Don quijote mail order

You're referring to the famous Don Quixote's mail-order catalog!

In the 17th-century novel "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes, the titular character, Don Quixote, is a nobleman who becomes obsessed with chivalric romances and decides to become a knight-errant. He and his squire, Sancho Panza, embark on a series of adventures, often getting into humorous misadventures.

In one of the most famous episodes, Don Quixote becomes enamored with a windmill and mistakes it for a giant, leading to a series of comical events. This episode is often referred to as the "Don Quixote's mail-order catalog" because of the way Don Quixote misinterprets the windmill's purpose.

In reality, there is no such thing as a Don Quixote's mail-order catalog. However, the phrase has become a cultural reference point, symbolizing the idea of misperception or misinterpretation of reality.

If you're looking for a humorous take on the concept, you might enjoy the 2018 film "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote," directed by Terry Gilliam, which explores the idea of a modern-day advertising executive who becomes obsessed with the idea of creating a Don Quixote-themed advertising campaign.
