This strangely hung sign could be a marketing ploy to make us sit up and take notice of the different parts of this outfit, but we think it is more likely a magic trick gone wrong. The amateur magician who hung up this sign is clearly obsessed with the sawing-a-woman-in-half trick, unfortunately, they didn’t know how to put her back together again.
On the other hand, it is more noticeable than a regular ad and may make more people consider buying separate items of clothing, or the whole ensemble.
Risky Business
We get that this company wanted to cut costs on the packaging, but they probably should have done something to differentiate these two packages. Say you are just trying to take a nap and you wind up stuck on the toilet for three hours.
Or, you actually want to clean your colon and you just knock yourself out for eight hours in the middle of the day, instead? We would use some red tape or something on one of them, just in case. This is like something that would be taken straight out of one of the "American Pie" films, or the teen comedies of the early '00s.
A Poppy Beverage?
Water does come in many forms, liquid, and vapor, but popcorn is definitely not one of them. What is even stranger, is that McDonald’s doesn’t even sell the movie theater treat, so we’re left wondering how they ended up with bags and bags of the stuff.
Not that we’d mind munching on a little while waiting for our Big Macs and fries, but truthfully, we would prefer real ice to keep our soft drinks cold. Popcorn floating in soda simply does not have the same effect.
A Miracle?
The person who placed the ‘water’ sign above this wine section may have been inspired by the Sunday sermon they attended. They tried to remind us all that Jesus had performed the miracle of turning water into wine. Another option is that someone who really loves wine wanted to encourage customers to drink more of it and to feel free to enjoy it during all hours of the day.
They do say that you need eight glasses per day for a healthy lifestyle. So, go ahead and drink up!
Open 24/9
This store may exist in an alternate universe, but in this reality, a week is only made up of seven days. There is a chance that the person who was responsible for the sign may have been missing a stencil for the number 7 and decided to make do with what they had which was a 9. We mean, 9 is bigger than 7, so that must be better, right?
The unusual number does make the store seem extra committed and the comedic value might end up actually bringing in new and amused customers.
