Mum coughs up for epic mushroom paddling pool to keep her kid cool but what turns up in the post is a total fail
A SHOPPER was in hysterics after blowing up what was supposed to be her new paddling pool – only to realise most of it was missing.
Riannan Powell, 26, from Derby, had ordered the paddling pool to cool off in the hot weather, splashing out over £20 for the bargain buy from Amazon.
According to the mum, the summer essential was supposed to come with a fun mushroom design her child would love.
The advertised photos online showed a mini pool with a blow-up mushroom roof, as well as a smaller red-cap mushroom inflatable on the side.
As well as being affordable – and currently on sale for £15 – the paddling pool had also received over 9k positive five-star reviews, with customers praising the buy.
But unfortunately, despite the positive feedback, Riannan’s shopping haul ended up a total fail when she finally received the goods on her doorstep.
Mortified, the young mum took to TikTok to share the epic disaster, leaving people in stitches.
At the start of the clip, the 26-year-old sunbed fanatic showed the packaging and what was supposed to be inside.
Then Riannan revealed the contents of the box – and inside, there was only the smaller mushroom.
”Expectation vs reality,” the mum chuckled in the caption.
”Couldn’t believe it.”
Since being shared on the platform, where Riannan posts under the username @riannanpowellxo, the video has racked up close to 200k views.

Hundreds flocked to comments, where a fellow shopper said: ”I got this pool and mine was missing the mushroom inflatable.
”maybe it went with mine and they forgot to add your pool.”
Another also shared the same experience, writing: ”I bought this years ago and I was in stitches when I blew it all up.”
”the pool is missing, my mum has the same one,” a TikTok user penned.
