It is evident that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the way we study, work, celebrate, shop, and so much more.
According to the research article from Digital Commerce 360, “68% of shoppers buy groceries online for home delivery during the pandemic”.
Despite the security and comfort that online grocery shopping provides, consumers pointed out some disadvantages. The most common disadvantages to online food produce shopping are the shortage of available items or difficulty searching for them, receiving low-quality products they wouldn’t choose themselves, and wrong orders.
However, these 38 online shoppers shared their luck when they received their orders. Take a look at them here!
Maybe farmers switched to a different type of onion this year or left them growing for longer? We’re not sure what is going on.
Long carrots are popping up everywhere. No one was expecting that in their delivery.
That’s a blueberry. The apple is in the picture for size comparison.
That’s enough cucumber for about twenty salads. The coin at the bottom is for size comparison.
This isn’t the only year of giant vegetables. This huge sweet potato is from a little over a decade ago.
The last carrot probably won’t fit in the fridge. There’s a different problem with this one. We’re worried that it might require a chainsaw to cut through.
You thought you knew what you would be cooking for dinner tonight. Nope! The grocery picker has decided for you – you will be having leek, possibly for the next ten meals, or at least until it’s been cut down enough to fit into the crisper drawer.
There goes the cooking time. Usually, it’s easy enough to cook everything at the same time, especially if they’re all the same type of vegetable. Not in this case. That’s one piece of asparagus that may need a little extra time to sauté.
#9 Giant sweet potatoes everywhere
People all over Twitter are sharing pictures of their giant sweet potatoes. Where were all of these when we were shopping in person?
Of course, a mutant veggie or two needed to be shared as well. Here’s one carrot that is not going to win any competitions.
Onions are making it onto the list too. Where were all the giant vegetables hiding before this?
They’re all over the country. The giant onions are taking over!
That is one clove of garlic. One. If a vampire invasion happens, this person will already be completely protected – nothing else required.
A garlic a day keeps the coronavirus away. Okay, seriously, don’t quote us on that one; we don’t know of anything that truly prevents the spread of the virus, but this person is going to get to try it out and see.
#15 Large ordinary potato
It’s not just the sweet potatoes. Ordinary potatoes are also getting large.
This sweet potato with veins is worrying its new owner. If there is a spot in a horror movie for a sweet potato, we know which one will be getting the role.
There are a lot of giant strawberries out there. We wonder where the tiny ones have gone.
This is what happens when turnips are given extra time to grow. You almost have to wonder why farmers don’t let it happen more often.
This grape is so big that it’s almost losing its shape. Would you eat it?
Just so you don’t think it’s only fresh produce, this Reddit user had to remind us about the curly fries. Even the frozen food isn’t safe.
No, that’s not a slightly dark tomato. It’s a grape.
Maybe we’ve always had giant fruit, and no one stopped long enough to notice before quarantine. What are your thoughts?
You cannot post anything on the internet without someone eventually photoshopping it. We think we can spot what they changed.
The size of garlic this season is leaving everyone in awe. Bonus: it’s healthy.
Just so we know it was found during the coronavirus, this Reddit user had to include a Corona in the picture. We’ll accept that as proof!
The garlic really is giant. We didn’t even know garlic could get that big.
If you thought the other strawberries were big, that was only because you hadn’t seen this one yet. That’s almost enough for a meal!
This sweet potato might be record-breaking. Do you think it will fit in the oven?
When you go shopping on your own, you have the opportunity to select the perfect fruit. That is not how it is with grocery delivery.
Here is one rather perfect large strawberry. This one might actually be an award winner.
The dog seems unsure about that onion. We don’t blame him.
As kids, we were always looking for the biggest strawberry in the basket. The person picking the produce at the grocery store might be aware of this and has provided.
We can see why this one was snuck into the delivery. No one would buy it in person.
That’s a beetroot. We get the feeling that it could quickly take over the entire kitchen.
The large onions are truly taking over. Here’s another one.
Will that even fit in the refrigerator? Serious question!
This giant egg barely fits in the carton. On the upside, it will only take the one egg to make a giant omelet.
When you order sweet potatoes, you generally expect more than one. Your expectations would be wrong.
It is evident that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the way we study, work, celebrate, shop, and so much more.
