Toddler accidentally orders onions; dad shocked by P1,200 delivery bill

A toddler in the United Kingdom who unknowingly made an order to an online supermarket ran up a bill worth £20 or about P1,250.

After he let his daughter Alice, 1, play with his phone, dad Jamie was surprised to see a notification for a delivery, as seen on Twitter on Monday, April 20.

He was also taken aback by the cost of the delivery: Though the pack of three onions was only worth £1.50, the service and delivery fees made the whole order amount to £19.99.

Despite the mix-up, Alice was pleased anyway, as seen in pictures Jamie shared where she held the onions and also munched on onion rings.

Deliveroo, the service that sent the order, offered to provide more ingredients for a meal as well as credit on the app.

It seems the family has already made the most of the onions—Kirsty told BBC yesterday, April 22, that Jamie made a curry topped with crispy onions and that there is still one onion left to consume.  /ra
