Blow them up and hand out "balloons"...

MrsDeathOfRats · 26/10/2015 17:06

Tesco recently sent me 12month+ soppy cups instead sangenic cartridges.... I was a bit ConfusedHmm

MrsDeathOfRats · 26/10/2015 17:06

*sippy. Not soppy

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 26/10/2015 17:06

Grin that's amazing.

Are they flavoured condoms?

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 26/10/2015 17:07

That has to be the best substitution ever, and I speak as one who was subbed fish sauce for fish once...

Unless you ordered minion condoms???

olaflikeswarmhugs · 26/10/2015 17:08

Best substitution EVER !!!!!

I'm always disappointed when I don't get a ridiculous substitutionHalloween Hmm

FattyNinjaOwlBecameAZombie · 26/10/2015 17:08

That's brilliant Halloween Grin
This is why I turn substitutes off

You have to wonder who on earth thinks condoms are a good sub for haribo.

Yabvu. My 10 year old would be singularly unimpressed.

Counttheshadows · 26/10/2015 17:09

How did they decide on that?! Best substitution ever!

Gileswithachainsaw · 26/10/2015 17:11

if you're buying haribo it's a good sign your at least 2 years too late fir the condoms Grin

Ejay1808 · 26/10/2015 17:11

There might be a gap in the market for minion condoms! Unfortunately not flavoured - extra large though...

Condoms instead of Halloween sweets?

You need to tell the papers about this. Can you arrange some sadface children in their costumes for the photo?

WotNoLoobrush · 26/10/2015 17:27

I've heard about these weird substitutions with online ordering but that takes the biscuitGrin

miaowroar · 26/10/2015 17:34

OP Halloween Grin

One substitution I heard of (but about fourth hand) was a toaster for a kettle. Halloween Confused

MrsSalvoMontalbano · 26/10/2015 17:35

*has to be the best substitution ever^
Yes!!!!!!!

Sternin · 26/10/2015 17:35

The Tesco website once suggested we bought condoms as they'd ran out of formula milk. It's a bit late for that!

HoobleDooble · 26/10/2015 17:35

Are you thinking of condoms in the shape/colour of minions or condoms for minions to use?

I am overthinking this!

ShebaShimmyShake · 26/10/2015 17:36

You have to wonder who on earth thinks condoms are a good sub for haribo.

I think they taste pretty similar, actually...

OnlyLovers · 26/10/2015 17:36

That's the funniest substitution yet!

MyCatIsABiggerBastardThanYours · 26/10/2015 17:36

That's just fantastic.!

Has to be a candidate for a Daily Fail sad face article and picture, surely!

Marzipanface · 26/10/2015 17:38

Ridiculous substitution! I was subbed KY jelly in place of thrush cream once!

Pipbin · 26/10/2015 17:38

It almost beats the octopus for a loaf of bread, but not quite:

laughingatweather · 26/10/2015 17:38

That's excellent!.

My best sub was when I ordered a bag of frozen scallops to use in a risotto and received ONE fresh scallop on the half - shell.

What did they think I could do with just one?.

rainbowstardrops · 26/10/2015 17:44

I was laughing with one of the delivery drivers once about some weird substitution they'd given me and he said the best that he'd seen was when someone ordered sanitary towels and they substituted it with razor blades Grin
