1) Harmless coconut water
I can't help wondering, why do they feel the need to specify 'harmless'? What other varieties is it available in?
 |
| 'Harmless' coconut water. |
2) Sliced apple carrot sticks
Mmm, sliced apple! Er, wait ... what?
 |
| America's number one 'sliced apple'! |
America's number one sliced apple looks suspiciously like carrots.
3) That's bananas!
It looks like whoever created this next sign had a temporary lapse of memory...
 |
| Long yellow things. |
Or perhaps they decided to play a game of Taboo with their customers.
4) Bleach ... available in assorted flavours
Whoever created this next sign must have a strong stomach!
 |
| Flavoured bleach. |
Hmm, now what 'flavour' bleach shall I buy?
5) Priorities?
Take a few moments to see if you can work out the thought processes of the shopper who left this milk on the wine shelf...
 |
| Milk on the wine shelf? I wonder how it got there... |
"Oo, wine!"
"Oh, but I don't have enough cash on me."
"Unless..."
6) Well traveled berries!
Finally, it's not the sharpest photo, but if you look carefully at the label you can see that these blueberries were grown in Chile, then flown to Europe, then packed in Belgium, then ferried to England, then driven to Newcastle, then finally, bought in my local supermarket!

| These blueberries aren't very 'green'. In more ways than one. |
It goes without saying that they weren't the most environmentally friendly blueberries I've ever eaten, but that's the 'benefits' of globalism!

Flavoured bleach? Silly? Listen, if I want to commit suicide by swallowing bleach, then it's essential it at least tastes nice.
