Lidl are selling a butternut squash masquerading as a lamp

[Snooks1971]

Or is it an over ripe pear?
I do love Lidl and their randomness. Also not sure about the wooden coaster that it is nestling upon.
AIBU about the miss-selling of fruit/vegetables used as lamps?

I have like 4 salt crystal lamps 😂

I’ll go and bin them now... non from Lidl though

Oh noooo dipping now I feel like a rude cow!

Looks like a pear to me.

It’s a Father Jack earwax candle.

What's random about a salt lamp?

Haha it’s fine! Tbh I just wanted one to see if it does have a calming effect and ended up getting more as presents .. typical.

That's a good price compared to other ones I've seen.

Fekko

I’d love one of those! Haven’t seen them in the French Lidl yet.

Don't bin them, Dipping - break them down for winter path clearance purposes.

I'm assuming they are made from actual salt. I've never seen such a thing.

Should they taste of salt if they are the real thing?

Good for the lungs apparently- the salt air when the lamp warms up.

Some poeple love them.

Some people believe they have mysterious health-giving properties.

I've got one, not from Lidl, but it is definitely made of salt. I know because I licked it.

Not sure about the health stuff but it gives off a nice light, warming.

I don't think it's mysterious.

We have "salt rooms" at a clinic nearby. It was noticed that miners working in salt mines had very few bronchial problems. It's not a far fetched idea.
Although I haven't tried it or used a salt lamp.
If people feel it helps, then why not.
My neighbour has one in his conservatory, it gives of a lovely soft glow at night.

ooh that's cheap. They make lovely night lights.

I've never heard of them

You have got to love the aisle of weirdness though

I've got one from amazon they do taste of salt😄 and they are really heavy.

I know because I licked it. That me laugh, thank you!

First and foremost I need to state my case: I have nothing against salt lamps (I've never heard of them but now I'm interested). Are all salt lamps vegetable shaped?

I know I could google but I prefer to ask

Oh, oh, oh....
I live nowhere near a Lidl but a friend does.
I had heard of these and asked him to get me one, sight unseen.
He phoned to say: '2 kinds, which do you want?' and I said:
'oooh, can you get both, receipt and return the one I don't like pls?'
Kindly, he agreed. I bet I don't return either.

No they come in all sorts of rock type shapes

I'm following hoping for details as my google is broken.
