The Best Substitution Ever!

Reading this thread is really making me want to order some shopping online - I have never done it !

I read in our local paper that a chap asked for Matey bubble bath for his kids and was sent Mates condoms!

What amazed me was that he was shocked and offended and went to the local press when most people (as evidenced by this thread) would have laughed at it!

Can't top most of those. I did once order a pack of frozen vegetarian sausages, and it got substituted with a pack of frozen chicken skewers. No, I don't know either.

I ordered a cheese and tomato pizza and was sent a pepperoni pizza. This might seem OK but was part of an order that included vege burgers, vege sausages and vege mince and definitely no meat products.

I was bemused to find a tin of bean sprouts in my order - then realised that the brussel sprouts were missing :rotfl:

I ordered Ribena Toothkind and got Colgate Toothpaste!

Ordered a bottle of lemon washing up liquid - get a bag of lemons!

That happened to one of my uni housemates but the other way round - she ordered lemon juice and got sent lemon bathroom cleaner!

A friend of mine ordered a dozen free range eggs and got a dozen Cadburys cream eggs, had to laugh at that one.

We once ordered a bottle of Asda smart price whiskey and it was substituted with a large bottle of Bells. Thing is, it didn't show on the receipt so I queried it with the delivery man. He said it wasn't his problem, so just keep it. Bargain!!

My friend I was visiting had ordered a leg of lamb costing £8 from ASDA - they sent an apology they didn't have one big enough and had subbed the largest one they had - a massive £22 worth of lamb...they thought she wanted 8Lbs not £8! Told just to keep it so we had a large roast, millions of sandwiches, massive shepards pie, a curry and still loads left!

I ordered some Rhubarab once - think it was Asda. The packer had a bit of a think and substituted with both a rhubarb crumble and a rhubarb pie. As I was intending to make crumble, this was a result!
