Most strange supermarket substitute
Jump to: Newest in thread
On the radio this morning. Someone ordered chicory (online shopping) and got bandage tape as a substitute. What's the strangest substitute you have had??
For us was arrowroot biscuits instead of chocolate chip cookies. |

Ordered sugar free cloudy lemonade, got ordinary cloudy lemonade.
Almost any other sugar free drink would have been fine. One with sugar wasn't fine. Did they not think sugar free had been ordered for a reason and a substitute with sugar may not be suitable?! |

I have two coeliacs & learnt to opt in to the 'no substitutes' early on. I ordered 'free from' bread rolls.... I got regular bread!! Another type of free from bread would have made sense.. surely the 'free from' stated the obvious.... apparently not.... |

I had 24 cereal bars containing chocolate chips delivered instead of the 4 cartons of soya milk I ordered, the Tesco I ordered from stocked 4 different brands of soya milk so I couldn't quite work it out why they didnt just pick up another brand  |

I ordered a bag of frozen chopped onion (cos I hate chopping onions) and got a bag of beer battered onion rings instead... They tasted weird in my beef casserole
My friend got given a huge bag of black peppercorns but didn't own a grinder so she ordered one, they sent her a bag of peppercorns instead.. |

Did they still charge you 7 quid for the joint?  |
