Ketchup and Ice Cream, Allergy Medicine and Pet Products, Oh My!
Check Out Some of the Most Interesting Order Combinations Gopuff has Ever Seen
October 8, 2021
At Gopuff, we have a saying – “we don’t judge, we deliver” – and while, yes, we don’t judge, our customers have had some crazy carts over the years! For a bit of fun, we recently took a look at what people have been ordering on Gopuff and picked out some of the most interesting combinations. Here are a few of our favorites:
Sleep Aid Capsules + Energy Drinks
Ketchup + Ice Cream
Canned Tuna + Marinara Sauce (….?)
Diapers + Condoms
As we dug into the order data, we also saw a few unique categories bubble up:
Alcohol & Baby or Pet Products
Taking care of a baby can be stressful, and at 10 o’clock at night, we’re sure parents are feeling the pressure. We found that the pairing of alcohol and baby products really wasn’t that unheard of, with these kinds of order combos:
Hard Seltzer + Baby Wipes
Whiskey + Baby Wipes
Hard Lemonade + Baby Wipes
These types of purchases are heavily concentrated on Fridays and Saturdays from 6-10 p.m., showing us that these new parents may want to sneak in a (quiet) drink to unwind between the baby finally falling asleep and then being up again at 1 a.m.
On the pet side of things, we’re seeing people buy a combination of hard seltzers and pet treats, including:
Hard Seltzer + Bully Sticks
Hard Seltzer + Meaty Bits Cat Food
Hard Lemonade + Peanut Butter and Cheese Cups (for the dog)
Allergy Medicine & Pet Products
People will do anything for their pets… apparently even including being allergic to them while also giving them endless snuggles, given these orders we’ve seen:
Allergy Tablets + Meaty Bites Canned Cat Food
Allergy Tablets + Cat Chow and Kitten Chow
Seems Gopuff customers love their cats! It’s interesting, but maybe not surprising, to see these combinations commonly ordered between 6-10 p.m., seemingly in the window after work where people would have the most quality time with their pets.
Junk Food & One Single Banana
Our research shows Gopuff customers certainly indulge in addition to making “better-for-you choices,” but hot fries and a banana? Seems like they’re on to something with these top interesting combos:
Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream + a single organic banana
Hot Fries + an organic banana
Mango Mochi Ice Cream + another single organic banana
People are purchasing these things together all days of the week, with the timing heavily concentrated in the 8 p.m. – 12 a.m window, showing us that some customers may try to counteract these late-night snacks by adding a single healthy item to their cart.
Spicy Products & Dairy Products or Toilet Paper
We know that people rely on milk to cool down after eating something spicy, but we never expected to see the combinations that some Gopuff customers have been ordering. Here are some other fun finds:
Hot Fries + Vanilla Yogurt with Chocolate Candy
Hot Chili Pepper & Lime Tortilla Chips + Cream Cheese
Toilet Paper + Hot Fries
Gopuff has always been proud of the fact that our customers come to us for everything they need – and we mean everything. From alcohol to diapers, pizza to toilet paper, Gopuff is here for you no matter what you need, even if it’s a bit crazy.
