“Destination Truth” Host Takes to Twitter After Getting (Awesomely) Wrong Amazon Order #HamburgerEarmuffs

When most people don’t get the order they’ve paid for, they flip out, especially during the holiday season. But not Josh Gates, host of SyFy Channel’s “Destination Truth.”

According to BuzzFeed, Josh recently opened a box from Amazon, expecting to find a “Destination Truth” t-shirt. Instead, what he received became one of the happiest Twitter “rants” ever.

Instead of sending me the #DestinationTruth t-shirt I ordered, @Amazon just shipped me hamburger earmuffs. pic.twitter.com/gFa1wUs1mn

But Gates quickly realized he got the better end of the mix-up.

#DestinationTruth t-shirt: $9.99. #HamburgerEarmuffs: $13.99. Who’s laughing now, @Amazon?

The hamburger earmuffs were welcomed by Gates, who realized he had comedy gold on his hands…er, ears.

Amazon offered to rectify the situation, but t-shirts are boring.

Amazon: We’re happy to resend your order. ME: Sorry, I can’t hear you through all the lettuce and cheese. #HamburgerEarmuffs

The hamburger earmuffs were officially part of the Gates family.

And in case you were trying to land your own sweet pair of hamburger earmuffs, you may now be in a bit of a “pickle.”
