I've been grocery shopping for my elderly parents during the pandemic, and mistakenly bought the "wrong" brand of cran/raspberry juice (first world problem)! Instead of getting rid of it, I bought a jug of the "right" kind and, with the other parent's blessing, mixed the two together in the "right" brand's jug. The picky parent didn't notice.
