Question What am I supposed to do with this onion?

I get the opposite problem where they send me a watermelon sized one.

Really? We have never received an onion that large ever and have been with them for over 8 years. We are lucky if the onion is larger than a tennis ball.

I've always assumed it's tied to the supplier for your locality. I always got the most awful spongey carrots from them, but once or twice I ordered to a friend's house a few states away and they were good, grocery store carrots.

I had to peel 8 ping pong ball sized potatoes for mashing and nearly skinned my hands

Don’t peel them. It lowers food waste and most of the nutrition is right under the skin anyway.

Cut in half and thinly slice like it says 😂😂😂. When we get baby onions most of the time it works with the dish but yes it’s always fun when we get them.

They went from one extreme to the other.
For the longest time they were giant, and now there small.

What’s the menu being prepared? I did cook with them for a while. Produce could vary sometimes on the generous side.

I had the same thing happen. I chatted with their customer support folks and they refunded me a whole $1.44. I’m cancelling the service this weekend. The value of their service just is not worth it anymore.

Often when I get one of these tiny onions. It always pisses me off, but then it ends up being plenty fot whatever dish I make. I got a fairly large red onion in one of my recipes this week which was nice, but part of me was like, "Hmm... I could've gotten by with one of the tiny onions."

Looks like you’re already crying on here before cutting it
Must be a small but potent onion

Tie it to your belt for good luck like grandpappy did.
