You know a good bargain when you see it...but this one might make you laugh first

One of Australia’s most recognisable hardware stores has become the source of unexpected laughter this week.

Shoppers spotted an unusual new ‘product’ in the gardening section—thanks to what appears to be a simple typo.

But the internet wasted no time turning it into comedy gold.


An Aussie social media user shared a photo taken at their local Bunnings, showing a sign under a table of succulents.

Instead of reading ‘succulent bowl’, the sign mistakenly read ‘succulent bowel’.

‘Mmmmm delicious!’ the shopper captioned the image.

They added: ‘I found a real special today at the big green warehouse near me. Lowest prices really are just the beginning…’

The post quickly attracted dozens of amused comments, with many people leaning into the accidental joke.

‘Stay in school, kids,’ one person wrote.

‘No one correct them,’ another chimed in.

A third suggested: ‘I like to imagine it was this person’s last day on the job and they took a bit of cheeky advantage.’


Others got even more creative.

‘There’s two memes in that image. Succulent Chinese Meal, and that 2319 code in #Monsters, Inc.,’ one commenter noted.

‘Hide yo kidneys, hide yo livers and hide yo bowels, they selling everything up in Bunnings!’ another laughed.

‘Anyone know which aisle the stools are in for my bowels of succulents?’ joked one user.

‘You are sh***ing me! Hahahaha,’ another added.

The blunder joins a growing list of quirky Bunnings moments that have gone viral in recent months.


The retailer recently made headlines with the launch of its 2025 Bluey collection, featuring gnomes, merchandise, and accessories.

The range sold out within 24 hours, with reports of entire stores left without a single gnome.

However, much of the stock later appeared for resale on online marketplaces, frustrating genuine fans.

If you enjoyed this light-hearted mix-up, you might also like a very different kind of Bunnings encounter that left shoppers pausing for thought.

It’s a story that swaps laughter for a touch of emotion, showing how the unexpected can happen in even the most familiar places.

Here’s one visit that sparked a deeper reflection on what really matters.
