who in their right mind thinks frozen cauliflower florets are a good substitute for Brussels sprouts??

Everything about them is different.

Smell, taste, texture, molecular structure...

Surely there was some kale or spinach lying around

It’s what the computer tells them to substitute. Be grateful you didn’t end up with 24 cabbages instead.

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

I once ordered coffee.

They substituted it for cotton buds.

It actually had that as the substitute on the receipt. I was baffled and sad all at once.

Can't be down to a computer. I know someone who was sent sanitary towels instead of puppy pads.

Could be that they have such a short time frame to pick orders the person just read it wrong.

I would be useless at it as I skim read.

On a good note, I was sent 30 cans of coca cola zero as a substitute for my 8 cans of decaffeinated diet coca cola, and wasn't charged for them

Someone was really tired when they read your order.

I was going to say it must have been a Lidl or Aldi delivery.

I wondered, but it isn't like they're even close to the same aisle.... and the coffee was the brand name!

I ordered tangerines

There were substituted with apples

Surely, if they didn't have tangerines, they would have had some sort of orange coloured citrus fruit?

Could always go to the supermarket yourself if you are able.
