Uber Eats reveals the strangest and most expensive items ever ordered

Uber Eats has been operating in Canada for ten years, and they’ve recently shared some of the most unusual and costly orders customers have made during that time.

Just ten years ago, getting food delivered in Canada meant calling in a pizza order or picking it up yourself. Now, apps like Uber Eats have completely changed how we get food delivered.

Uber Eats began in 2015 as a limited lunch delivery service in Toronto, Canada. It quickly grew and now delivers in over 11,000 cities around the world.

Just last January, Uber Eats completed its one billionth delivery! To celebrate this achievement, they shared some interesting details about how the service works.

Someone spent $6,000 on burgers and fries on Uber Eats

Okay, so I just heard about this crazy Uber order in Toronto! Apparently, someone dropped over $6,000 on burgers and fries. Seriously! That’s the most anyone’s ever spent on a single Uber order in Canada, according to Uber themselves. I’m trying to figure out who needed that much fast food!

The customer who spent the second-highest amount – $5,500 – was from Edmonton and ordered a lot of fried chicken. Close behind, a customer in Ottawa spent $3,000 on noodles – likely using government funds.

Finally, someone in Vancouver purchased a whopping $2,500 in sushi.

Honestly, I have no idea how they got all those items! Did they buy a ton at once, shell out a fortune for shipping, or were they just super high-end, expensive goodies? It’s a mystery!

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

Uber recently shared a list of its most unusual delivery requests, including a Christmas collar for a dog described as “Merry and bright.”

Following that was a “Disco ball,” “Pickleball set,” and a “Monogram dragon ornament.”

But the most unusual request had to be for a “Space Cowgirl Halloween costume.” It’s easy to picture the scenario – someone probably needed a quick outfit for a party and decided to order one through Uber.

After ten years of delivering all sorts of things, it’s hard to predict what unusual items we’ll be handling in the decade to come.
