Sainsbury online shopper receives a single Brussel sprout
Martin Lubikowski, 63, said that his wife Annabel, 63, and the delivery driver both burst out laughing when the single sprout was revealed.
"Last week, we did an online shop with Sainsbury's, as we always do. I selected what I thought was one bag of sprouts, but one single sprout arrived," he said.
"My wife and the delivery man had a jolly good laugh about it - why would someone order just one sprout? The minute it came out we all burst out laughing."
"The delivery man said the pickers' instructions say you have to follow exactly what's written. There's clearly no room for common sense."
"I've gone back on the website and perhaps it could have been that I didn't press the button switching from number of items to kg."
"You have to be very attentive when ordering online otherwise you get this."
A Sainsbury’s spokesman commented on the misunderstanding stating, "Customers ordering online have the choice of ordering by unit or by weight. We’re sorry for any confusion."
