Diced squash is all well and good when it’s squash you’re looking for, but a writer recently live tweeted an incident where this wasn’t the case.

James Dator was in his local store when he saw a man attempting to return his diced squash because he thought he was purchasing cheese. Here’s what went down.

A very confused man is attempting to return his open diced butternut squash because he thought it was a giant box of cubed cheese.

I can't believe this. They're saying he can't because it's open. He's saying it wasn't clearly labeled.

There's a GIANT label that says butternut squash

They've agreed to refund his money. Now he's demanding they honor 2 pounds of cubed cheese for $2.97 as if it was priced like squash

"Sir we don't have 2 pound bags of cubed cheese"

"I have guests waiting!"
— James Dator (@James_Dator) July 22, 2017

He wants them to give him two pounds of block cheese and have the deli counter slice it into cubes for him

Oh god an employee trying to be helpful half heard the conversation and retrieved a whole butternut squash and it's a lot worse now

"I DON'T WANT RABBIT FOOD I JUST NEED SOME GOTDANG CHEESE!!!"
— James Dator (@James_Dator) July 22, 2017

He's leaving without the cheese and took the squash with him.

Understandably, people on Twitter found the whole thing pretty damn funny, so much so that it was later turned into a Twitter moment.

I have never laughed so hard in my life. Thank you for your reporting on the cheese/squash saga.

But before you laugh too hard, one man said it’s an easy mistake to make.

The moral of the story? Always read the label, kids.
