All spoiled food is free! Wait, that doesn't sound right. There it was, a big, bold grocery truck proudly bearing the name Food4Less and an equally enthusiastic slogan: “It’s Fresh or It’s Free.” Now, on paper, this seems like a solid promise—until you consider the...
24 Hour Protection, just use every 12 hours. Ah, the sweet irony of marketing meeting reality. There it is—a bold, confident claim stamped on the mouthwash bottle: “24-Hour Protection.” Impressive, right? That is, until you glance down and see the instructions that...
I don't think this sign at AM/PM will convey the concept they were trying for with their new burrito pricing. There it was, plastered on the side of the AM/PM like a beacon of questionable culinary confidence: “Gas Station Burritos—So Nice, You’ll Taste It Twice.” I...
I am not sure what happened in the image on the sign, but if you are on a bike, you may want to avoid this bridge. Nothing says “welcome to danger” quite like a road sign that warns of a “Hazardous Bridge Ahead” but instead of a typical cautionary symbol, it features...
No, really? There’s something beautifully unnecessary about an “Out of Order” sign taped right above a lonely pipe sticking out of the wall where a sink used to be. The sink isn’t just broken—it’s gone, ripped out like it was abducted by a team of rogue plumbers in...
I think I will pay full price on this one. There it was, a beacon of marketing irony at CVS: a bright yellow sale tag proudly proclaiming “On Sale! $3.99”—right next to the original price of 99¢. That’s not just inflation; that’s robbery in broad daylight with...
Whoever took the time to transform the dust-covered back window of an SUV into a canvas for a “T-Rex looking at volcanoes” deserves to be celebrated as a modern-day Michelangelo of roadside parking lots. While most of us see a dirty car and lazily scribble “Wash Me,”...
This is the ambulance that I would call Now this is the kind of ambulance you’d want showing up to your emergency—a monster truck/ambulance hybrid with wheels so big they could crush traffic jams like soda cans. No more waiting helplessly while it honks its way...
It’s a dark twist no one saw coming—Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Rabbit standing frozen in horror as they stare at a TV screen with a mugshot of their beloved Christopher Robin and the caption: “Convicted of Murder.” Pooh’s pot of honey is slipping from his paws,...
But I'm not sure is they only fix one "computer" I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw the repair shop sign proudly advertising its services for “Vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens, turntables, and computer.” Not computers—just the one, singular, mysterious “computer.”...
There’s nothing quite like boarding an escalator at the airport, luggage in tow, only to notice that the advertisement running down the side features a giant airplane pointing nose-first toward the ground. Talk about confidence-inspiring travel marketing. Is this some...
You know who you are! There’s nothing quite like walking into a pharmacy and seeing a bright, cheerful sign welcoming you to the “Healthcare Essentials”—only to find a bowl of cookies sitting smugly between vitamins and painkillers. You came in expecting Band-Aids and...
