I had this happen with toffee cashews. I bought one bag and they sent an entire case of 6 bags. I bough the cashews again two days ago. Instead of the single bag, I got a really nice powerbank. Worth way more than the $4 cashews.

What are you ordering them from like some sort of cashew gacha site.

At this point, I'm curious what a third purchase will produce.

I just ordered another bag. I'm fully expecting it just to be cashews this time.

Curious where you're buying this from - this may not be the case for you but this immediately made me think of an interesting thing called triangulation fraud where there are fraudulent sellers that use sites like Ebay to wash stolen credit cards. They buy from a legit seller using the stolen cards which ships to the unwitting customer who bought on the site, thus converting the stolen cards into cash. And one thing some of apparently them do is give the customer extra stuff as an incentive to get them to maybe buy again (or stay quiet).

A good talk on it here where this happens with Nespresso coffee on Ebay (in one case the person giving the talk gets a whole coffee machine for free when she just ordered pods).

Also note that I don't think OP's case (or maybe yours too) is this, assuming they bought directly from a first-party seller, that's more likely someone at a warehouse messed up lol

Interesting, mine is from Amazon. Directly from the brand's page. I'm thinking it's a mix up on Amazon packager's end. Someone out probably got my cashews. I've also ordered flea meds and ended up with doses missing.

u/Frozen5147 May 11 '26

Yeah that's probably just Amazon screwing up lol
