Home delivery substitutes

So not an Aibu but wanted to see other people's experiences. What's the strangest/funniest substitute you've had delivered with your home grocery delivery? Don't know if I'm allowed to name the shop...

I'll start;

Instead of breast pads I got nappy cream

Instead of pre- made infant first milk I got follow on milk (delivery driver didn't tell me there was a substitute so I'm glad I noticed before giving the baby it)

One of my friends received frozen raspberry cheesecake instead of frozen raspberries

Fresh apricots instead of apricot flavoured baby puree for my 8 month old...

Best one I saw was instead of condoms they sent a pregnancy test Grin

Oh also instead of baby milk they sent whisky hahaha

Our subs have normally made sense. I did get 3 oranges instead of 3 red peppers though last year Confused

We've had a couple of extras put in though, tub of ice cream the best, 12 large bulbs of garlic the worst.

Super plus tampons instead of lites, philly soft cheese instead of a block of cheddar. Feel bad for being p**d off after reading these lol

Can't remember any subs but I do remember complaining that there was no suitable alternative for minced beef - apparently no bigger, smaller, more premium, organic, or cheaper minced beef was available.

Instead of margarine....a Daily Mail! Never ordered home delivery from that supermarket ever again.

Well, they're both awful. Maybe the algorithm just threw up "other things that are awful and shouldn't exist" suggestions. :)
