So one morning online I ordered perishable fresh foods like cheeses, sliced ham, milk and so on. And it arrived same day in the afternoon. I was so pleased, I started taking food out of the boxes and I was holding the package of sliced ham in one hand while I was using the other hand to look through some of the other food items. Woah that really hurts! It wasn't a ham package, it was one of the cold packs. Damn that's so cold it smarts your whole hand.

The cold packs. Great for keeping the food cold or cool enough, but they can look like regular packages of food so don't be noob and freeze your hand for a few seconds.

Amazon uses dark red cold packs at the bottom of a bag of frozen food, and a boxed set of cold packs at the top. You'd have to be sleep-unloading your groceries to mistake them for delicious lunchmeats :)

For fresh food they're even more clever: they use frozen bottles of water. I've built up a nice emergency supply of bottled water by ordering from them since I never actually buy bottled water. (I use a filtered pitcher for that.)

Insufficient warning label, maybe I have a case? Just joking, my online market is doing just fine, please don't delay my orders for an obvious joke. It really happened as in my OP but I'm just joking about the labeling and getting a lawyer involved. Have a sense of humor (my online market) like we're having beer at lunch.

Wow, no one has asked the most important question of all. Was it your jerkoff hand or non-jerkoff hand?
