Fruits, vegetables, and berries come in various shapes and sizes⁠—just like humans do. However, unlike with people, we don't often see diverse-looking produce in stores. As it turns out, produce is held to strict and unrealistic "beauty" standards which result in tremendous amounts of perfectly edible vegetables and fruits being thrown away or fed to livestock. Yet from time to time, some of the ugly and imperfect veggies slide past the strict evaluation process and end up in stock. Unused to the sight, many customers avoid buying them; however, those who buy food online don't always have the opportunity to see what they'll get. That's why when a Twitter user named Naomi ordered 1 kg of sweet potatoes, she was surprised to get one mutant potato she called "PotatoZilla." Inspired by this funny incident, we decided to gather a list of sizeable units people got when ordering produce. Check them all out below!

    That is what is known as a fasciated strawberry. I sometimes see these when I buy strawberries at a fruit market near my home.

    I shop at a store called Hanarum Mart (H Mart), and their carrots are always gigantic like this. Makes them easy to chop.

    Apparently the grocery workers don’t like us. The other day we got a big potato shaped like a bowling pin and complete with a huge black pit in the bottom. Peeling it was a nightmare... 😂
