It’s funny cause I can still read and understand what they are selling.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Are they selling a mattress with all the produce or what is that supposed to be?

[–] NastyNative@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Potatoes and tomatoes…lol

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 77 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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".

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

at least one of the two are going to be true

*lists three items*

I see what you did there. But I'll still judge you for it...

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Glad it at least made someone twitch. I got a good chuckle as I was typing it out.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

dude's marketing worked on me. you can't misspeel that badly unintentionallly

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I was gonna say, you'd have to work hard to misspell this hard. Twas not accidental. 10/10 marketing!

[–] Rachelhazideas@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Smh can't even spell gellapinnose right.

[–] JayBeeTX@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Too stupid to spot an obvious and funny marketing gimmick.

"Murica dumb!"

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 3 points 2 days ago

Like when they elected a stupid rapist as their president, twice. That was just a goof. Idiots

Can’t trust anyone these days

[–] Nelots@lemmy.zip 11 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Letters, maybe. Words? That's debatable.

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.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 48 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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 ~~propaganda~~ advertising".

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] bryndos@fedia.io 17 points 3 days ago

I think you mean they went to Y'aIl.

[–] EarthshipTechIntern01@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 27 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I mean, those are the ones actually spelled correctly for the regional dialect.

Tried too hard. Anyone who's illiterate with that much phonetic knowledge would've gone for peper at least.

When you can't write in your native language but at least you own 12 guns and have a deregulated electrical grid.

This is my favourite word on the sign. People used to spell this way (however they liked, and by accent).

And I can HEAR this person's voice through the words. Beautiful

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

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

I instantly forgot how to spell zookeene.

I brought my family to visit my mom a few months ago and we saw one of her shopping lists scribbled on an envelope. Yikes.

I now ask my wife if we have Ibeuprofan and Tielanal.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah you're talking about the I.B. profin. Easy mistake to make

[–] sol6_vi@lmmy.retrowaifu.io 1 points 2 days ago

Right right, brilliant thanks. Always messing that up.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 3 days ago

Really puts the hick in vee-hickle

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

I can read every bit of it. Its really more phonetic than most road side produce signs around here.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 8 points 3 days ago

Why couldn't the señorita have babies?
