After spotting an online ad for a toy octopus, the woman instantly fell in love with the adorable, multi-colored cutie.
The listing called it a “giant plush octopus” and was priced at just $10, though the seller mentioned a minor defect—one of the seams had come slightly undone. The buyer wasn’t deterred by such a small flaw and went ahead with the purchase. But when the woman arrived to collect her octopus, she was a little startled. She should have paid closer attention to the word “giant,” because the toy truly lived up to its name. The enormous octopus barely fit in her car, and now she can’t seem to find a suitable spot for it in her home.
Social media users chuckled at the amusing mishap, noting that at least the octopus was incredibly cute. So what if it’s oversized? Besides, the toy looked positively thrilled to have been “adopted” by its new owner.
