A British man was sick and tired of his teenage daughter eating his favorite snacks (butter biscuits covered in dark chocolate that he calls cookies) no matter where he hid them, so he decided to fight fire with fire to teach her a lesson.
After searching her room for his missing cookies and coming up empty, he came across a bottle of her vodka. So, he decided to replace that vodka with water and put the bottle back in her bag. The devious dad posted on Reddit: "I chuckled to myself at the thought of the disappointment that she and her friends would be experiencing in a few short hours."
But the payoff from the father's prank on his daughter never came. In fact, his efforts were completely fruitless. After a night out partying with her friends in which he never heard from her, he asked her the next day how her evening had gone.
"Oh," she replied, "it was weird...we had some vodka but when we drank it, it was water!"
Pleased with himself, the dad asked what she did after that.
"Well," she said, "we just took it back to Tescos (sic) and they replaced it with a new bottle for us!"
There you have it. Tesco demonstrates quality customer service, but screws over a dad looking for sweet revenge. Not only that, but they sent a letter of apology to the daughter, as well:
