Drunken Purchases

[Broche]

We've all done it, spent the night at a friends house drinking when we reach the point that a trip* to the shops sounds like a great idea. Once you've all reached it, forgotten what you went for and started aimlessly milling about the aisles, you see something of such emmense greatness that to not buy it would be a mortal sin.
I ask you, what, after sobering up, have been the best purchases.

*may be taken literally


My personal experience with this was a night a few months ago in a friends caravan. After drinking enough to be distracted by shiny things but not enough to prohibit walking we ventured to the nearby shops for chocolate pudding I think. Surprisingly enough, we did get chocolate pudding...although it may have been baby food flavoured like chocolate pudding. Now of course, when eating baby food you need rusks, so into the basket they went. We then reached the toy section (ooh yeah) and proceeded to buy toy swords (because toy swords are cool) . We then sought to balance out our childish purchases with jelly and coco-pops (for our alcoholic cocktails before you say they are equally childish, which I know you were going to)...and so I forget the rest.

Anyway, regail me with your own drunken buying.

This is a stine that, apparently, looks like a seal.

This cost me £2 one evening, while walking about my town (the arts and crafts center of Scotland, hot dang!). I drunkenly strolled into the shop and the shop keeper took advantage of my state.
"Look at this" he said enchantenly (sp?)

Wasn't there a news story in the last few years where some German guy (I think) got pissed, went online online with his Dad's credit card and bought a boat?

Or maybe I just want that to be true.

I've never ordered something i didn’t want (well, not through drunkenness anyway) But I once ordered 5 of a colour changing alarm clock from firebox because I was slightly merry and became trigger happy with the "add to basket" button.

All my friends have had one for their birthday now. I still have 4 left :(

Those little Action Man gift bags you get with toys and sweets in.

I like the magnet toy.

Strange things I've bought while pissed include a kebab shop man's shirt (Family Kebab writing on it as well), Microsoft shorts on eBay, two tickets to see a film with a girl I really shouldn't have been messing around with, and I've got an affinity for parking tokens too :D

I once whilst drunk purchased approx 100 Booty bags in order to get the whole Booty family (Little stickers inside) :D

On a mission from bar to get greasy food i went to a chippy and bought A kebab... with lots of chilli suace and cheese on it, plus a portion of chips and a tub of garlic mayo. After finishing my cheese and chilli kebab I drank the garlic mayo... I felt sick for about 2 days after!

A few times coming out of a club with mates at 9am in the morning looking like weve been hit by a bus, weve all gone into mcdonalds to buy Hash browns. It usually takes us 30 minutes to order due to confusion and bright colours everywhere.. but then we just chuck em in the bin! Pointless!

My fedora. Black and white drunkenly bought goodness. I lost my wallet while in the store I was that drunk, so it's lucky I'm a nice drunk or I might've had the cops called.

I bought a GameCube (plus accessories), an 8 person set of dishes, a shot glass that had markings on the side for various amounts of liquor depending on what you were making, a pair of jeans, a digimon toy, a skillet, and a lighter in one night. Store clerks should refuse to sell you things if you are so drunk you ask how to spell your name to sign the credit card slip.
