Being under quarantine means a lot less in-person grocery shopping for many of us. People have turned to online shopping and delivery for their groceries.
It’s convenient, but it also means you have to trust someone to pick your fruits and veggies for you.
The results are not always what you would normally get, as these forty people have learned.
Check out this produce!
That is one clove of garlic. One. If a vampire invasion happens, this person will already be completely protected – nothing else required.
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.
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.
Will that even fit in the refrigerator? Serious question!
When you order sweet potatoes, you generally expect more than one. Your expectations would be wrong.
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!
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.
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.
This giant sweet potato looks almost relaxed. Maybe that’s because it knows it couldn’t even fit into the pan to be roasted.
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.
2020 is the year of COVID-19 and giant sweet potatoes. Who saw that coming?
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.
This giant egg barely fits in the carton. On the upside, it will only take the one egg to make a giant omelet.
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?
That’s a blueberry. The apple is in the picture for size comparison.
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.
Long carrots are popping up everywhere. No one was expecting that in their delivery.
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.
This grape is so big that it’s almost losing its shape. Would you eat it?
The large onions are truly taking over. Here’s another one.
It’s not just the sweet potatoes. Ordinary potatoes are also getting large.
That’s enough cucumber for about twenty salads. The coin at the bottom is for size comparison.
The size of garlic this season is leaving everyone in awe. Bonus: it’s healthy.
This isn’t the only year of giant vegetables. This huge sweet potato is from a little over a decade ago.
