Man Orders Apples Online, Gets Apple iPhone Instead

"We ordered apples and randomly got an Apple iPhone!"

Most of us spend months saving up to buy our favourite phone but all that one man in Britain had to do was buy his groceries. Sounds impossible, doesn't it? Well, Nick James from Twickenham was just as stunned when he saw a brand new Apple iPhone in his grocery bag. He had just ordered some items from one of the branches of Tesco, UK's multinational groceries and general merchandise retailer. The 50-year-old was asked to look for a surprise in the bag by the supermarket's staff. Not thinking much of it, Mr James was expecting an Easter egg or something along those lines. But he was soon 'shocked' to discover the iPhone SE in place of the apples that he had ordered. A big thanks this week to @Tesco & @tescomobile. On Wednesday evening we went to pick up our click and collect order and had a little surprise in there - an Apple iPhone SE. Apparently we ordered apples and randomly got an apple iphone! Made my sons week! ???? #tesco#substitutepic.twitter.com/Mo8rZoAUwD A really clever - and generous - marketing ploy by @tescomobile .... I've got my fingers crossed that the wallpaper stripper I've ordered is substituted ;) Why didn't you sell in india All after what abt the apple's did you get it ..????????? Did you get your apples? According to The Mirror, Mr James said, "I was half expecting the surprise to be an Easter egg or something - I was a little bit shocked, to say the least." The gift to Mr James was a part of the retailer's week-long "super substitutes" promotion in which Tesco Mobile is giving away free iPhones, AirPods and Samsung devices. Along with the iPhone, he received a note that read, "Order some apples? You might find an Apple iPhone SE in there! Have some laundry tablets in your load? There could be a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 or that gnocchi you were going to rustle up could be a Nokia..."
