10+ times people ordered groceries online and got much more than they bargained for
Now that the coronavirus pandemic has changed how we live our lives on an everyday basis, more and more people are opting for grocery delivery. After all, why take the risk to set foot in a store if you don’t have to? But folks are discovering that grocery delivery can come with some interesting surprises.
Those include some unique-looking food. It might not be what these people would have picked out themselves if they’d gone to the grocery store. But at least they can take pictures to post on social media and laugh about what they received. Check out some of the weirdest-looking foods delivered during quarantine.
1. A huge clove of garlic
Yes, this is just one clove of garlic. It’s not exactly clear how you’d use it in a recipe. Hopefully. the taste is the same, at the very least.
2. Giant strawberry
It’s almost summer, which means it’s a perfect time for berries. Just make sure you don’t get a weird one. This strawberry might be too big to cut up and put in your single-serve parfait.
3. Unusual pear
You might be able to pick out the perfect pear when doing the shopping yourself. But when you get grocery delivery, things could end up differently. That’s how one person got a strange-looking pear.
4. Massive carrot
You could use this carrot in several meals. It’s so big, you might have a hard time getting it in the refrigerator. It’s even bigger than the drink it’s pictured next to.
5. Big leek
You can add this leek to all the dinners you make with your giant carrot. At least it’ll get you through several meals. Hopefully, it’s massive size is just as good as if it were “normal.”
6. Wonky asparagus
What would you do if you got asparagus this big? You might have to give it some extra time in the skillet to cook all the way through. One thing’s for sure…it looks pretty silly.
7. Mutant carrot
The huge carrot might’ve been odd, but wait until you see this one. It looks like it’s made itself into the shape of a V. It might be hard to make this one look pretty in your lunch or dinner.
8. Don’t forget the massive onions
If you think that’s all of the huge veggies, you’d wrong. This onion is gigantic too. Where were all these hiding before the pandemic?
9. Some garlic too
Don’t forget about big garlic. This one will have your breath smelling bad for days. At least everything you eat will taste amazing.
10. Healthy-looking turnip
You have to wonder how long this turnip stayed in the ground. It’s incredibly huge. Who knows what the person who took the photo is going to make with that?
11. Is that a tomato? Or…
At first glance, you might think this is a dark-looking tomato. But wait…it’s not. It’s a tomato. Bet you didn’t see that coming.
12. Weirdly big egg
Why is this egg so unnecessarily big? It’s so much larger than any of the others. You could probably make breakfast for two with just that one egg.
Have you received any strange produce during the pandemic?
