I don't use the delivery thing
but the Tesco my parents use delight in the Dali school of substitutions. My favourite being "we had no Granny Smith apples, so we've replaced it with a Glade air freshener."

Short of them doing substitutions on an alphabetical basis, I can't really see how they get from one to the other, I'll be honest.

sometimes you get apple scented
perhaps they thought you just wanted to smell the apples

It was probably apple flavoured glade.
They once substituted my sliced ham for an entire ham joint, so I think it must be entirely key word related. They also substituted lemon juice for lemon fairy liquid. It made the cakes taste funny.

I love the fact you've both logically thought this through.
When my dad told me, I just assumed that Tesco were cretins.

and that we'd probably reached that point in our lives when we'd run out of things to talk about.

to be fair if I worked in Tesco
I'd make it a game to see who could replace items with the most inappropriate alternatives and still have them accepted by the customer.

I would so do this.
