Online Grocery Shop - Weirdest Substitutions

Right, who has got my M&S Passion Fruit Swiss Roll, and is missing their pack of fresh Rigatoni pasta?

Despite the order confirmation stating there were no items missing or substitutions!

Obviously a mix up in the fridge department.
I hope whoever is missing their pasta is not relying on it for a meal this evening!

What has been your strangest substitution, and best?!

I ordered ice cubes and they gave me frozen chips instead! They also subbed limes for bananas, not quite the same in a G&T!

Whenever I bother to go through the list and write out a detailed (polite) substitution for a couple of items I'm desperate for is always when they have everything!

I had Covid last year and ordered lemons, ginger, and turmeric to make a drink with. I got limes, garlic, and turmeric teabags (the teabags at least were okay).
