With Hari Raya right around the corner, Muslim families in Singapore have probably stocked up their homes with kueh and keropok.
But one family in Singapore may have unintentionally gone overboard on some snacks.
On May 16, Twitter user @snabehh shared a Tweet to help her family sell some keripik singkong balado (cassava crisps) and sambal balado sticks for Hari Raya.
According to her, her uncle had accidentally ordered "too much" of the snacks for the upcoming festive holiday.

But "too much" may just be an understatement.
According to @snabehh, her uncle intended to buy just 70 packets of snacks.
However, due to some miscommunication with the supplier, he had received and paid for 70 boxes of snacks instead.
he wanted to order 70pkts but the person misinterpreted it into 70box instead and we all didn’t bother checking the invoice until the order came and it was too late to return the items 🥴🥴

For context, each box contains four to five packets of snacks.
Enough to fill HDB flat
And if you can't begin to imagine just how big of an order it is, here's a visual of her uncle's HDB house right now:

The tweet has since gained more than 3,000 retweets and 1,900 likes.
In response to the tweet, her cousin also replied with a photo of the family's reaction to the purchase:

The family seems to be overwhelmed by requests though, so do be patient if you're hoping to get some for yourself.
