here, open-mouthed, staring at bog roll and coppers. Has anyone got any idea what could have happened at t'factory? Has anything like this ever happened to you? Where's our baccie?!

curiouser and curiouser. Is anything written anywhere on the box ? A clue maybe...

Dh and I were having a conversation recently where I said it would be great of you could just pay someone else to smoke the cigarettes for you and buy the empty packet, a kind of smoking surrogacy... Maybe it's already started damn I knew I should have patented it

[PistolWhipped]

We live miles from Tesco and don't own a car. He's only just opened the carton and he's dying for a fag I've just emailed the tobacco company asking them to solve the mystery. I honestly would think DP had gone insane were I not also staring into the abyss of an Amber Leaf carton containing toilet paper and two coins! There is nothing written on the box..

[PinkSparklyElephant]

I'd email Tesco - I complained about some sausages and mayo and got my money back and a £10 voucher for the sausages and £15 for the mayo.

[AryaOfHouseSnark]

Yes email Tesco, the robbin Bastards.

We're wondering if the baccie packer at Amber Leaf has some scam going whereby he packs two 2-pence pieces wrapped in bog paper into the cartons whilst he pockets the tobacco. The coins probably weight the same as the baccie and the loo roll stops 'em jangling

[SugarAndSpice126]

Someone at factory stealing the tobacco and replacing with tissue paper that would feel squishy and coins for weight? To mimic the tobacco?

[PistolWhipped]

*weigh

[justmuddlingalong]

Just out of interest. Is the toilet paper 2 or 3 ply?

[PistolWhipped]

Crossed posts, Sugar!

[PistolWhipped]

It's 2 ply

[AryaOfHouseSnark]

muddling.

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

How very odd.

[fairgame]

It's the new NHS stop smoking initiative

[hiddenhome]

This doesn't surprise me. Tesco could screw up the simplest of things

[crazynanna]

Or..maybe the 'baccie packer is trying to send customers a message re: quality of product, like:

"It ain't worth tuppence and is a load of shite"

[justmuddlingalong]

Just think, someone somewhere is trying to wipe their ar$e with some tobacco!

[PistolWhipped]

Pa haha! Speaking of wiping arses my baby's crying...

[waithorse]

Very odd.

[rembrandtsrockchick]

I once bought a pack of Golden Virginia and found three small coins in it. They hads gone green and the tobacco tasted awful.

I worked at a catalogue company and one day a lady rang up to complain that she had ordered and received some rather large elasticated wasited comfy trousers, tried them on and when put her hands in the pockets found a notes saying 'Yes, you do look a twat in these'

[MrsWinnibago]

that's someone in the warehouse. Nothing to do with the store I bet. Though they will want to know. You may not be able to prove it though as anyone could claim this to be happening.
