A visit to a shop can turn into something unexpected. And we are not talking about a sudden price increase but about unusual customers you might encounter or tricky packages manufacturers create.

We at Bright Side are sure that anyone can come across curious things in stores while shopping for products, turning the trip into a real challenge requiring maximum attention from the customer.

• They are intended for you to poke a few holes in the plastic and to microwave for 10 or so minutes. This gives you a general “baked potato” sort of meal without having to wait for 2 hours or heating up the whole oven. © NotOutsideOrInside / Reddit
