Butternut squash

On any day at any time, for reasons that are often confusing, any person on the planet can go viral, whether they mow a lawn in a tornado or punch a kangaroo in the face.

Yesterday was that day for some unnamed putz in North Carolina who made the transgression of mistaking the butternut squash he purchased for some cheese. It happened this past Saturday evening, and it sounds pretty stupid until you see them both in cube form. To compound this error, he did it in full view of James Dator, whose name you might recognize from many an SB Nation byline.

And, since Dator pretty much just does this same exact thing over at SB Nation, I'll let him tell the story via these tweets that the often fickle internet decided they liked:

A very confused man is attempting to return his open diced butternut squash because he thought it was a giant box of cubed cheese.

I can't believe this. They're saying he can't because it's open. He's saying it wasn't clearly labeled.

There's a GIANT label that says butternut squash

They've agreed to refund his money. Now he's demanding they honor 2 pounds of cubed cheese for $2.97 as if it was priced like squash

"Sir we don't have 2 pound bags of cubed cheese"

"I have guests waiting!"

He wants them to give him two pounds of block cheese and have the deli counter slice it into cubes for him

This is his idea of an amicable solution to accidentally buying labeled squash

Oh god an employee trying to be helpful half heard the conversation and retrieved a whole butternut squash and it's a lot worse now

"I DON'T WANT RABBIT FOOD I JUST NEED SOME GOTDANG CHEESE!!!"

— James Dator (@James_Dator) July 22, 2017

He's leaving without the cheese and took the squash with him.

Sounds like a real pain in the ass.
