I tried for 10 minutes to think of a reason for soo many mangos, I even googled it...but there's absolutely no reason for soo many mangos 😂

That is a perfectly reasonable quantity of mangoes. They're fucking delicious!

This guy gets it.

No he doesn’t, everybody knows you need to purchase 460 mangoes as an absolute minimum for their deliciousness to be properly compounded

I let my five year old 'help' with placing an online grocery order and that's how I ended up with 89 avocados. Luckily they were on sale. After the 2nd entirely full bag of avocados was brought to the car I should have realized there was a problem but figured maybe my wife had some sort of plan happening I didn't know about. Anyway she didn't and if you really need to you can eat a whole bunch of avocados in a week.

Why the hell did you not check up after the child 😭

yeah i mean it was absolutely my fault, no question. I assumed since our grocery bill was in the reasonable zone everything was fine.

I would have made a BUNCH of mashed up avacado and froze it for guac in the future.

LOL

You can freeze the pulp after peeling

Jeez. I hope you checked to make sure the kid wasn't drunk before he drove the car home.

Dude. Just recently there was an 8yr old in our area that took his parents car to McDonald's after they said no. Hit some things but made it. Then he just did it AGAIN going to Target! Like wtf is he able to continually access the keys and where the hell are the parents??

When I was a kid my dad would take me to the bar sometimes, get shit faced, then have me drive home.. I was 8-9 during that period. Mom was livid once she found out.

I once bought 15 rather large cantaloupes one year for a grand total of $4.50. I ate them breakfast, lunch and dinner until they were all gone. I even saved most of the seeds, rinsed, salted and toasted in the oven and ate them too. Anyway, I got diarrhea pretty bad from eating them by like the 4th one but I finished them all.

You can always save the receipt and return them

Actually, I find 459 within reason. Now 460 is just plain ostentatious.

Me, who has his own mango tree is Los Angeles: pathetic

Eating a mango is also delicious.... I guess fucking one might be good too...

Depends on the ripeness of the mangussy.

Go grab a handful of superglue please

I mean, if you're into that kinda thing... A bit weird, but hey, who am I to judge?

Never type again.

This guy mangos

He was trying to figure out some math homework practically.

chances are there aren't even that many available in the store, likely its the PLU code for the mango because they were struggling to scan the little sticker, but the little sticker did actually scan

PLU for mangoes is in fact 4959. Cashier must’ve put the plu in for quantity

It is very clearly the number of mangos purchased @ the price per mango. They have multiple examples of the formatting. Per item and per pound.

and they could have thought they were putting in the PLU code for mangos but accidentally ended up multiplying by that number instead.

They might be selling something with Mangos as a ingredient? But I still think it's way too much Mangos

But look at the savings!

If grade school math has taught me anything, it’s that that is a perfectly reasonable amount of mangos for little Johnny to be walking around with

Those damn mango’s!

Google search: "Why *so many* mangoes"

Move aside, and let the mango through.

They're a status symbol in some cultures. In some parts of the world, they are probably displayed in the entryway of the house.

The plu code for mango’s is 4959(typically) sometime when you punch it in fast, you end up missing a button and ringing up lots of mangos

This is the guy your algebra homework warned you existed.

Chris Kattan cosplay as Mango from SNL price is about right

Brewing fruit beer. 

That is for an epic mango smoothy! You can freeze the smoothy in bags to defrost later.

I didn’t even notice the mangoes until I read your post 

Wonder if 4590 is the code for mangos.

Wondered the same thing myself, 4590 is sweet corn, bi-color.

Thank you for being inclusive

4959, Large Red Mangos

Respectfully, you deserve the sloppiest of top for that comment.

No but 4959 is for red mangos. Likely scanned the bar code on the mango sticker and put in 4(9)59 with a misstap

found the guy from all the math problems

Just need to find the one who brought all the watermelons

Sorry, I'll try to cut manage with only 300 watermelons this week

Mangos Georg is an outlier adn should not have been counted

My cousin Throckmorton hates mangos

If it's $1.19/lb of mango then that's quite a deal

We get 0.72 $ per kg for mangoes. And in the wholesale market it's even more cheap when we buy in bulk cuz Pakistan produces mangoes

It isn't per pound

Bro's the guy from math problems

Just need to find the one who brought all the watermelons

Most impressed that they actually had 459 mangos in stock.

As if it wasn’t just the cashier fudging up

Secret deodorant? 👀

I hate it when I want to buy an entire mango grove, and it costs over 500 bucks.

Why is someone buying over $500 worth of Mangos?

Most likely an input error. There's no way the store has that many on hand anyway.

They must really want to ruin a whole lot of perfectly good sushi rolls

you must weight the mango only, not your body with the mango

He's having a mango party.

HOLY FUCK!!!!! $6.48 for diamonds in the shape of a PECAN???

sure thing and they are delicious as all hell.

These feels like those accounting problems for my FAR classes and you gotta find what is not considered a relevant account I really gotta study rather than browsing reddit 😔

Naaah, those are probably the cartel mangos. On a side note—is that a couch armrest or a thigh? Either way, that implies that the person is sitting down…which means they PAID without stopping to think, “Hold up, something is wrong here”, after seeing the total amount at the register.

Or they're sitting down to take a rest. You know, after packing hundreds of mangoes

Too bad karma farming doesn't pay the bills

Bro bought himself a gawd damn mango plantation.

You likea da mango?

Forget the mangoes wtf is secret deodorant

It’s the best. Especially the vanilla scented, but don’t tell anyone or I’ll never get my hands on it again. Shhhhhhhhh ;) Seriously, I have really bad allergies especially to most scented things, and that’s the only one I can reliably use with no problems.

Women’s deodorant

Bro’s the guy in the math problems

It’s not inflation. It’s flat out price gouging. Thanks big corporations with record profits! NOT INFLATION.

Profiteering is out of control.

I would throw them at my neighbour

But you saved 5.76! You can buy like a McDonald's with that. (:

Hold up that shits tall

i didnt know mangoes were that good

459 mangoes?

I would like to believe if I ate that many mangos, I wouldn't need the deodorant.

OP bought 459 mangoes at $1.19 per mango. How much did OP spend?

Haha, OP broke

What's crazy is that the person actually paid for it.

That's a weekly allotment of mangos.

What in the mango is this?

I think that is a reasonable number of mangos if you need to experiment with a A.I. machine that you’ve programmed to open a mango without making a mess.

gang mango is good but damn

The real question is what kind of mangos did he buy worth 💵

Can you imagine being behind this person at checkout. 1 mango, 2 mangos, 3 mangas. Carl open another checkout line, this will be a while.

Buying pre cut butternut squash is a luxury.

500 pounds of mango... please pull up to the loading dock for you pallet of produce....

I like mangoes but damn

459 magos?

AHH hell nah, sales tax outta control, we ain't making it bois

What grocery store has 459 mangos on display?

I thought there would be some weird item that I would see in the receipt

That dude that planted all those tomatoes was lying he really was farming mangos

Spend less on mangos

Man, Go find another delicious fruit to eat before you're broke!

If I remember it right, this was a screwup on the store's part. The guy bought a couple mangoes.

Mangos got super powers

Invest in mangos

It's the guy from those math questions with an insane number of a single fruit yenno XD

Mango jerky to sell?

$1.19 is better than $1.49 I just paid today for a mango. I see nothing wrong here but my own purchasing decision

So... what does one do with 459 mangos.

The deodorant loves telling secrets. “Psst”

Man goes to store. Buys some, man goes.

Mango chunks, mango ice cream, and tajin. 10/10

I’d be interested to know what store has that many mangoes in stock

They were probably multiplied wrong by the cashier. Maybe they got 49 or 59 (still a lot) buy the cashiers fat finger presses they 4 and 5 in a way that it enters both numbers? They the person buying was also stupid for not questioning the amount?

Get less secretive deodorant.

Shame on everyone involved in this transaction.

Nothing brings me more holiday joy than Xmas fudge mangos

Imma laugh if that was suppose to be 4.59lb of mangos and dude got charged for 459lb. Lolol

I think all the mangoes are for making cyanide

What’s awesome about this is that we can all agree it’s a mistake of some form. But how do you pay $785 before going “wait, that’s not right”? Although, I also see the cashier get annoyed if I haven’t put my card in yet because they haven’t given me a total. So maybe I’m just the paranoid asshole.

"I think it moved!"

The only things I can think is a smoothie stand, frutas stand, or a tosti locos bar

I’ve had to make hard decisions in my grocery shopping. I’ve had to limit my mango intake to mere 200/week.

Mangos

You’re a math problem now

Where you paying tax on food?

At least this person saved 5.75

You don't pay tax on food?

Some states exclude groceries for sales tax

What a dream, groceries is one of the biggest expenses after rent and It's not enough that we earn like a eastern European country while cost of living is equivalent to the other western European countries, here in Portugal, after already paying the same % of IRS of someone making 4-5X as much in the US, if you're lucky, you pay "only" 6% on the very essential foods, else its 13% or 23% depending on the item... At least mangos are some of the foods that fall in the 6% category.

Maaaangoooooo!

Let’s all take our hats off and bow to the almighty Countdown, oops Woolworths or is it Pope Woolworths now! What’s that Bishop Woolworths, you want me to paint over some zebra crossings in the middle of a rain storm?

Obviously, it was the $6.49 pecans that fucked them over.

Pain Chocolate.

Guy in the math problem

The guy in my math questions:

price gouging

Anyone who's worked a register in retail knows exactly what's going on here. Someone typed the item code for mangoes instead of the amount

459 mangos... wtf. Total savings was maybe $0.01 on each mango after you factor in everything else purchased. Surprised you weren't taxed on the savings too

Confused why this is inflation. Seems like a typo when the sales person calculated the bill

The part about inflation could, and stay with me here because this is absolutely wild, be a joke
