    Reading the comments shows a lot of people do not understand satire, especially when the opportunity to talk trash about America/Texas/American education is on the line.

      Poe’s law. Maybe it’s satire. Equally possible it’s ignorance.

      The AVERAGE reading level in the US is seventh grade. We’re at the point where they might as well retranslate the Bible back to Latin because people can’t barely read it.

      Too stupid to spot an obvious and funny marketing gimmick.

      “Murica dumb!”

        Typical European fragility. They’ll be like “Murica dumb! Can’t do dates right!” but then they’ll shut their mouths real quick when people point out that Japan does it differently too.

    I know the exact spot this is from years ago. Its just north of a little town called Lindale (North of Tyler, south of Mineola).

    Dudes hallopinos were actually pretty legit. He also had the sign misspelled so poorly because it “gets people’s attention and makes em laugh”.

      Yeah, I was going to take a guess. As someone who has dealt with random farmers in the middle of nowhere, at least one of the two are going to be true:

      1. That will be the best produce you have ever laid eyes on.
      2. The person misspelled things on purpose, to grab peoples’ attention.
      3. You’ll be able to fill an entire grocery bag with produce, for like $3.

      There are a lot of places like this, where you’ll get some really high quality stuff for basically no money. As long as you’re friendly, they’ll usually give you some crazy good deals.

      The best tamales you’ll ever taste? They come out of the back of a beat-up minivan in a hardware store parking lot, at the crack of dawn. Just cruise through a Home Depot lot as the sun is rising, and look for the car surrounded by people. Bring cash in small bills.

    Person drives up and starts bitching at this guy.

    His response?

    “I have no words.” [Throws his hands up]

    Fear not the man who has spelt 10000 words right but the man who sold their education to grow hallopinyos.
