Oftentimes when we're sick, we want someone to take care of us -- but have you ever asked a restaurant to help nurse you back to health?

One customer in Northern Ireland did just that with a fish and chips eatery. Feeleys Chippy, which serves fish and chips and pizza, received an odd requests in the "add comments" section to their delivery form:

"Will you please stop in spar [Irish store] on the way and get me benylin cold and flu tablets and Ill [sic] give you the money," the note read, "only ordering food so I can get the tablets Im [sic] dying sick."

The poor customer wanted the deliveryman to pick up cold medication on the way to their home; they did not even want food, they just needed a way to receive the medication.

The receipt went viral, garnering thousands of likes and shares.

Feeleys Chippy honored the request, and shared it on Facebook:

"Only the best service here at Feeleys," the brand wrote.

Canada and Mexico accounted for almost 40% of U.S. steel imports in 2024.6.6 million net tons of steel mill products were imported from Canada and 3.5 million came from Mexico, according to U.S. Census Bureau data via the American Iron and Steel Institute. Brazil was the second-largest source of steel imports to the U.S. last year.:: Shanghai, ChinaWhile China is the world’s largest steel producer and exporter, very little of that is sent to the U.S.Most Chinese steel was shut out of the market when 25% tariffs were imposed in 2018. :: Aluminum Roughly half of all aluminum used in the U.S. is imported, with the vast majority coming from Canada. At 3.2 million metric tons last year, Canadian imports were twice the next nine countries combined, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
