Help me solve the mystery of the fry’s chocolate cream

[UnitedRoad]

I’ve just had a parcel sent via the Royal Mail 48 hour service. It has a return address on the label which is a newsagent in Glasgow.

It’s 5 packs of three different flavours of Fry’s Chocolate Cream bars. They’re not something I’d ever choose, I don’t know anyone in Glasgow, and I haven’t entered any competitions or anything.

I’m confused, and a tiny bit pissed off that it’s not maltesers

Oh Fry's chocolate! Love it!

@Myneighboursnorlax

If the Glasgow newsagent has an online shop or sells through FB during coronavirus then could it have just been one of your friends/family ordering them as a surprise for you, without realising where they were being sent from?

I think someone had ordered this as a ‘chocolate gift hamper’ and it’s missed the mark slightly. Wait for someone to mention it?

I hope there wasn’t supposed to be a card with it or someone is thinking ‘that did hasn’t called to say thanks for the hamper’.

Have you been doing any zoom quizzes and these are your prize?

Why do things like this never happen to me? I love Frys!

Not a fan - but free chocolate is free chocolate!

RASPBERRY?

How did I not know these existed.

I'm not far from Glasgow, I wonder if I could make an essential trip?

Haha, gotta love targeted ads!

OP, my sister lives in Glasgow and ordered some of these - but I don't think they turned up. I wonder if they sent them to you by mistake

Ok I’ve just ordered the exact same selection from Amazon- I’m blaming you for ruining my diet OP!

Have you checked your order history on your amazon account? Has anyone else in the household ordered them or your account been hacked?

SOLVED - I’ve just spoken to my mum and they’re my birthday present (not until July, but there you go). She said she chose them because it’s dark chocolate, so I won’t eat so much.

Nothing says happy birthday like your mum forgetting the month you were born while reminding you that you’re fat.

Aw bless - she was thinking about you and your health!

Wow, she's a bit mean.

Oh OP, that’s horrible.

For my friend’s 50th, her mother gave her money in a card along with a note inside to say it was to go towards a Weight Watchers membership.

Weird. She would have been better sending a small box of nice chocolates rather than a pile of cheap rubbish, and kept her mean comments about the OPs weight to herself.

Nothing says happy birthday like your mum forgetting the month you were born while reminding you that you’re fat.

Ouch! When's her birthday? Get her something equally as thoughtful.. .(I'm totally immature of course! )

Aww @UnitedRoad. I know it's not your birthday yet but have some early and 🍾 from me.

@UnitedRoad Omg.... Seriously that's really hurtful. I'd be cutting contact. Wow

Your own mother decides to get you £5 worth of chocolate then essentially calls you fat?
Yeah, she was chuckling when she ordered those

Its' very odd, but don't think you will have to send them back.People never send chocolate back. Just check that the choc is genuine,as in the wrappings etc. I would just like to say, that I had my first Fry's cream mint choc bar, in 1947, after the war sweet rationing ha ha,

Imagine the excitement of opening surprise chocolate, then realising it’s shitty Fry’s.

I pay quite a bit for a Fry's in the British aisle of the supermarket in Australia

Would love a Wispa.

That is shit she forgot your birthday and makes remarks about your weight. And sad that you actually pres

Ah fuck.

Sad that you were able to predict it. I hope you told her that was out of line. And to send you a proper gift.

They have them for sale on e bay, have you bought anything from there recently?

@ilikefrys Happy to post some Wispa & Fry's bars if you can refund postage afterwards? :)

Oh OP that's awful. I'm sorry about your mum.
