45 Things People Actually Ate in Colonial Times

Roasted Beaver Tails

Today, they’re usually a protected species, but in the 17th and 18th centuries, beavers were hunted all over North America for their pelts. Hungry trappers stuck out in the wilds didn’t want to waste any part of the beaver, so they ate the tails too.

It’s been described as having a gamey flavor, but it was pretty much just fat. It became a popular dish throughout colonial America — almost as popular as the beaver pelts they originally came from!

My My, Eel Pie

Not many people today would consider an eel to be a delicacy, but in colonial times, eels were considered to be such a desirable dish that people in New England would actually use lobsters as bait to catch them. Eel meat was eaten in a variety of ways, but a popular way to prepare it was in a pie.

If you’re keen on trying eel today, you might be interested to know that eels are still sold in shops in London and throughout England. Make a trip out there if you’re feeling brave enough to try something your great-great-great-grandparents had for special occasions!

Ambergris (AKA Whale Vomit)

You may have known that whale vomit has been a component of perfume for centuries, but did you know that in the 1700 and 1800s, it was a popular ingredient in many luxury dishes as well? It was used in beverages, served alongside eggs, or added to hot chocolate in not only America but also around the world.

Ambergris is actually very hard to find since it’s only produced by a small percentage of sperm whales. It forms on the ocean surface and floats, but will only rarely make landfall. Because of that, it’s been a very valuable substance for years.

Weird Ice Creams

You may not know that ice cream was first introduced in colonial America in the mid-18th century, but it was with the advent of ice houses where it could be made and stored. Ice cream was a popular dessert and even in the beginning, there were tons of delicious flavors available.

You may also not know that ice cream wasn’t all sweet at first — it was also flavored with eels, asparagus, or chestnuts, in addition to the normal sweet or fruity flavors.

Calves’ Feet Jelly

You may not think of animals when you think of a substance like Jell-O, but its main ingredient is gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen. Colonists took this gelatin and made what’s called calf’s foot jelly, which is exactly what it sounds like.

(Top) Shutterstock // Veronika Kovalenko | (Bottom) YouTube // Musée de Venoge

Believe it or not, calf’s foot jelly is still made in parts of the U.S. and around the world. You can find plenty of recipes online, and if you add sugar, it becomes a sweet dessert. Something to try next holiday?

Lobsters Were Really Cheap

Lobster isn’t an unusual food nowadays, but that’s not why we included it in this list. In colonial America, lobsters were a dime a dozen, and eating them regularly was a sign of being underclass. As mentioned above, they even used them as bait for eels!

(Top) Shutterstock // Morphart Creation | (Bottom) Shutterstock // Lynne Ann Mitchell

My, my — how the times have changed. Now, lobster is one of the most expensive kinds of seafood you can eat, and eels, well, let’s just say you won’t be buying a lobster to use as bait for one.

Clabber — It’s Basically Yogurt

Before you get scared off by the name (or the description for that matter), consider that yogurt is just fermented milk. We tend to be adverse to the concept of sour milk, but it’s actually used for plenty of delicious foods. One of those foods was clabber, which was very popular in colonial times.

(Top) Shutterstock // Spalnic | (Bottom) Shutterstock // SMarina

Before you toss your sour milk next time, check out some recipes for clabber. Colonists used to season it with nutmeg, cinnamon, or pepper. Sounds yummy!

Snake Meat Stew

Snakes have a long history of having an “icky” factor that keeps Americans from eating them, but that hasn’t always been the case. Remember that usually, colonists didn’t have the luxury of being picky, and they ate anything they could find. Well, one of those things was snake meat.

(Left) Shutterstock // Ken Griffiths | (Right) Pinterest // @gilda1003

Snake meat is pretty much tasteless and has a similar texture to some types of fish, so you could see how it wouldn’t be terrible in a soup if you could get past the fact that the snake is a disgusting creature.

Scrapple — Pig/Lamb Scraps

Remember how colonists couldn’t afford to waste any part of an animal? That included pigs, sheep, and cows — and for the first two, they’d take the leftover scraps and make what’s called scrapple. Essentially, it’s a meatloaf made from the ground up “extras,” like the snout, heart, brain, or eyes.

(Top) Shutterstock // Anne Coatesy | (Bottom) Pinterest // @dehavenphoto

This picture is actually lamb scrapple, but it’s the same idea. Scrapple is still made today, although, for the most part, we don’t use every part of the pig, like we used to.

Yes, They Ate Pigeons

Move over Mimi Siku, pigeons aren’t that weird of an animal to eat! Plentiful birds with a good amount of meat on them, pigeons were often enjoyed by colonists who didn’t have modern sensitivities about what they were eating. Most of the birds we eat now are fully domesticated.

(Left) Shutterstock // Colin Seddon | (Right) Facebook // Genesee Country Village & Museum

Just think of pheasant and you’ll see that eating a pigeon isn’t actually all that strange. It actually used to be an upper-class dish because of how much work it took to prepare.

Posset, a Type of Custard

Custard is still around today, and it often gets a bad rap for whatever reason. Some really like it, and then there are those that you couldn’t pay to eat it. Posset, the next item on our list, was another type of custard that colonists ate for dessert.

(Left) Shutterstock // Monkey Business Images | (Right) Facebook // Holt Garden Centre

It was also made as a delicious, sweet drink that colonists enjoyed serving at weddings and special celebrations. It was a very popular dish that everyone was crazy about!

Turtle Soup for the Soul

Nowadays, many species of turtle are endangered so it’s a little harder to find a soup made from them, but they didn’t have this problem in 18th century America. Turtle soup was a very popular dish among the rich and upper-class, usually made from snapping turtles.

(Left) Shutterstock // Shane Myers Photography | (Right) Facebook // The Cajun Keto Chef

Turtle soup was actually eaten up until the 1920s when better tasting and easier-to-prepare meats began making their way onto dinner tables around the country. Do you think it’ll ever make a comeback?

A Hard Bread Called Hardtack

The quintessential soldier’s food, hardtack has been around for centuries in some form or another. Basically, an unleavened bread (almost a cracker), hardtack has been favored by navies and armies because of how long it will keep for and how it’s relatively easy to pack into a bag and carry.

(Top) Shutterstock // Picture Partners | (Bottom) Facebook // White Stars, Black Sea

Soldiers in the U.S. Army still get something like hardtack in their MREs (Meal, Ready to Eat), but it’s called crackers now. Some things never change, do they?

American as Apple Pie

Not everything on this list is supposed to be weird or gross. Colonial Americans loved apple pie, even though apples are native to Europe. Apples grew well in the colonies because the fruit can survive the harsh winters, and Americans took the apples and made pies much like we still enjoy today.

(Top) Shutterstock // JeniFoto | (Bottom) Shutterstock // Brent Hofacker

Apple pie back then probably wasn’t as sweet as it is now, since sugar was often a luxury and very expensive. However, it was still seasoned with nutmeg or cinnamon, and we’re sure it was just as delicious as we know it is today!

Hardened Bear Fat

Ok, so colonists didn’t technically just munch on a piece of hardened bear fat. However, colonists in wilder parts of the country would often kill bears for food, and they’d melt their fat down to make a shortening-like substance, which they’d then use for cooking and baking.

(Top) Shutterstock // Sergey Uryadnikov | (Bottom) Reddit // u/Edgar_The_Horrible

Apparently, it’s very good for frying, and it doesn’t go bad as quickly as pork fat, so some colonists even found it to be a better alternative. Bear fat is still used by some people for cooking and baking today. Who knew?

Biscuits and Gravy

Many people today still love to have biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast, but it was still a very popular dish back in colonial times. It actually made its appearance as a southern dish shortly after the Revolutionary War, but it hasn’t changed much since that time.

(Top) Shutterstock // Charles Brutlag | (Bottom) Facebook // Lamplight: Cafe & Deli

This is one of the foods on this list that has stood the test of time. If something’s not broken, don’t fix it, as the saying goes.

Not Your Normal Katchup

Oh cool, you’re probably thinking, colonials enjoyed some condiments with their food? That’s no typo, though — katchup isn’t the tomato-based sauce we use nowadays. Katchup in colonial America was a sauce made from mushrooms, walnuts, anchovies, or oysters.

Twitter // @DrLindseyFitz

As a matter of fact, tomatoes were considered poisonous by many Americans during the 18th century, and a type of modern-day ketchup didn’t appear in America until around the time of the Civil War.

Mutton — Old Sheep Meat

Sheep were incredibly valuable to families in the 18th century because of their wool, which could provide clothes for everyone in the household. However, once their wool became inferior due to old age, they were slaughtered and their meat — mutton — became their final gift to their family.

(Top) Facebook // Pipers Farm | (Bottom) Shutterstock // Thasneem

The rest of the sheep would often be used in a similar way to scrapple, but mutton remains a popular meat to this day. It’s technically meat from a sheep that’s over a year old.

Pease Porridge Hot or Cold

It’s not just a nursery rhyme — pease porridge was a popular dish in colonial times because of how plentiful the ingredients were. Also known as pease pudding, it was made of boiled legumes with a boiled ham or bacon joint added for flavor.

(Left) Shutterstock // larik_malasha | (Right) Pinterest // @kykidd

Split pea soup remains a popular dish today, and it’s very similar to the way it would have been made back in the 18th century. Nothing beats it on a cold winter’s day!

Roast Squirrel Meat

Rodents are plentiful, and squirrels in America are definitely no exception. Colonists, particularly those in the unsettled parts of America, often trapped and ate squirrels roasted over an open fire. How on Earth do you catch them, though? They’re so fast!

(Top) Shutterstock // Edwin Godinho | (Bottom) Pinterest // @slempm

Yeah, little buddy, we’re shocked too. Squirrel meat was served in pies, in stews, or simply fried. Squirrel-hunting was a particularly enjoyed pastime in Connecticut.

Stewed Swan Meat

The next entry on our list is stewed swan, which we admittedly don’t see much of these days. Swans are usually seen as a symbol of nature’s beauty, so we hesitate to eat them nowadays. Colonists didn’t have those same sensitivities, so they’d often eat stewed swan.

(Left) Wikimedia Commons // David Teniers the Younger // CC0 1.0 | (Right) Shutterstock // rsooll

When you think about it, a swan is pretty much like a goose, and those get eaten all the time. Apart from stewing, early Americans would also roast them. Something to try next Thanksgiving?

Syllabub — Whipped Cream Dessert

Syllabus, no relation, is the thing your college professor gives you at the beginning of the year that you probably never read. Syllabub, on the other hand, was a whipped cream dessert similar to custard that was a big hit among colonial Americans.

(Left) Shutterstock // bonchan | (Right) Shutterstock // Jack Cobben

Surprisingly enough, you can still find various syllabub recipes today! Who’s trying it for dessert this week?

Tripe, Animal Stomach Lining

You may have heard of tripe before as an example of something gross your mother threatened to make you eat (mixed with liver probably), but tripe was quite a popular dish in colonial times. It’s the soft lining of animal stomachs like cows or deer.

(Left) Shutterstock // Andrew Swinbank | (Right) Facebook // Muchi’s kitchen

Believe it or not, tripe is actually very healthy. It’s rich in selenium, zinc, and vitamin B12. Maybe that’s how colonists got their daily dose of vitamins.

Other Kinds of Porridge

Porridge was a very popular breakfast dish in the 18th century because of how easy it was to prepare and how plentiful the ingredients were.

(Left) Shutterstock // New Africa | (Right) Shutterstock // sharshonm

Porridge is usually made from ground corn, but it’s really any sort of ground-up vegetable that’s been mashed up with milk or water. Oatmeal is a type of porridge, but not all porridge is made from oats.

Ash Cake/Bread

Tragically, slavery was a part of life in southern colonial America, and slaves had to eat too. A popular food among them was ash cake or ash bread, which was a corn-based bread that was baked in a pile of ashes from a fire.

(Left) Shutterstock // SpelaG91 | (Right) Pinterest // @OutdoorLifeMagazine

You can still find recipes for ash cakes today among outdoor enthusiasts, and it’s a quick easy meal to make if you’re camping or outdoors in the wilderness.

Molasses, Syrup From Sugar

Another key ingredient in many colonial dishes was molasses — a thick, brown syrup that’s a byproduct of refining sugar cane into sugar. Molasses in rum was very popular until Great Britain passed the Molasses tax, one of the taxes which ultimately led to the American Revolution.

(Left) Shutterstock // Brent Hofacker | (Right) Wikimedia Commons // Jan Brandes // CC0 1.0

Once molasses started being taxed, many colonists found a different vice. Molasses has never been as popular in the U.S. as it once was because of it.

Pokeweed

Have you ever heard of pokeweed? We didn’t before now. It turns out that roots, leaves, and berries of common pokeweed were used medicinally by both the Native Americans and colonists to treat various types of conditions — from a headache to a cough, and more. Of course, colonists also ate pokeweed.

(Left) Shutterstock // Penny Hicks | (Right) Pinterest // @Wild Abundance

Considering that this kind of herbaceous perennial plant is poisonous, though, people that used or ate pokeweed had to boil the shoots and leaves in water several times prior to consuming it. Very interesting…

Cooked Chitlins (Pig Intestines)

Lower-class Americans, especially in the south, had food that was often made from pigs, and this included every part of the pig. Chitlins were cooked pig intestines, and they were a popular dish among the lower classes in the southern colonies.

(Left) Shutterstock // Narong Khueankaew | (Right) Pinterest // @allrecipes

You can still find chitlins to make today at butcher shops, and it’s often called chitterlings as well. It’s most often fried up or boiled, and served with vinegar and/or hot sauce. Delish!

Fried Chicken Livers

As already mentioned several times, the lower classes needed to use every part of an animal to stretch out the amount of food they got out of it, and chickens were no exception. Out of the chicken’s organs, one popular dish was fried chicken livers.

(Left) Shutterstock // MadisonRae | (Right) Shutterstock // Timolina

Chicken livers are actually very healthy, and you can still find them today if you’re feeling culinarily adventurous. Serve them with sauteed mushrooms and onions for a tasty, different meal!

Roasted Opossum Meat

Opossums, which are native to North America, have the distinction of being America’s only marsupial, which means they’re related to kangaroos. This didn’t stop colonists from roasting them, however, and opossums were a popular game animal throughout the colonies.

(Left) Shutterstock // Karel Bock | (Right) Pinterest // @oinvu4uraqt

Nowadays, the only time people see opossums may be at night or as roadkill, but they were once a popular dish in the 18th century. We wouldn’t recommend trying to bring back their popularity!

Yes, Raccoon Meat Too

Even though we jokingly refer to them as trash pandas, if there’s anything we’ve learned by now, it’s that no food sources were off-limits for colonial Americans. Raccoons were trapped and use for meat as well as opossums and squirrels, although this was also mainly done by lower classes.

(Left) Shutterstock // Conservationist | (Right) Pinterest // @realtree

Raccoon is still eaten in parts of the U.S. today, and its meat has been described as greasy and similar to dark-meat off a chicken. It can be roasted, boiled, added to a stew, or just eaten with vegetables and a side.

Cornbread, Another American Classic

Colonists ate a lot of cornbread, but you may not be aware that this delicious type of bread was actually adopted from Native American diets. Corn was a staple among Native American tribes, and it was ground up into a meal and used to bake bread all the time.

(Left) Shutterstock // Oporty786 | (Right) Facebook // South Your Mouth

Colonists adopted Native Americans’ affinity for corn as well as a number of other fruits and vegetables they enjoyed, like squash and beans.

Pepper Cake

Pepper was an exotic spice first making its way to Europe in the 18th century, and anything that was in vogue in Europe was quickly adopted in the American colonies as well. Though we wouldn’t think of it as a spice for sweets today, that didn’t stop colonists from baking it into a cake.

(Left) Shutterstock // rishi07 | (Right) Pinterest // @cooktogether

According to Martha Washington’s book — Booke of Cookery — pepper cakes weren’t just delicious, they would last for months if stored at the right temperature. For a time without preservatives, that’s not bad!

Sassafras Tree Leaves

You may have heard of sassafras tea, but in the 18th century, it was a normal part of people’s diet. They’d often add it as part of stews or creole dishes, like gumbo, and it was a regular part of Native Americans’ diet as well. It’s a leafy green vegetable.

Shutterstock // J K Laws

What you may not know is that sassafras was a popular remedy for syphilis in 18th century England, so the colonies became a pretty big exporter of the leafy green.

Tongues of Every Kind

We’ve seen multiple times already how the colonists liked to use every part of the animal, and the tongue was absolutely no exception. They’d roast it, boil it, or chop it up and fry it, and pretty much every animal that had a large tongue was fair game.

(Left) Shutterstock // Peter Bino Wild Nature | (Right) Pinterest // @healthyrecipes

Nowadays, you don’t see tongue very much but it’s still grilled, fried, braised, or pickled and served in a variety of ways. When cooked correctly, it can be a slice of very flavorful meat.

Jellied Moose Nose

Colonists sure loved their jellies made from various melted down animal parts, and moose were a plentiful animal. Put both those facts together and you inevitably get something like jellied moose nose. It was made by boiling the upper jaw of the moose, then taking the meat, and letting it sit overnight in moose broth.

(Top) Pinterest // @theatlantic | (Bottom) Pinterest // @officialwideopeneats

You can still find recipes to make this interesting dish online, but it might be harder to actually find a moose. However, we see no reason why you can’t also make this from pig snout or a cow nose.

Salted Fish

Salting is an ancient method of preserving meat for a long period of time; the salt acts as a natural preservative and meats that have been salted can last for months when stored in a cool basement. This is mainly how Americans used to store their food over the winter.

Shutterstock // Fuzull Hanum

Salted fish is only one of essentially any sort of meat product that could have been salted. Americans also salted beef, pork, and venison to help feed their families through the long, cold winter.

Humble (or Umble) Pie

Another decidedly lower-class dish was humble pie, or as it was otherwise known, umble pie. Basically, it was made from whatever leftovers there were of an animal (typically the innards) and mixed up with apples, sugar, and spices to make a meal.

(Left) Shutterstock // Olek Lu | (Right) Pinterest // @bbcfood

Humble pie is actually a very old dish, with records of it existing back to the middle ages. The upper classes would feast on the meat of the animal, while the peasants would get what was left and make it into a filling pie.

Hasty Pudding

Another type of mush (porridge) was hasty pudding, which was made from corn or flour, mixed with boiling water or milk, and eaten while warm. It was so named because it was quick to make, and it was a popular breakfast food both in America and in England.

Shutterstock // Alp Aksoy

American hasty pudding was usually made with ground Indian corn, not flour. Since corn wasn’t a huge crop in England, it wasn’t necessarily as popular.

Plum Cake (AKA Election Cake)

Plum cake has been around for centuries, and it’s usually made with some sort of berry, although the specific ingredients vary by region of the world. American plum cakes were made with various types of fruit, so it’s probably what you’d consider fruitcake today.

Shutterstock // Aksana Yasiuchenia

It was also served at elections, so it came to be known as election cake. Before the Revolutionary War, they were called muster cakes because they were made for the men called to drill with the British Army. It’s had a lot of names!

Partridge

Partridges are medium-sized birds, with a wide native distribution throughout Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. During colonial times, these non-migratory birds were a popular choice when it came time for a nutritious meal.

(Left) Shutterstock // Simon Bratt | (Right) Pinterest // @huntgathercook

Although this kind of meat isn’t a household staple nowadays, there are plenty of recipes you can find. The meat is supposedly delicate and tender — plus it’s quick and easy to cook! It’s full of flavor but not too gamey. And partridge happens to be a healthier option than most farmed meats!

Good English Tea

A list about 18th century American cuisine wouldn’t be complete without mentioning tea. It started a revolution and a whole new country! Americans before the war really loved English tea, just like their brothers and sisters across the ocean. That’s why the tea tax was such a slap in the face.

(Left) Shutterstock // DONOT6_STUDIO | (Right) Facebook // Boston Tea Party 250

Once the British started taxing tea heavily, Americans were done with the stuff. They replaced it with a beverage that they didn’t have to depend on foreign imports for, and we still drink it to this day…

Thank the Colonists for Coffee!

Coffee is a decidedly American drink, although it was originally from Ethiopia. After Americans wouldn’t buy the King’s tea anymore, they switched to coffee, and it was off to the races from there. Before then, coffee was more time-consuming to make than tea, but they would enjoy a cup at a coffeehouse.

(Top) Shutterstock // Ilja Generalov | (Bottom) Shutterstock // Evgeny Karandaev

Coffee was a status symbol in colonial America; it wasn’t as expensive as tea, but it did require more effort to prepare. Ever since, coffee has been a staple in the American diet.

Sturgeon

While fish is still a very popular dish of choice today, we bet that many of you have never tried sturgeon. It’s okay — neither have we. When the first English settlers in the New World founded the colony of Jamestown, they caught a gigantic sturgeon from the James River.

(Top) Twitter // @Zootaxa | (Bottom) Shutterstock // kravastudio

At that point in time, colonists had more than enough of this type of fish to go around. In fact, according to John Smith, “We have more sturgeon, can consume as humans and dogs.”

Perry — Fermented Pear Drink

Pears were another plentiful fruit in colonial AmericaPerry is a fermented beverage made from pears, and it made its way over from England and France to the American colonies, where colonists enjoyed it every now and then.

Shutterstock // Tikiro

For some reason, apple beverages are more popular than pear-based beverages nowadays in the U.S. We’re not sure why, but this perry stuff sure sounds delicious!

45 People Order Something and, Were Surprised When Their Request Was Taken Literally

45 People Order Something and, Were Surprised When Their Request Was Taken Literally

Ordering food is the most convenient way to fill your tummy with what you desire. Some chefs and restaurants do take your words seriously in order to satisfy your cravings. However, you know some people really take your order into concern when you’re served what you asked for to the tee. Well, with an extra dose of love! Keep on reading to know what hilarious dishes these people were served!

Could This Get Any Larger!

Extras are everyone’s favorite! Be it an extra-large pizza, a drink, or anything else — the more, the merrier. But, this cup of cold brew coffee exceeds all limits.

Could This Get Any Larger!

A girl from fifth grade actually ordered this iced coffee with anything and everything that she could think of. Unfortunately, the OP got stuck with the job of making this sugar-filled treat, even though he only had five minutes left in his shift.

No Space for Waste!

Do you ever wonder where the holes of donuts go, or what happens to the rest of the donuts when you only buy the donut hole treats? Most probably, the excess gets wasted, but not in this case!

No Space for Waste!

This person ordered a dozen donut holes from this bakery, and was thrilled when they realized that they got a bonus of 12 donuts! That’s kind of similar to asking for a TV remote and then getting the whole TV! Not a bad day for this dude.

A Saucy Stock!

Ever wondered how many extra hot sauce packets you can get from a restaurant? No? Why not try out your luck like this enthusiastic individual? This person went to Taco Bell and literally asked for three of all of their hot sauces, and man!

A Saucy Stock!

They delivered! Either Taco Bell was overflowing with hot sauce or the employees were just feeling extra generous that day. Either way, if you want to get counting on those packets of hot sauces, then why not just ask for them?!

Go Green

Eating greens should always be a top priority as they’re the ultimate source of profuse vitamins, minerals, fiber, and whatnot. So, when someone orders something green, why not make their lives greener! Now, that’s another level of customer service altogether.

Go Green

This individual went to a restaurant and asked for extra veggies on his whitefish salad bagel sandwich. The restaurant gave him what he wanted. They turned this sandwich into a beautiful farm of produce and vegetables!

Eggcellent

When you order fried rice with extra eggs, what do you expect? Fried rice with a side of eggs, or eggs with a side of fried rice? Well, if you’re into eggs, then this hilarious one is sure to increase your appetite. This person ordered some extra eggs and, as you can see, this fried rice came completely dressed up in scrambled.

Eggcellent

That’s literally a whole dozen eggs! Next time, when you want to taste an omelet, why not order a bowl of fried rice with extra eggs? Surely, that will be an eggcellent experience.

Extra Crunchy

Pancakes are usually light, fluffy, and delicious with crisp edges. But, what if someone only wants the crisp? This employee made this edges-only pancake for an unruly customer. The customer surely got what he wanted.

Extra Crunchy

Let’s be honest for a few seconds — most restaurants face such complaining customers who always want things to be crispier than their suntanned skin. This suits them best. The next time you have an order like this, take a page from the OP’s book. Who knows? The customer may end up liking it!

Who Doesn’t Like Some Fried Goodness?

Munching on fried food is straight-up heavenly, but have you ever tried fried pickles? Perhaps you have, although this is the first we’re hearing of it. Anyway, this OP ordered dinner from a restaurant that was only serving fried pickles as a side, because they were about to close for the night.

Who Doesn’t Like Some Fried Goodness?

It definitely sounds like an interesting snack — sour and savory — but we think we’d be over it after the fifth one. So, our question is, did this OP even finish all 100?

High on Lime

It can’t be denied that some people are rather obsessed with lime. There are even those that like to eat and suck on the extra limes that come with their coke or cocktail. This time, this bartender took his customer’s request to the next level; he truly outdid himself.

High on Lime

You heard the lady! She says she wants “like a tonnnnnn of limes!” We think it’s safe to say that this bartender delivered, and we’re sure he gave his customer a good laugh after she realized just how literally he had taken her request.

Go Big or Go Home!

Bored with the regular-sized French fries? Then, why not take some inspiration from this post? This person brought this packet of frozen fries, which you can see have been enlarged in the picture in order to show the texture.

Go Big or Go Home!

It turns out that by enlarging the picture, the fries themselves were enlarged too! We’re only kidding, but we do have to admit that this company deserves respect and kudos for delivering on its promises! The fries are just as big in real life as they are in the picture, which is rare!

An Extra of Everything

Chipotle does have quite a lot of toppings and options. Still, has it ever occurred to you what would happen if you ordered extra of everything? That’s what this brave woman did. She went to Chipotle and ordered extra everything, and ended up with this massive monster.

An Extra of Everything

The monster-sized burrito is as big as this gal’s forearm! Can we just take a couple of minutes to appreciate the workmanship — despite this burrito’s size, the employee still managed to wrap it up to perfection!

Why Be So Shy on the Bacon?

When people think of salads, they normally imagine all types of fresh vegetables. Have you ever had the question arise in your mind — can a salad ever be unhealthy? This individual asked for a salad without tomatoes.

Why Be So Shy on the Bacon?

The waiter asked, “Is bacon okay?” The person jokingly replied, “All the bacon!” This entire conversation resulted in a plate of bacon bits. It’s questionable as to whether or not this dish can actually be called a salad, but if you’re a bacon person, then you are surely in for a treat!

The Carbohydrate Platter

Restaurants serve all types of dishes, with all different kids of components. Most times, each dish features some sort of carb, protein, and healthy side.

The Carbohydrate Platter

This OP opted for more potatoes, rather than a side of fruit. The server took this request to the max — and then some. This dude was served more potatoes than his tummy can probably fit. At least, though, his preferences were taken into consideration.

It’s All About the Sauce Bath

Fries can come with all sorts of delicious toppings — cheese, bacon bits, gravy, and more. But, how much is enough? This person literally got the answer to this curious question when he was served a box full of gravy with a side of fries.

It’s All About the Sauce Bath

We hate to say it but this dish looks far from appetizing, and it can’t be so healthy either. Let’s just hope the OP ate the potatoes before they got too soggy!

Chocolatey Heaven

Waffle House is one of the best breakfast places when you’re looking for something to satisfy that morning sweet tooth of yours! We mean, who doesn’t like waffles?! Plus, when your server takes your order and runs with it, then there’s really no better place to be.

Chocolatey Heaven

This person went to his closest Waffle House to order the most chocolately waffle he could imagine — and voilà! Waffle House did not disappoint!

A Promise Well Kept

Some people love their marzipan more than their own lives. If you’re putting it on a cake, marzipan lovers want that layer to be as thick as possible. This couple didn’t disappoint the marzipan lovers of the world. This OP made their annual Christmas cake — but this time with a thick layer of marzipan for her partner because she promised it.

A Promise Well Kept

That’s true love, folks. A thick layer of marzipan never really hurt anyone. If you’re someone who’s into this thick layer of goodness, then why not ask your partner for this kind of treat for Christmas?!

This Beast Is Cheesier

As the time of humanity’s existence on Earth slowly increases, so does the sizes of burgers. People want more meat between those soft, fluffy burns. Oftentimes, there’s a demand for extra cheese.

This Beast Is Cheesier

Take our OP, for instance, who asked for extra cheese. Now, look how cheesy this Cali burger came out! Some might find this to be way too greasy while others dream of being able to eat this every day!

Your Wish, Their Feta

All the smart people know that Greek salad is nothing without feta cheese. Cheese makes everything better, and this is no exception. This OP asked for some extra feta on his salad. He actually ordered, “A little extra.”

Your Wish, Their Feta

Does this seem like a little to you? It doesn’t to us, although it does scream deliciousness! If you’re a noob at eating salads, then add some extra feta, and you shall have your bliss. This restaurant surely had a big stock of feta to serve the OP this much!

Who’s Up for a Swim?

Have you ever tried hashbrowns with sausage gravy? If not, then this is the time! Try it. According to this individual, the local family-diner in town served him this mouth-watering dish — hashbrowns with extra sausage gravy for dipping.

Who’s Up for a Swim?

This person just wished for something, and the sweet family delivered out of the goodness of their hearts. That’s why folks should support their local businesses!

Order Taken Literally

There are moments in your life when you order something and do not get what you really wanted, but you can’t really complain as the food was delivered exactly as you asked. This is one of those moments.

Order Taken Literally

The customer asked for cheese on the side. This chef delivered it with the utmost accuracy. A slice of cheese on the side of the burger! What you want is what you get. There’s no complaining!

Does it Get Any Hotter?

When the chef comes out of the kitchen to cheer you up as you cry whilst eating your burrito, there’s no doubt that there’s something wrong with it. This brave soul ordered his burrito in the hopes that the level of spice would knock his socks off!

Does it Get Any Hotter?

The chef literally outdid himself by using this 357 Hot Sauce. There are no words to describe just how hot this sauce is and so, it’s no wonder why the OP shed a few tears.

A Bacon Lover’s Dream Come True

A bacon burger usually features a few pieces of bacon atop a beef burger in between two buns. But, what if you were served a burger with bacon and no buns? That would be one heck of a crunchy treat, for sure! This person ordered a bacon burger.

A Bacon Lover’s Dream Come True

The chef cooked up all the bacon and placed it on the patty. That’s a treat even Satan would surrender to. The chef knows what he’s doing. A bacon burger surely should have this much bacon! The customer left happily satisfied!

Take the Whole Thing

Imagine you get an entire bottle of ketchup from a restaurant instead of just two to three small packets. Most restaurants are not even generous enough to include napkins in the order. However, this customer surely got a win-win deal when he asked for “a side of ketchup.”

Take the Whole Thing

This came out as an absolutely amusing joke when the person was given a whole, unopened bottle of ketchup. Restaurants should start getting generous with the portions of their meals and sauces.

Santa Fulfills the Sweet Tooth Cravings

Christmas is full of hope, promises, and wishes. This person’s daughter asked for an enormous giant cherry Pop-Tart from Santa Claus. Santa Claus surely heard her prayers as her parents made her this giant tart, which looks as if it’s been freshly delivered from the North Pole.

Santa Fulfills the Sweet Tooth Cravings

When you have such sweet parents around to fulfill your wishes, who needs Santa? If Santa doesn’t come in through the chimney, there’s nothing to worry about. You got Santa’s elves right at home!

Nutty Latte

Lattes are such a great treat for all people with a sweet tooth, but this person ordered something that we’d probably only feed to the people that bullied us in high school. This guy ordered a latte with nuts, which is pretty standard — and cucumber?! Uh, what?

Nutty Latte

Although the person sounded sure in what they wanted, this barista was utterly shocked upon receiving the request. Then again, the customer is always right… even if their taste preferences are wrong!

Sneaky Treats

Bakeries are sometimes so generous that they put some extra donut holes in your box. This type of unexpected treat — and kind gesture — is what keeps humanity alive, and hope in the world. keeping humanity alive. This person went to the baker and politely asked for an extra one.

Sneaky Treats

Rather than taking the customer’s request at face value, the Dunkin’ Donuts employee went the extra mile and stuffed the box with tons of Munchkins! We’re sure this made the OP’s day!

A Little Cheese Doesn’t Hurt No One

If you’re one of those die-hard cheese lovers, then there’s nothing more delightful than the term “extra cheese” — and so, this great ravioli dish is most likely going to make your eyes pop and mouth salivate.

A Little Cheese Doesn’t Hurt No One

This guy asked for some extra cheese on his ravioli and that’s exactly what he got. It was loaded with an astounding amount of cheese. Normally, this much cheese isn’t given, but we guess the waiter was feeling particularly generous.

Pies for the Little Tummies

Humans love it when they’re given something for free and in large amounts. Can you think of the last time that you were provided something extra? In case you can’t, you can just live vicariously through this OP’s experience.

Pies for the Little Tummies

This person ordered pies for his 10-year-old. As it was right before closing, this McDonald’s branch delivered 14 pies rather than the two that was requested. Not only is this a great way to save food from being wasted, but it also made this OP and their 10-year-old extremely happy.

With a Cherry on Top?

Maracino cherries are these small pockets of sweetness that burst into your mouth. While some people can’t stand them, others can’t get enough! This person was surely surprised when he ordered a cherry coke and instead received a glass of coke topped with tons of cherries!

With a Cherry on Top?

Then again, while cherry coke is a thing that exists, it’s not very a common choice. And so, the bartender made do with what he had.

One Big Donut

Children are really clever — much more than we think. They always have all these weird ideas in their minds. If they want something, they get it. This kid’s cleverness is surely to bring a smile to his mother’s face.

One Big Donut

He was told that he could only order one donut. He followed the rules and ordered only one donut but with a little twist. He chose the biggest one he could find! Of course, because the move was so well-played, this little dude’s mama couldn’t be too mad.

Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair!

It’s not just kids that have an imagination; adults, too, have imaginations that can run wild! This mama bear here actually proved herself to be a Fairy Godmother of sorts by making this enchanting Rapunzel cake for her daughter’s birthday.

Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair!

We all know that Rapunzel was hidden away in a tower. This cake actually does justice to the plot of the story. If you have a daughter of your own, use this post as inspiration for your own ideas!

Extra Cheese or Extra Crust?

Have you ever mistakenly ordered something and ended up getting exactly what you asked for? While that’s usually a good thing, sometimes it can be totally tragic, like in this case. This person was not in his right mind while ordering extra crust on his pizza, instead of extra cheese.

Extra Cheese or Extra Crust?

You would expect the restaurant to realize the mistake! However, this pizza joint actually delivered this guy a pizza with a really big crust. He got what he ordered, not what he wanted. This result looks absolutely hilarious, to be honest. Poor soul! Then again, if you’re a crust person, this might just be the perfect pie for you.

Drawing Turned Into Food

Children like to draw all sorts of images, including foods. This kid drew a donut that he claimed to be the very best. Moreover, he even wrote a small description of all the things that he wanted on his donut. Guess what?

Drawing Turned Into Food

The local donut shop actually turned his drawing into reality. From the blue frosting to the little chunks of Oreos and M&M’s — they kept all of that in mind and made this kid’s drawing come to life. Bravo to the bakers for the amazing work!

Spice it Up!

Did you ever think that a restaurant would take revenge upon you? If not, then hear this out. They might! This person said that the Pad Thai he had previously ordered from this place wasn’t spicy enough and so, he wanted it spicier this time around.

Spice it Up!

In response to that, the staff at the restaurant did what they could to make this request happen. Judging from the amount of times they logged ‘spicy’ into the system, though, we can only hope the OP in question didn’t regret his order too much.

Who Wants Whole Chicken Pizza?

Choosing between a chicken and pizza is a tough decision to make. While this lady was in Israel, she ordered a pizza pie with chicken as a topping — or should we say a pizza topped with a whole chicken?

Who Wants Whole Chicken Pizza?

To some people, this might seem to be a crime worth being executed for. Ordering both is surely hilarious, but if you’re into having both of them at the same time and not missing out on any of them, then this dish is absolutely for you.

Shape Doesn’t Matter

At this point, it’s probably clear to most of you that size doesn’t matter. On the other hand, if you’re not picky about the shape of your food, then why not try out a few new cuts of sandwiches today?

Shape Doesn’t Matter

This person had his sandwich cut into these weird shapes, unlike the regular triangular or half-and-half shapes in which sandwiches are usually cut. As this isn’t illegal, there should be no limits in what shape you cut your food in. As long as it tastes good, every shape will do!

Side Onion Dish

Usually, when you ask for something that’s a little extra in a restaurant, you don’t really expect that they would give you an entire dish of what you asked for. Surprisingly, this is exactly what happened here.

Side Onion Dish

They just asked for a little extra onion on the side and the restaurant decided to just give them a whole plate of onions! We definitely wouldn’t say no to that.

A Dozen Tacos, Twice

When ordering food at a fast-food restaurant, there’s always a chance you’ll be misheard or misunderstood because there’s so much going on. In this case, however, the customer can’t really complain about the staff not giving them what they wanted.

A Dozen Tacos, Twice

The only thing is that they gave them way too many! This customer asked for 12 tacos at Jack in the Box at 2 AM. Instead, they got 24 just because someone mistakenly placed the order twice.

Fire Sauce

Taco Bell is known for its special condiment called Fire Sauce. While we really don’t understand what all the fuss is about — since, to us, it tastes just like any other spicy sauce — some people seem to really crave it.

Fire Sauce

This customer asked for as much fire sauce as possible without causing the Taco Bell employee to lose their job, and they got no less than 243 packets! We have absolutely no idea what they’re going to do with them.

Extra Large Tomato

We’ve always wondered where these fast-food restaurant chains get those weird vegetables from. This is obviously a very unusual tomato. We wonder if they actually got it from Chernobyl or somewhere close.

Extra Large Tomato

The poor guy just asked for a couple of extra slices of tomato and instead, they just shoved this monstrous slice of tomato into his burger. We wouldn’t have dared to eat it. After all, it could be radioactive, considering its extreme size and dubious origins.

A Sandwiched Bagel

It seems that, sometimes, you really don’t have a choice but to be very specific about what you order. This customer asked for a breakfast sandwich in a bagel. Well, technically, that’s what he got.

A Sandwiched Bagel

What he actually wanted to do is to replace the English muffin with a bagel. But, when the people who work at fast-food restaurants have so many orders to handle, we guess they just don’t have the time to stop and actually think about people’s requests.

Miniscule Pizza

Oftentimes, it’s hardly the customer’s fault for not getting what they ordered. Usually, it’s the restaurant employee who messes up. In this case, however, the customer is to be blamed.

Miniscule Pizza

This customer originally wanted to order a 12-inch pizza, but then quickly changed their mind and wanted a 10-inch pizza instead. It seems that, while typing the order, they forgot to put a zero and this is what they got. This could perhaps be the smallest pizza in the world.

Avocado on the Side

Avocado could easily be humanity’s most favorite fruit. At least, it’s our most favorite fruit. So, we had a hard time understanding what’s there to complain about in this picture.

Avocado on the Side

So, this customer asked for some extra avocado on the side and she got exactly that. Well, maybe, just a little too much avocado. We were surprised at how generous this restaurant was, given the fact that avocados are quite expensive.

Three Pieces

There’s nothing more annoying than someone doing a lousy job on purpose. This is even more annoying when they had only one job to do and it’s to properly cut a sandwich. The lady who served them this sandwich only had to cut it into three even pieces.

Three Pieces

While they could have been more specific and actually used the word even, we would still expect the employee to understand what cutting it into three pieces means.

Child-Size Portion

Almost any restaurant or food service offers small dishes for children. These dishes are also designed to appeal to a child’s palate. Looks like someone took a “child-size” portion of candy cotton quite literally.

Child-Size Portion

The result is a gigantic ball of candy cotton. This isn’t something that an adult would manage to consume by themselves. But, one thing is for certain — this young client is quite happy with what she got.

Mayo Spill

Looks like someone had a rough day at work and decided to take it out on the customer who just asked for a some extra mayo. Well, they got tons extra mayo on that burger. It looks like the employee used all of McDonald’s yearly supply of mayonnaise.

Mayo Spill

Even for a burger of this size, this is definitely an inordinate amount of mayonnaise. We seriously hope that the employee who did this was reprimanded.

Buried Under Pepperoni

This is what happens when a customer orders an ungodly amount of pepperoni. What looks like a mound of pepperoni is actually just the pizza topping. We wonder why they even bothered to buy a pizza in the first place.

Buried Under Pepperoni

They could have just ordered sliced pepperoni. Also, how do you even start eating a pizza like this? Do you first remove some of the pepperoni to uncover the slice you covet and then put it back on? This is very confusing.

Extra Lox Spread

We were never great fans of lox spread. Why ruin a good fish? Salmon should be smoked or grilled, so frankly, we don’t totally understand combining the fish with cream cheese. To each their own, though.

Extra Lox Spread

In any case, looks like this customer literally got what they wanted — an extremely thick layer of lox spread. How thick exactly? We estimate thickness levels to be of at least one inch. That’s a lot of spread.

Social Distance

This is a really funny story. This female employee got a call from a customer, asking whether they were keeping social distance at the restaurant. The female employee answered that they were, in fact, abiding by certain pandemic regulations.

Social Distance

We’re not sure these two have the same idea of social distance in mind. But, by the looks of it, it seems like these burgers are safe to eat.

Getting in Trouble

This customer called their favorite Thai food place and asked that they make their dish so spicy that someone could potentially get in trouble for it. The Thai restaurant workers obliged, as you can see in this picture.

Getting in Trouble

We absolutely adore restaurant workers with a sense of humor. This is certainly the way to keep your customers happy and make sure they call to order again from your place. We wonder, though, how spicy this dish really was.

Mac & Cheese Burger

When this customer ordered their second mac ‘n’ cheese burger, they asked the restaurant employees to put as much mac ‘n’ cheese as possible without getting fired. Again, they happily obliged.

Mac & Cheese Burger

This now looks more like mac ‘n’ cheese with a side of burger than a burger with mac ‘n’ cheese. No wonder you need a fork to eat it now. It’s like getting two dishes in one. We hope they survived this meal.

Fried Chickpeas

This customer asked for extra fried chickpeas with their rice bowl, and that’s what they got. You can’t see the rice for all the chickpeas. It’s as if they got the same amount of rice, but with chickpeas.

Fried Chickpeas

Looks like someone will have to dig through a lot of chickpeas until they get to their rice. But, one thing is certain — they won’t be hungry after eating this entire bowl of rice and chickpeas.

Cut in Half

Normally, when you ask to cut a burger in half at a restaurant, they’d understand what you mean. This usually means that the burger is meant to be cut vertically in the middle, but under no circumstances should it be cut horizontally.

Cut in Half

Looks like someone wasn’t really aware of what they were doing, since this is just an insult to a good piece of burger and to the client who ordered it.

A Shot of Espresso

People can be very particular about how they take their coffee. However, there’s a difference between being particular about your coffee and someone taking your request way too literally.

A Shot of Espresso

The latter seems to be the case here. This customer asked for an espresso over ice and, technically, that’s what they got. The only problem is that this isn’t how you’re supposed to be served this drink. We hope they only paid half price, because the employee didn’t actually finish preparing the drink. Then again, it obviously gave the OP a good laugh so perhaps it was worth it?

Too Many Eggs

Whenever you order something at a restaurant abroad, there’s a chance that you will be misunderstood or simply served the wrong thing.

Too Many Eggs

This customer just asked for one extra egg in Japan. He got way more than one egg. His ramen soup was served with a layer of eggs. It honestly makes you wonder if there’s any soup left beneath all that.

Legal Ranch Sauce

When ordering pizza, this customer left a note asking for as much ranch sauce as legally possible. Well, we’re not aware of any official state or federal laws that actually deal with the amounts of sauce you’re legally allowed to request when ordering a pizza, but they definitely got what they wished for.

Legal Ranch Sauce

We wonder, though, what are they going to do with all this sauce? Drown all their pizzas in it?

Mushroom Infestation

We really don’t get people who ask for mushrooms on their pizza, but we don’t judge. You know what they say — different strokes are for different folks. In any case, this OP just asked for some extra mushroom on their pizza and it seems like the cooks emptied a dozen mushroom cans to prepare this pizza.

Mushroom Infestation

This looks more like a disaster than a pizza. In all honesty, we’d be totally mushroomed out at this point if our pizza turned out like this!

One Pepperoni Pizza

Language can sometimes be an inadequate tool to convey your thoughts. There seems to be a difference between one pepperoni pizza and a pizza with one piece of pepperoni on top. This is what happened to this customer.

One Pepperoni Pizza

What they actually meant is that they want a pizza with pepperoni topping, but they got a pizza with a single slice of pepperoni. We really don’t see how hard it is to understand what a pepperoni pizza is.

Sundae With Peanuts

This guy ordered a hot fudge sundae and asked for as many peanuts as they can give him. They happily obliged, and gave him an additional paper cup full of peanuts. By the looks of it, it seems like he now has more peanuts than sundae.

Sundae With Peanuts

We don’t know what could happen to this man’s taste buds when he’s done eating that many peanuts, but we definitely don’t recommend you doing it at home.

Double Espresso

It seems that someone tried really hard to fail at their job, and actually succeeded. Even a novice barista is expected to know what double espresso means. It means that you simply put in twice the amount of coffee you use to prepare one espresso.

Double Espresso

Judging by what happened here, they literally prepared a double espresso — two cups of the same thing. So, technically speaking, they literally did what they were asked for, but got it wrong nonetheless.

Extra Sauce on the Side

This is the perfect example of how to make sure to get the restaurant chain you work for publicly shamed for bad service. The OP only asked for extra sauce on their burger, and instead, they got a separate box filled with their sauce.

Extra Sauce on the Side

This is not how you’re supposed to do it. Why is it so hard to grasp this customer’s order? The only thing they had to do is to put a little more sauce on their burger.

Cream Smear Taco

Looks like someone at Taco Bell took this lady’s order a little too literally. This is extreme, even for us. When you ask for sour cream on the side, this isn’t what you expect to get.

Cream Smear Taco

You’d expect them to put the sour cream in a condiment dish, as every other normal restaurant would do. But, it seems that the person who prepared this taco had a different understanding of what it means to put sour cream on the side.

Nothing for Dessert

Chances are, this is the first time in history that someone asked for nothing and literally got what they wanted. We wonder how the universe didn’t just collapse into itself. We bet this was a well-planned joke because this is just unbelievable.

Nothing for Dessert

There’s a good chance that this was the chef’s way of showing what they think about customers who don’t order dessert. You still get something even though you asked for nothing.

Affocado

This customer asked the waiter for an affogato, which is basically a scoop of ice cream topped with coffee. The waiter apparently didn’t know what an affogato was and so, this is what they delivered to the shocked customer.

Affocado

This looks like a scoop of ice cream over a slice of avocado in a pool of coffee. Well, we think that they just invented a whole new dish. We’ll call it affocado.

All-Inclusive Burger

This customer asked that the chef put everything in their burger. Usually, this means that they just put all the basic ingredients like tomato, lettuce, pickle, and onion. But, it seems that for some reason, they interrupted their request all too literally.

All-Inclusive Burger

They decided to include everything but the kitchen sink in that burger. Considering the fact that this was prepared in a restaurant kitchen, this means a lot of miscellaneous food items.

Coffee With Bay Leaves

The adults among you would certainly appreciate the joke. This customer ordered a coffee with a sweet drink that adults like to take with their coffee that sounds like bay leaves.

Coffee With Bay Leaves

There’s a good chance that the waiter misheard them or simply chose to take their request quite literally. Well, they got their bay leaves with their coffee. However, we’re not sure they actually drank it in the end.

Double Pepperoni Pizza

What’s the first image that comes to your mind when you think about pepperoni pizza? A pizza with some slices of pepperoni on top. It looks like someone took the whole topping part a little too far with this pizza.

Double Pepperoni Pizza

To be more specific, they took the whole double pepperoni part too far, putting literally double the amount of pepperoni that usually goes on pizzas. From what we’ve heard, the customer didn’t complain about it.

Top and Bottom Mayo

You don’t need to be an expert to understand a basic request such as this one. This client only asked to put mayo on the top and on the bottom of their chicken burger.

Top and Bottom Mayo

This means that the only thing that they had to do is to put mayo on both sides of the chicken. Instead, they just carelessly dropped some mayo on top of the burger and called it ready.

Lettuce Burger

This time, the customer literally got what they were hoping for. This isn’t some bad version of a veggie burger, but a stand-alone lettuce burger. It’s actually pretty healthy too.

Lettuce Burger

An average burger contains 53 grams of carbs, so if you replace those buns with lettuce, you save around 200 calories. However, you do have to keep in mind that you’re eating a burger, which still isn’t the healthiest thing in the world.

Cheesecakes

When ordering on the phone, this can happen. As we’ve mentioned time and time again, it can be quite easy for your order to get mixed up. This customer ordered pizza and cheese sticks. At least, they thought that they were ordering cheese sticks.

Cheesecakes

It seems like the lady who was taking their order misheard them. Instead of getting cheese sticks, he got cheesecakes. While we can’t really complain about cheesecakes, it’s still kinda annoying.

Ice Cream Sandwich

Technically, this customer ordered something that is not even on the menu. But, McDonald’s played along. Admitting that they were just bored, they went in and ordered an ice cream burger.

Ice Cream Sandwich

This is pretty amazing, since the last thing you’d expect from a fast-food chain is to deviate from its standard menu just to oblige a random customer’s whim. We don’t know how they did it, but they deserve to get a cookie from us.

One Kilogram or One Brussel Sprout?

Getting only one piece of a vegetable instead of a kilogram is a literal joke. This person got only one piece of Brussel sprout instead of a whole kilogram. Looks like he isn’t a big fan of Brussel sprouts.

One Kilogram or One Brussel Sprout?

Like this person, if you’re also not a huge fan of these vegetables, then why not take a little at a time? Purchasing only one piece is indeed hilarious, but who’s to complain! Break down one Brussel sprout and you have your healthy meal.

Diet of a College Kid

When you think of snacks, the things that typically come to mind are chips, drinks, and cakes — but what defeats all of this is Cup Noodles and Arizona iced tea. This individual asked her mother to grab some snacks from the store.

Diet of a College Kid

Astoundingly, she returned with a lot of instant noodles and sweet tea. Clearly, this mother is no stranger to college life and all that comes with it, including diet. This surely brings us back to the horrors of dorm life.

Mushroom Morning

Partners always want to surprise and please their soulmates with little things. These little gestures can be as tiny as handing the towel to your partner after they’ve finished showering.

Mushroom Morning

It can also be in the form of food, in which your SO asks you for some extra cheese or potatoes — or, in this case, mushrooms. This girlfriend did the most romantic thing at breakfast. She served her better half with a heavy load of mushrooms when he asked for them.

Mac ‘n’ Cheese

Mac ‘n’ cheese is a classic. And obviously, the best part about the dish is the melted cheesy goodness. What if we tell you that it can get even better? This person ordered mac ‘n’ cheese but with extra cheese — specifically the brown bits that form on burnt cheese. Yum!

Mac ‘n’ Cheese

Although a specific request, this restaurant totally delivered. This cheesy crusty goodness is a must-have for everyone.

A Little Too Extra

Croutons are golden cubes of rebaked bread, which are seasoned to perfection. They are served with salads or soups. A croutons-loving person is surely bound to die for this. Croutons make salads taste really great and is obviously a great add-on.

A Little Too Extra

More can never be enough, to be honest. This person asked for some extra croutons in his salad and he was served exactly what he wanted. A huge load of croutons chilling on his salad! What more could a person ask for?
