It's to beat you with for still wearing "face coverings" probably on your own whilst walking down the street, or driving alone in your fiat punto

Or, like my auntie, to wear toabs from her chemo appointments since catching covid, the flu, or a cold, could kill her.

Do you arseholes even think before you hit submit?

cold And flu tablets?

I ordered apricot flavoured baby food in a jar. They sent me a box of fresh apricots. DD couldn't manage solids yet so yeh...

I got mince pies instead of minced lamb from Asda, it was a really interesting moussaka that night!

My oh still wears them because of a poor immune system due to incurable cancer - is that ok for you???

And even if OP isn't vulnerable, and doesn't have a vulnerable relative - so what?

Some people just feel more confident wearing a mask. That is their choice and it hurts no-one. Let them be,

Substitution threads always remind me of the poster a few years ago (I can't remember exactly who now) who ordered woodland eggs and received a small wooden owl Grin

NoDairyNoProblem · 12/09/2022 20:30

That’s hilarious!

I once ordered beef gravy and got beef flavoured cat food- "meaty chunks in gravy".

HebeSunshine · 11/09/2022 22:11

That’s fantastic. The packers I have have never been that sensible. Dog food instead of cat food anyone?

It is actually computer that chooses the substitutes. The human doing the packing just follows the list of items in the stock that is provided by the system.

one mnetter received party poppers instead of tampons…..they both have strings i suppose

Although one is going to be quite something when you pull said string in order to remove it...

@OP, I dare you to ask Morrisons how best to wear your rolling pin to maximise Covid protection Grin

Well, ASDA once sent me oranges instead of carrots, so anything is possible!

They’re orange- what are you moaning about?! 😁

Dunnoburt · 12/09/2022 21:27

Hopefully something useful and more expensive than said face coverings! 😁

Once the party poppers are popped, they do look a bit like mooncups, maybe it was a genius substitution. 😅

This is Amazon Subscribe and Save’s idea of a good backup product in case bleach is unavailable. 🤔
