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....
