Swindon shop offers apology to customer left ‘chuckling’ by hilarious product typo
Share on FacebookPost on XSend via WhatsApp

A woman was left ‘chuckling’ after spotting a hilarious product typo whilst shopping.

When the shopper purchased a bottle of Diet Coke, the machine flashed it up Diet Cock instead.

She said the typo had both her and her niece laughing as they checked out of MBROS Superstore in Cricklade Road, Swindon, yesterday afternoon (12 April).

“It came up on the screen in the shop, I had to look at it twice to make sure I read it right”, she told Wiltshire 999s.

Continuing, the Swindonian added: “The lady asked if I wanted a receipt. I said yes as wanted to see if it was on there. We left the shop and it was, I did chuckle.

“When I came home I did wonder [if it would be as funny] if a child bought it, so I messaged the store.

“I then obviously put it on social media and all my friends found it hilarious, they all want one haha.”

When the customer got in touch with MBROS, they responded proportionally – starting their message with “OMG” before confirming they’ll be amending the typo.

The reply read: “Omg im so sorry for this. thank you so much for letting us know.

“Apologies if it’s offended you also. We will get this sorted.”
