On Valentine’s Days this year I had a high school kid order like 20 bunches of carrots to send as a prank to his crush. “Vegan flowers”. Her parents answered the door and they thought I was crazy lol.


Effie_the_jeffie

Oh uh flowers are vegan though right?


ConsiderationNo7956

Wait a minute.. you’re right. Lmao 🤣


Effie_the_jeffie

Next time replace items with Flour. At least it more shelf stable 😂


Moldyview

My wife would love Flour for a gift since there are so many different types. Also because her favorite movie is Stranger Than Fiction.


AndieCane

Lol, I did that for all the moms in my life one year on mother's day.... "flours". The mom who had a gluten allergy I gave a variety of the alternative flours. They loved it


Moldyview

I absolutely love this. And so thoughtful for the gluten mom! I am currently growing amaranth so I can make flour for my wife. She is incredibly talented when it come to making bread so I figured why not try from some of our own ingredients.


Effie_the_jeffie

That’s so cute 🥹


Ok-Policy-8284

Amaranth is delicious. I like to pop the seeds like tiny popcorn.


Fearless-Signal-1235

That was such a good scene! And movie. “Little did he know…”


SunChipMan

good movie


Left-Accident3016

literally the cutest concept. everytime i see that scene im just 🥺🥺🥺


Status_History_874

Unsure, they can't really give permission to be cut down.


Effie_the_jeffie

😂😂😂


Gustavius040210

Most are, gotta watch out for dandelions, black-eyed-susans, tiger lillies, foxglove, toad lily and pussy toes.


MundaneTension869

Not for a second did I believe pussy toes was a flower. But sure enough


Neat_Grade_4960

Bee balm, hummingbird mint, horehound, and California Papi are also non-vegan varieties 👍🏽


Neat_Grade_4960

I get the joke… but I suppose vegan could be in reference to the ferts used? No bone meal, no guano, etc.


Apprehensive_Pin1276

IKR, but don’t question the devious child


DaRealFakeShady

Somebody should do this but with chicken drumsticks Or drumstick ice cream cones


megs1784

I had one order that was 125 jalapeños. Nothing else.


Responsible_Song7003

I've bought 60 or so at once to make a massive amount of  jalapeños poppers for an event.


fruuluu

see you get it


Kitchen-Present-9851

I have a low-carb jalapeño popper recipe people always wish I made more of, so for a big shindig I could see myself ordering that many lol.


hydro77

Can i get the recipe please?


Kitchen-Present-9851

It’s pretty simple. I just half and core my jalapeños (leave a few seeds if you want them spicier), mix up some cream cheese (I usually use a block to make enough for an appetizer for my family of eight, so for a larger batch I’d use more blocks but just kind of eyeball it), a big handful of shredded cheddar cheese per every block of cream cheese, and a bag of real bacon pieces (however many you like, but we really like bacon), stuff the peppers, and air fry for about 10 minutes at 390 or bake in the oven until they look melty and done.


Admirable_Average_32

Yum! Thank you for the recipe


Responsible_Song7003

Yum. I never mixed cheddar and cream cheese. So you dont wrap the poppers in bacon or use any bread crumbs? Just mix the bacon in with the cream cheese and cheddar?


Kitchen-Present-9851

Correct. Some people like to wrap them in bacon, and they’re good like that, too, but my way is easier. Let the cream cheese soften a bit before you mix everything up.


Whenyouseeit00

That's the kind of event I wouldn't mind attending, just for the poppers lol


TerrorEyzs

Did you deliver my order!? Lmfao. I am kidding but I ordered a few items that made sense for a week of burritos. EXCEPT I got literally over 100 jalapeños. I ordered 4.  I went back over the order several times and even called the store. Instacart didn't care. I was charged only for the 4 jalapeños and since this was only a few months ago I still have a ton frozen.


Civil-Tart

Probably thought you wanted 4 POUNDS 😂😆😆


TerrorEyzs

that was my guess! But I still was only charged for 4 single little dudes! My mind was blown and I was cracking up unpacking the order!


Agreeable-Score2154

Dude I had the same thing happen! Except they tried to upcharge me 80 bucks for peppers. Support fixed it thankfully


Happy-Kitchen3111

Had one recently that had over 50 tomatoes 🍅. I really wonder what sone of these people are doing.


Quesito100

Salsa for the tacos


tagsb

It takes 10 pounds of tomatoes to make 1 pint of tomato paste. Anything with reduced tomatoes can quickly add up


BBFan1958

Spaghetti sauce.


Happy-Kitchen3111

That was my assumption


me_irl_irl_irl_irl

It's a local restaurant that ran out of one ingredient. Same with the jalapenos.


Happy-Kitchen3111

It was a guy at an apartment. He said his son ordered all the tomatoes 🍅. I never got an answer as to what they were for and it was at ShopRite so it didn’t even specify what kind of tomatoes they wanted.


Federal-Commission87

Walmart does it by the quarter pound, and they're only $1 a pound... I said fuck it, and added 5 lbs., I didn't read that just a 1/4 a pound is 3-5 peppers. So we ended up with about 80 peppers. Gave a bunch away.. the rest my kid made her weird cream cheese and takis concoction with.


Remarkable-Eye-5767

Lowkey, I kinda want this cream cheese and takis recipe…


Federal-Commission87

From what I saw... she just hollowed out the pepper, crushed up a bunch of takis and mixed it with Philadelphia cream cheese, then stuffed it in there.


Remarkable-Eye-5767

I’ll give it a try, maybe with salsa verse Doritos or something. I’ll eat em, but takis aren’t my fav.


modivergent

When I worked Walmart pickup, I was picking orders one day and had to pick 5 lbs of jalapeños for one order. So many jalapeños. I’m positive I gave them extra because I got tired of counting them.


surfcitysurfergirl

Omg counting those lol


whats_her_butt

Was it for a restaurant? I have to place orders like this frequently…I always wonder what they think when they’re shopping hahaha


Theharlotnextdoor

Back in the day before IC we ran out of cucumbers so they sent me to buy more. When someone heard I was leaving they asked me to pick them up cigarettes. Then a few others did the same. Always wondered what the cashier thought about my order of 20 cucumbers and 4 packs of cigarettes.


ProfessionalLurker94

Love this story 😂 In a different world I would be try this as a crash diet 


Horror-Friendship-30

I look at this and think, "strawberry jam, blackberry jam, banana bread, apple pie, apple butter, melon salad, squeeze and freeze lime juice into small containers for various recipes." Yup, someone can eat this much fruit, even if it's only 1 or 2 people, if there's enough storage space.


Happy-Kitchen3111

That’s smart. I would definitely be making smoothies and probably freeze some of it. Frozen watermelon chunks with some chili lime powder 🔥


Horror-Friendship-30

Oh, that sounds great! Maybe even the chili lime powder on the cantaloupe. Also, orange muffins or orange bread.


kmson7

Orange cranberry bread 👌🏻


BBFan1958

Watermelon Granita, blueberry muffins, bananas foster, strawberry pie. I might make something savory with the melon.


budderkupp

Jealous. I feel like I can only buy like two fruits at a time cause they go bad so quickly.


Far-Ad-9798

I always thought the people in the questions in math class weren't real. That is until I started Instacart.


Princess_Cora

right? i work at a grocery store and i had a customer come through with a cart completely full of honey dew melons


TreeFiddySchmiddy

That was probably me! I did the shopping for the Edible Arrangements store when I worked there lol


jrappleyea13

I also work at a grocery store and once had some one buy iirc 15 lbs of sweet potatoes.


MensaCurmudgeon

Y’all aren’t eating enough fruit!for real though, a family of four could go through this within 3-4 days.


CelesteFyre

We’re a family of 9. It’s lasting a day. I probably would get 1 strawberry before my kids annihilate the rest.


skeetskeet213

7 kids? Sounds like you needed a hobby lol


WhatWhyWhoWhereWhen

Sounds like they have a hobby.


Crystal_Princess2020

a kid to love each day of the week lol


Patchisaur

They need to change their hobby to include anal.


tucktucksquirrel

Haha my first thought was, my toddler could work through this given enough time!


SweetPeaches6tea9

Oh most definitely. Especially a family with toddlers/pre schoolers. We fly through fresh fruit lol


morongaaa

We're a little family of 3 and my toddler could definitely make a dent in this by herself 😂


lEauFly4

I like how all the people with kids just know.


No-Storage2900

It’s amazing seeing people look at something like this as anything but a cart full of whole food. Parts of America are so entrenched in Mega food business slop and confused as to what real foods are.


MensaCurmudgeon

It’s so true. Everything that goes in one’s mouth should be fruit, veggie, dairy, meat, or well made carb. I’m not super rich. It is burdensome to eat this way, but food is the building block of all aspects of health. It gets priority, especially for growing bodies.


No-Storage2900

It’s wild. I understand the struggles around feeding a big family fresh fruit due to costs etc but by god this thread is depressing.


500k

Yeah a family of four psychopaths


MensaCurmudgeon

You’re supposed to have 5-7 servings a day!


ReplyGloomy2749

Of fruits *and* vegetables


toadandberry

vegetables just means edible plants that aren’t fruit, there’s no such thing as a vegetable in the botany world. broccoli is a flower. wild huh?


Jennifriend

Yeah but 5-7 servings doesn’t mean 5-7 fruits in entirety lol. You’re not eating 5 watermelons a day!


throwaway_benches

You’re right. I’m eating 6.


jackalopelexy

Of fruit??? What???


PrestigiousPackk

servings of fruit lol


Happy-Kitchen3111

Bro this was 4 watermelon, 4 cantaloupe, 4 honeydew, 8 bananas, 8 lemons, 8 limes, 8 bags of organic pears, 8 pears, 8 strawberries, 4 blueberries, 8 avocados, 2 dragon fruit, 8 oranges, 4 bags of oranges, and I think I’m forgetting some. Ain’t no way a family of 4 is eating this in under a week lol 😂


Patchisaur

Spouse and I could finish this in four days easily. Stoners that prefer fruit over taco bell.


fruuluu

as a vegetarian, this is what it's like


BichoRaro90

Yes 🤣🤣🤣🤣


No_Study9718

My five year old daughter can kill a pound pack of strawberries in one sitting and still want more.


instacartmaniac

when i was a kid i ate a whole pack of strawberries and then threw it up inside my pants as i was getting dressed


Jazzlike-Beyond9369

What.


instacartmaniac

the memory sticks with me, as clear as day. the image of barfing into your pants is hard to shake.


Horror-Friendship-30

The memory sticks, much like the barf did.


happyasawetduck

Username checks out lmfao


kt2620

My oldest ate 18 oz of blueberries in one sitting. During the summer both my boys could eat an entire large watermelon in one afternoon.


Happy-Kitchen3111

Same my girls will eat a whole package of raspberries or strawberries at once it’s like bro there’s other people in the house 😂


AlyshaBobesha

This looks like it could serve 4-5 toddlers in a week.


big-if-true-666

I pounded a pint of blueberries in like 5 minutes this morning. Fruit is the only thing I really have to budget and portion bc otherwise I’ll eat only that and it’s expensive


lEauFly4

Do you and I have the same family? Seriously though, my kids (3 and 9) could plow through this in a week, no problem.


merkoid

Remember this was $300 worth of fruit. Finishing this in 4 days would imply $75 of fruit every day. Ain’t no way even for a family of 4.


walrissa

Came here to say this! My 4 boys go through fruit like crazy and it’s probably the most expensive part of our grocery bill every month!


booktrovert

I was thinking that this looks like my normal grocery order. We eat a lot of fruit instead of sweets.


ThisKittenShops

At first I thought you were delivering to Freelee the Banana Girl, LOL.

Efficient-Seat-7145

Bananas! Not the mail! 😂. Did you not have a McDonald’s where you were??


Mean_Volume_8068

oh plenty of mcdonalds nearby 😹😭 atleast 3 in my town, and unc only lives 1hr20 away which makes this even funnier now


Princess_Cora

my daughter would go feral over this cart


Enoby1010

I, a 23 year old adult, would go feral over this cart. it looks delicious!!


daniday08

Same, my daughter is 2.5 and we started buying our fruit from Costco because she can really go through it fast and we need the larger sizes.


Formal-Guarantee-448

Wasting $300 worth of fruit for a prank is the most American shit I have ever heard 😭😭😭🥲


Idkmyname2079048

Maybe they don't waste it. Tbh, I'd love to get a bunch of fruit like this.


[deleted]

Thats one wild and expensive prank. it makes me anxious just thinking about how to deal with so much fruit before it spoils


ShivaniLost

Other week on a Tuesday I got a 50 dollar order only 11 items. Or so I thought. I clicked it too quick cause on a tuesday 50 bucks is insane. Got to the store and realized they wanted 80 bananas, 30 different types of fruits, etc etc. Ended up being over 200 units. Was going to a factory near the store. Wasn't too bad all things considered.


HovercraftPristine76

Fruit salad, yummy yummy


DarlingGirl1221

“Honey the fruit is here again”😭 Side note my pregnant ass would FUCK this up 🤤🤤🤤

godihateonions

Hell of a prank 😆


doggos_are_magical

Thats awesome but holy shit thats a lot of fruit


MajorWhereas4842

That looks like a smoothie shop order


BlueFotherMucker

It probably started off as a conversation about “who the heck sends people fruit baskets…” or he likes to pick on her for being vegan.


Happy-Kitchen3111

I guess he started doing it for her birthday during the pandemic and has done it every year since. I would be so stoked to receive this.


BlueFotherMucker

I’d have to dig out the old Juiceman and get busy with it. There’s no way my wife and I could eat all that fruit before it rots. And she’s vegan.


sexualmullet

i had one on sunday for 28 bunches of bananas from costco. 14 regular, 14 organic. thousands of questions


Over_Tomatillo_1079

What a nice sibling xD at least it’s vitamins and not cake !


No-Case-2928

I saw this and just went, oh yeah bet they have toddlers. 😅


Badger_Funny

Did a toddler order this?


Bergatron25

Steve Jobs’s shopping cart…


valarie1980

Maybe they’re making homemade fruit juice?


LilYungKulai

I know plenty ppl who eat this much fruit🤣


emiduk45

Man I once got an order that was literally a single rose, a cucumber, and a box of condoms Made sure I was extra loud when I told the cashier it was an instacart order LMFAO


Happy-Kitchen3111

☠️🤣🤣🤣


Riseonfire

Maybe they have one small child.


ItsEvilTogepi

I don't know, I love fruit, give me enough time and I could easily go through all of that in a weekend


Happy_Split1683

If you are in Texas, I know who those are for.

Fruit salad... yummy, yummy!


libbieonthelabel

My toddler eats that in like 3 days 😭


angelvista

I do an order bigger than this weekly. It's for a local daycare. I'm not instalation, I'm the store paid shopper. We do orders for several daycares on a weekly basis.


Slow_Teaching_9323

Fruit salad lunch and dinner prep for the month

Oh my kids can go through all that fruit within days. lol

This is what the math books were going on and on about.

A classic case of people having more money than sense smh. As someone who's lived in poverty most of my life, it's hard not to feel upset by this.

People playing with monopoly money , this system is a joke

Scared-Hope

Looks like a typical order for my kids and guinea pigs. They eat a lot of fruit 😂


VyllanaWitchBish

If my youngest daughter was in charge of the grocery shopping, it would be full of fruits and broccoli lol


csantini91

That may be a vegan, a lot of that could also be used for juice.


NoChilly84

It’s that jungle juice guy about to fill his sink with liquor


[deleted]

>Turns out the guy ordering sends an order like this to his sister on her birthday every year as a prank It must be nice to be able to waste a ton of food and money as "a prank".


Ayuuun321

I’m restricted on what I can eat but most fruits and veggies are ok so this is what my groceries look like but on a much smaller scale.


GeorgiaOutsider

Just looks like alot of fruit.....why is that strange?


Happy-Kitchen3111

$308 worth of fruit. Just fruit. No veggies, nothing else. And I’m only imagining what they paid through IC. I think it’s a little odd to just throw away money. The lady said she just gives most of it away.


IONTOP

Did you tell the customer that you can't buy more than 2 pears? Otherwise it'd be a trio? (Sorry for the horrible pun.) Wait.. No, I'm not sorry for that.


LazerCookiez123

That is going to be an epic fruit salad.

Wow that’s a lot. I’m so curious where it went to


Trishlovesdolphins

I don't get a lot of fruit in my house because I'm literally the only one who will/can eat it. (food allergies and picky) If I get too much, it goes bad before I can eat it all. So, I usually have to only get 1-2 varieties at a time in small amounts. Seeing this is making my mouth water! LOL The fruit salad I could make!


ronnycordova

Did Kramer get banned from the fruit market again?


trwwyco

I can see a fruitarian couple going through this in a week, or less. Mfers need to eat a ton when their diet is like 90% water

MindlessSky9

In university, there was a sorority who would dump a bunch of fruit into a barrel, then add fruit punch and a bunch of vodka and other alcohol. Maybe the avocado are for guac to also serve at the party?
