I can confirm the #1 person of suspicion is Sunil
She said as soon and she walked up to the return counter with the bag in her hand, they asked her, "oranges?"
:lol

Man I thought the girl I knew who would take portrait frames and replace the family portraits with weirdo b/w images was on some shit, but a serial cookie replacer is a whole new level. You might be uncovering something serious here, NeoNess.

Hah! At least we're all in agreement then. Get that criminal!
As absurd as the events of last week were, this will always be funny as hell
I'm honestly wondering what the purpose of this was, beyond hilarity. Who eats this many cookies? Is it practicing for a super heist? Should I not buy a TV from Target?!
Edit:
... What the hell is going on at this Target?!

So fucking good. I want to high five whoever is doing this prank.
:lol this is amazing.
Javac:With respect, Master NeoNess, perhaps this is a man that you don't fully understand either. A long time ago, I was in Target. My friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious cookies. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So we went looking for the cookies. But in six months, we never met anyone who had traded with him. One day I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing the cookies away.
NeoNess: So why steal them?
javac: Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like cookies. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I call bullshit
First, the oranges would roll in the packaging which will cause displacement pf weight which is really noticeable. If the oranges were neatly tucked in there would be 3 large bulges that would stick out incredibly
Also, the weight would mostly likely be different
Thirdly, they have security cameras everywhere in target, and if they knew this was a recurring problem, they could figure it out pretty fast

lol fucking BULLSHIT.. what's your angle here, OP?
I've been a member here for.. 7 years? I'm not creating fabricated stories just for fun. It happened, I don't any additional details than those I've already provided. Yes it rolls and was heavier, I'm not sure how she didn't notice this.
Rather than fire off some fuled email toward The Consumerist or other sites, I figured I'd share it here. I thought it was funny. She'll be more careful next time.
I'm glad it was a bag of cookies and not a swapped out iPad. Those are horror stories I'd rather not deal with.

I don't think people pay as much attention to the "feel" of their groceries as you think.
You are correct about the security cameras and I am sure the store knows who did it by now. However, I don't see how that would change anything if it was one teenager who came in once and pulled off the swap in 30 packages or so by smuggling them to the back. Security doesn't just sit there watching the tapes live usually.
I think every human being here would feel the weight displacement of the bag. This isn't Supermarket Sweep.
Also, doesnt everything seem to right? This has a fake reddit post written all over it

I honestly don't think I would. If it was only a couple oranges with a lot of room to roll around maybe, but I from the pic posted they only have a few inches to move. Would not be enough for you to feel the "roll".

Those seals are pretty beefy.
Maybe if you shook it, but who would do that to a package of cookies? It would destroy them.
We don't have those packages up here in Canada.
Well, not just shake them. Inverting it, tipping it sideways at a slight angle, or just carrying it out of the store would've applied a reasonable amount of force.

Naw. The seals are VERY beefy. It is highly unlikely that the relatively small oranges shown in OP could gain the momentum required to break the seal without violent shaking.
Not sure how they do it honestly.
Haha what I was thinking.
look, as hilarious as this all is, don't eat those oranges, there's some guy who took a box of cookies and swapped it with oranges, now maybe he just likes a good joke.... but maybe there's something wrong with him.
there was a lady who was going around putting pins in food not long ago around these parts.
Edit: Oh I see they already went back.
