Yesterday, I placed a small order of vegan staples through Amazon Fresh grocery delivery.

Imagine my surprise when I received two different kinds of chicken tikka masala, a package of frozen Snickers ice cream bars, two boxes of dairy popsicles, and multiple boxes of frozen pastry desserts – like mini pies – all with milk and eggs!

But I bet I wasn’t half as surprised as the chicken-tikka-masala loving person with a sweet tooth who received a tub of firm tofu, a tub of extra firm tofu, two packages of tempeh, nutritional yeast, Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer, and a package of hairy kiwis!

Amazon quickly refunded my money, but I have to wonder what their other customer thought about such unexpected vegan bounty! I know some more optimistic vegans would probably spin it as “They tried the tofu and now they are lifelong vegans!” but I’m thinking it went something like this:

Surprised Omni: “Where are my frozen Snickers bars?”

opens bag

“…tofu.”

opens another bag

“MORE TOFU.”

“What the hell is tempeh?”

“And why is there a box of furry fruit?”
