Woman buys from Vinted but is floored when item arrives in 'baffling' packaging
A woman shared a video of the package in which her Vinted order arrived, prompting others to share the most bizarre items they've received or sent their items in When you're receiving goods from the general public rather than a reputable business, it may mean you receive some quirkily wrapped items, so sellers can maximise their profits from apps such as Vinted. That's why one woman was left dumbfounded when she saw what her parcel had been sent in. This often means that instead of using a bag, which could set someone back around £8 for a multi-pack on Amazon, Vinted items are dispatched in an assortment of unusual containers. When Jen, who shares her experiences on Instagram as @cuteandperfectalways, went to retrieve her parcel from an InPost locker, she was left with a fresh sense of "perspective" due to the seller's unusual choice of packaging. As she opened the locker, she captioned her video: "Life just isn't that serious. My Vinted parcel, for example, arrived in the form of breadsticks." She displayed the rather battered box of breadsticks housing the item she'd purchased, sparking a wave of comments sharing the strangest ways people had received their second-hand goods or had sent them out themselves. One woman confessed: "I sent a book in a cut-up Weetabix box, so I get it". "I was reusing Easter egg boxes at one point," a Vinted seller revealed. Parcel delivery tales have taken a quirky turn. One person revealed they received a package in a "cat food box," while another was left feeling exposed when their purchase arrived wrapped only in cling film. "Mine came in a holey Oreo box once," divulged a woman, and another recounted how a T-shirt they bought turned up in "a Ferrero Rocher box. "The tape at the top is holding on for dear life," a user quipped, sparking laughter online. Some defended the Vinted sender's choice to repurpose packaging, with comments like: "Upcycle, like who cares as long as your item isn't covered in breadcrumbs or something. "Reduce, reuse, recycle," chimed in an eco-conscious shopper, endorsing the sustainable approach. However, not all upcycling attempts are successful, as one buyer lamented: "A ceramic candle I'd ordered arrived in a Frazzles Crisp packet. The candle, strangely enough, had not survived the journey," because it had smashed to pieces due to the lack of protection it had been given. Others embraced the trend, joking that "upcycling is so cool," and expressing their eagerness to try it out themselves next time they sell an item on the app. "I am not ready for my building to judge me for it [getting sent parcels in random containers], so I opt for 'collect' instead of home delivery. One day I'll grow up," confessed a self-aware shopper.

Fan-favorite Oreo was missing for 8 years. Now, it's returning for limited time
A beloved Oreo cookie is staging a comeback eight years in the making. Blueberry Pie Oreo cookies will return to shelves starting Monday, July 7, after years of spirited requests from fans, according to the cookie brand. Packs will be available for preorder June 30 before rolling out in stores nationwide. 'You win. Now please stop yelling at us,' Oreo captioned an Instagram post announcing the cookie's return. The seasonal snack, featuring blueberry creme sandwiched between two graham cracker-flavored cookies, will rejoin the Oreo lineup for the first time since 2017, according to a news release. The news prompted a flurry of reactions from fans who couldn't hide their excitement. 'Omg I've been waiting for this for so long,' one person commented under the post. 'When brands actually listen to their fan base >>>>,' another wrote. One person suggested they had no plans to share, writing: 'Literally buying all of them.' It's the latest Oreo flavor to be pulled from the vault, returning only for a limited time. In March, the brand brought back its Golden Birthday Cake cookies in time to 'celebrate Milk's Favorite Cookie turning another year older,' McClatchy News reported. More recently, Oreo teamed up with Selena Gomez for a new chocolate and cinnamon-flavored cookie inspired by the singer's childhood and love of horchata. 'Making my own OREO cookie was a lot of fun,' Gomez said. 'I grew up loving them, so being able to be a part of the process was a full-circle moment.' Previous limited-edition Oreo flavors have included red velvet, churro and PB&J, according to Tasting Table. Oreo blueberry pie cookies will be available for a limited time, while supplies last, Oreo said.
