IRL rage bait
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.
“literally no words”
look inside
words
Can’t trust anyone these days
Letters, maybe. Words? That’s debatable.
“Bail” is technically a word. Okay I guess wordS (plural) is debatable.
Maters is a word
i count one word: bail - the temporary release of a person awaiting trial. the rest, i gotta guess
Maters is a word
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:
- That will be the best produce you have ever laid eyes on.
- The person misspelled things on purpose, to grab peoples’ attention.
- 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.
dude’s marketing worked on me. you can’t misspeel that badly unintentionallly
I was gonna say, you’d have to work hard to misspell this hard. Twas not accidental. 10/10 marketing!
Brilliant marketing campaign!
I instantly forgot how to spell zookeene.
Zucchini
Think in italian spelling rules
Zookeenee 🤌🏻
I’m more interested in these bail peprs, I wonder what the conversion rate is?
What’s the problem. I know exactly what they’re selling. It ain’t 1st grade but anyone can out a seed in the dirt and water it into a behootifool mater.
Why couldn’t the señorita have babies?
Because her husband had a Hallowpiner!
…🦗🦗🦗… Ill see myself out.
“Bail“ is a word.
Right, right. Came here to say this. Although of course it’s not the correct word. 🤣
The peppers are being held on bail. You’re not purchasing them, you’re bailing them out.
You mean the peprs…
Fear not the man who has spelt 10000 words right but the man who sold their education to grow hallopinyos.
Person drives up and starts bitching at this guy.
His response?
“I have no words.” [Throws his hands up]
When you can’t write in your native language but at least you own 12 guns and have a deregulated electrical grid.
AND a superiority complex
What’s it called when you’re not smart enough to spot an obvious marketing gimmick?
Zucchini
Potatoes + Tomatoes
Jalapenos
Bell Pepper
Thank you for the deciphering, I was completely lost at potat ‘n’ tomat
I had no idea those actually were words.
I’m not sure if this is the guy I’m thinking of, but at least one roadside vegetable seller does this sort of thing deliberately. After all, a sign with such… unique spelling is much more attention grabbing than a simple list of vegetables.
A lot of them do, especially the secretly commercial stands that are getting all too common. Like the cat says, “you are not immune to
propagandaadvertising”.The consultant and artist who conceived and realized that sign both went to Yale. The company who holds a regulatory-captured monopoly on all Texas roadside produce stands paid their agency $6.5M for this design.
And just because I made this up, doesn’t mean it’s not true.
I think you mean they went to Y’aIl.
People do it online all the time. Back in reddit days (pre-fediverse), I never saw a front page post without some grammatical or spelling mishap.
Spelling errors were frequent, but they got pushed out of meta by just asking a question.
“Here’s a screenshot from [game]. What’s your favourite?”
…and everyone proceeds to just post their fav game without reading any other comments and the post shoots up to the top of /r/all
Oh no, rage bait posts have come to real life.
