We've all heard the saying “money can't buy happiness,” but maybe food can. Why dream of winning the lottery if you can win the food lottery – that is, when you pay for a certain amount of your favorite food, and end up with more. Now that’s a real deal, my friends.
It's like getting a grande latte when you only paid for a tall; like buying fish fingers, and getting an extra one in the packet; like eating your morning cereal and noticing an extra-large cheerio! Not to mention buying your favorite veggie or berry, and it’s the biggest one you've ever seen – ka-ching!
Bored Panda has made a list of photos documenting people winning the food lottery. Has it happened to you too? If so, be sure to share it with our readers by uploading the picture below.

Thx for sharing! From the article it wasn't clear though whether it was applicable to some of the cases here (even within fruits). Thoughts?

#20 happened to me once. I went to chick-fil-a right at closing time and ordered a 12 piece nugget meal. When I got my order, the girl said she gave me some extra that they were just going to have to throw away. My 12 piece box had about 28 nuggets in it and there was an 8 piece box with about 15 nuggets. Plus she gave me two large fries. I was a happy girl!

Couple years ago I bought some hallowe'en chocolates on sale, you know, those boxes of mini bars. Because of peanut allergies they put the mars bars in their own separate plastic bag of 20 inside the 60 pack. The box I picked up felt heavier than usual. When I got it home, there were 2 bags of the mars bars in there so I got an extra 20 little chocolates :)

Thats what happens when you mess with genetics, wonder what happens to your genetics after consuming...
Itsuki Sakura 7 years ago
they aren't messing with genetics, DNA is complex and imperfect. All it takes for any one of these to happen is for one sequence to get a bit jammed. By the way most of these can be explained naturally; Larger fruit comes from an abundance of nutrients. People have cut down trees and saw that during times of floods, the trees would grow exponentially, but during extreme dry droughts, the rings would be smaller, conserving water and reducing the growth. For the pepper-ception stuff, peppers have seeds on the inside, seeds sprout (it's what they do) and bam! Peppers inside a pepper. Same with the strawberries, they have seeds on the outside, some sprout and fuse with the parent one. The bananas can be explained relatively the same way since they're also berries. For the potatoes, machines sort out the small ones, but not the big ones, so every once in a while you'll see chips like those huge ones, I've had a few myself.

If you really think these are caused by chemicals, than please, explain how some of these come from family farms that most likely don't go dumping a plethora of pesticides on their crops. Fruit and vegetables have DNA sequences just like humans. They're very complex and fragile things, one mistake and you get an oddity. Other times, like with the peppers and strawberries, the seeds inside/attached to the fruit manage to get fertilized and grow. With the potato chips, they have machines to sort out the small potatoes, but not the large ones, so the slicer goes ahead and slices them per usual. Get a clue, love.

What are you talking about. Some of these say they got the fruit from their family farm.... Also, China's main export is NOT fruits, it's electronics. I don't see any of these people munching on a laptop.
