A customer expecting a single can of Diet Coke from an Uber Eats order placed at 4:00 AM instead received 12 liters of the soda along with 3 liters of milk. The mix-up gained traction after TikTok user @leahscoobydoobydoo posted a video showing the delivery. As reported by the Daily Dot, the order arrived packed into two separate bags, with a third bag containing additional groceries she had not clarified as part of her original request.
The video had been viewed hundreds of thousands of times at the time of the report. It quickly drew a wave of reactions online, with viewers both amused and puzzled by how the order could have gone so far off track.
Commenters offered a range of theories about what may have caused the error. One person speculated that a canceled order from another customer may have simply been redirected, while another joked that she had “hit the absolute motherload.”
Other users say they have had similarly bizarre delivery mix-ups
Other commenters pointed to delivery app tipping structures as a possible explanation. One noted that if Uber Eats tips were based on a percentage of the total order rather than a flat rate, drivers might be incentivized to overdeliver in situations like this one.
A number of users shared their own experiences with oversized or incorrect orders in the comments. One person said they ordered Red Bull, Doritos, and eggs but received ribs, a whole salmon, and a steak instead, while a Meta child safety settlement was also drawing separate attention online that same week. Another commenter described a less exciting outcome, receiving only Red Bull and a bottle of men’s shower gel.
The original poster has not said whether the mix-up was a mistake on her end or a technical error within Uber Eats. The story circulated the same week as an unrelated Trump comment about Dolly Parton also made headlines.
The cause of the mix-up remains unconfirmed.
