Uber Eats has been live in Canada for a decade now, and the food delivery app has revealed the strangest most expensive orders customers have purchased in the past 10 years.
It’s hard to believe that up until 10 years ago, hungry Canadians would have had to either order pizza the old fashioned way or pick up their orders themselves, but apps like Uber Eats have changed the game.
In 2015, Uber Eats started as a small lunch delivery service in Toronto before expanding across the country, and now operates in more than 11,000 cities worldwide.
In fact, earlier in January, Uber Eats hit 1 billion total deliveries. In honor of this milestone, it revealed an assortment of facts about the service.
Someone spent $6,000 on burgers and fries on Uber Eats
According to Uber, the most expensive order ever made in Canada was in Toronto when someone spent more than $6,000 in burgers and fries.
In second place was a hungry customer in Edmonton who purchased $5,500 in fried chicken, followed by a user in Ottawa (probably a government employee who billed taxpayers) for $3,000 in noodles.
Someone literally spent over $6,000 on a burger.
Finally, someone in Vancouver purchased a whopping $2,500 in sushi.
It’s not clear if they bought in bulk, paid an outrageous delivery fee, or if the items were so gourmet they came with a massive fee.
These items weren’t as crazy as what Uber described as the “strangest items” ever ordered, though.
Uber says a customer once ordered a Space cowgirl Halloween costume
In Uber’s report, the company revealed the five oddest orders in its history, noting that at one point, someone bought a “Merry and bright Christmas dog collar.”
Following that was a “Disco ball,” “Pickleball set,” and a “Monogram dragon ornament.”
eBayUber says its weirdest order was a Space Cowgirl costume.
The weirdest, however, has to be a “Space cowgirl Halloween costume.” You can just imagine how this went down, likely with someone needing a last-minute outfit for a party and deciding to just get one off Uber.
With one decade in the books, it’s anyone’s guess what crazy deliveries we’ll see in the next 10 years.
