Hilarious Grocery Store Displays That Left Shoppers in Stitches
The IPads of the Victorian Age
This store’s workers figured their creativity would boost sales of chalkboards, which aren’t necessarily one of a store’s best-sellers. Rather than selling them to buyers as what they really are, they put a much more delightful spin on their chalkboards and are calling them victorian i-pads instead. Just never entered my mind that these could be special until this store.
Technology needs no introduction in this age, almost everyone owns an iPad nowadays, so putting your hands on this victorian one will get you one step ahead in the race.
When Paris Fashion Week Reaches the Grocery Store
As if we needed another reason to love — and be wary of — garment construction, a supermarket display this week revealed that we never imagined toilet paper could be an award-winning garment, until now. Rather than just creating a boring stack of toilet paper rolls like most shops do someone rather took some time and made something special with their available stock. They somehow made this little store section, and then later, chapter in this book, one of the most unique pieces of art on the planet.
If a grocery associate made this display they really need to get into a line of work that has absolutely nothing to do with food preparation because honey, this is a masterpiece.
It’s All About Perspective
We’ll just assume this isn’t helping any diaper sales, and we think you get the reason why. Perspective is important sometimes, and anyone in line to this register had lots of time to contemplate goddamn near everything about their existence. And if that was the goal of this shop — well, the owner here may just be the best salesman we’ve ever encountered.
Well, this shop discovered an ingenious method for doubling product sales plus putting every customer through an existential crisis. Buy protection now, or buy diapers later?
Where’s Rihanna?
A Super Bowl is incomplete without a Super Bowl party, and with that party comes beer — and, generally, plenty of it. A big seller in the shops at the time, and this one capitalised on it. They created one of the coolest drink displays we have ever seen turning the cases of beer into a miniature version of the actual stadium where the game takes place. Even mini bottles are placed high, like tiny football players.
It is always busy at supermarket during the time of Super Bowl, healthypinoy and this one had some beer to sell. Well they played the crowd, and we at least hope that worked.
Lonely Bananas Looking for the One
But this supermarket was feeling sorry for their lonesome bananas — and decided to give them a little hand. Because not too many people come in to buy single bananas, they put out probably one of the best signs we’ve ever seen. That probably didn’t stop anyone who wanted to rip a thing or three apart to nab their goodies, but they definitely found a way to tickle the fancies of at least some shoppers!
That means that the loner ones tend to go to waste and land in the rubbish as mostly people purchase a bunch of bananas before crossing them off their shopping list.
There’s Nothing Like the Perfect Avocado
Genius level meme placement and you should get a bonus in your butt cheek for a million reasons. Mostly due to this sign, with pure creativity behind it, is sure to have the market selling way more avocados. The GoT reference is obviously related to dragon eggs (which they resemble), but hey, the people who are addicted to that show really love avocados.M Posted in: Cooking & Food, Home & Garden, Taste, TechnologyTagged with: avodragon Goto avocadossource: Avocacoo via GoT: A Cabbage H Posted in: Cooking & Food, Home & Garden, Taste, Technology This was such a good execution of the meme though and we kinda want to love it.
Okay, none of these avocados are really dragon eggs but they might be the greatest approximation of one. At least there are avocados to sit around and imagine that there are dragon eggs, though dragon eggs may not be real.
The Devil’s Favorite Mug
Coming up with festive and unique ways to decorate is something that store workers love to do around the holidays, and this Target definitely took a shot at trying to get into that spirit when Halloween rolled around. Well the cost of these mugs is 6.66 and we all know the price of our mugs in an anagram for fun because of the devil cost of these mugs. This was definitely picture worthy whether it was a customer playing with the display or a store worker.
Most people have no desire to think about the devil driving off to get a mug but at that price you can not say no to a design like this.
A Big Bag of Snowman Noses
Carrots can be a great vegetable that goes well in a salad, to you. And to this supermarket, they are snowman noses — ideal if you’re set to get crafty on a snow day. This market was trying to figure out how to sell their stock of orange vegetables in the dead of winter, and came up with this adorable little moniker. Honestly, vegetables never had a use apart from eating in our books but this was very ingenious.
Well that makes it a bit too difficult to chew into one of these carrots without feeling sorry for the poor snowman there waiting for a nose, and you know you’re gonna be the one eating it.
From Breaking Bad to Breaking Bread
Breaking Bad went viral literally within hours of airing, and this grocery store bread aisle made a pun out of it. Sex Sells and Well Baguette Sells! They Turned a Show ON Criminal Activity Into A Mouth-Watering Create-learning Of A Show And Relevance To Picking Up Baguettes. And, not only did they find an artist to make the sign replicating the title as closely as possible, they also got Walter a portrait.
So, if you have seen it, then you might already know by now that breaking bread is much safer than breaking bad for reasons related to the whole concept of the show.
When the Butcher Is Also a Sculptor
Two of the ground meats available at this supermarket were given a super make-over by fashioning them after video game characters. These products are based on characters from Mega Man, and yes, the meat versions aren’t very distinguishable from the original characters. So cool that we wouldn’t be shocked if customers bought, brought them home and cooked them the same way.
If you’ve never thought ground meat looked so nice you might want to take a gander again. Indeed, the appearances are so professional that even the signature indicates a person/family were commissioned to create them.
The Locals All Love Jeff Now
Meanwhile, a guy named Jeff in some corner of the world just ordered a shitload of hams and the world is giving him a call-out by giving his price drop a name of his own. One time a shop had to drop their prices for ages because of Jeff and all his pounds of meat and we reckon that made everyone happy. This supermarket also wasn’t shy about putting Jeff’s name on the spot either, as they hung quite a few signs describing the situation.
We don’t know Jeff but we’re kind of curious why he needed to buy all those hams and he kind of also deserves part of a thank you for making the hams shorter for everyone.
404 Error: We could not find the store item.
This shop turned a cumbersome internet meme into something more entertaining than it’s ever been. Missing a product, the brand decided to inform their customers creatively. They could have just left the sign blank, but an employee at this store got creative. Anyone who has been window shopping and ever received a “404 Error” message on their computer (which became the Internet equivalent of a No Entry sign) got the message pretty clearly.
It is really unpleasant to see the word “404” when you go into a website, but it is obviously more pleasant to see it when you walk into a store.
Salad Dressing With an Attitude
They would only realise this if they were searching for a specific salad dressing and otherwise, I anticipated that this would just walk past as a joke unseen. And that would sort of suck, because while I’m sure that ticks a few people off, it’s undeniably funny. And someone spotted an opportunity, and seized it for the rest of the grocery store to witness.
The dressing itself may not have a personality, but it certainly behaves that way. This is something that the creator either had a really shitty day or just wanted to fuck around.
If Matt Damon Lived off Potatoes, so Can We
There may be too many people out there have not seen the movie, so this reference has limited application, but somebody attempted to alert us all that since Matt Damon was able to survive on potatoes, so could you. Finding a movie link at the most unlikely time is the best, and so if you’re ever traveling to the mars, be sure to make a stop at this store to get a couple of these potatoes.
Potatoes are never that great looking in a vegetable shop anyways, which is why most of the shoppers do not even care for them so the movie was legit viewer.
More Like “boneless Chick”
But in all honesty, everything this sign says is just about factual, and that makes this seemingly forbidden idea — false advertising — totally impossible. There may not be the traditional coupling of boneless poultry resting in this bowl, but eggs have no bones, and eggs are certainly (near enough to) poultry. Hence, this sign does the trick, but we imagine this would be a different story for customers devoid of creativity.
This sign had to have come from a burst of creativity when it was time to reach for the marker to write down the price and could have accidentally created an entirely new marketing strategy.
The World’s One and Only Infinity Cat
This beautiful cat is so long that we couldn’t even fit it all in the picture so we’re assuming it’s just infinite. Indeed, it’s the first and only infinity cat made out of a bunch of boxes that look alike. We cannot think of a single shopper that would pass this without stopping for a smile so this creation was just spot on at the end of the aisle where shoppers receive visual stimulus.
Sales like a cinema is where creativity is essential, however this cinematic scene was probably also due to a very bored shop assistant keeping themselves entertained whilst they still could.
Invisibility Cloaks Really Do Exist
And if you have seen a Harry Potter movie, then you rightly know what an invisibility cloak is and this shop is selling them. We don’t want to spoil your imagery by revealing that this was nothing more than a marketing stunt because we would absolutely love for invisibility cloaks to be a reality. Right now, unfortunately only in the movies, and not actually being sold at this store.
It isn’t so much that we can tell you that invisibility cloaks don’t exist; the problem is that they’re invisible and so we wouldn’t really be able to tell you if they were actually a physical object.
The New and Improved Way to Use a Banana
And we really, really hope that someone didn’t buy these bananas to use as a boomerang. Mostly because, whatever it’s tossed, the let down will be high and it will just kind of flop out on the ground. And because a banana will not immediately return to you after you have flung it, that is why they are much better to eat and not to play with. Fortunately, there are no disappointments when you sink your teeth into one, as they are virtually always excellent.
Seems like an innocent prank a customer probably wanted to pull on everyone else in the store and if you called these bananas organic toys.
That’s What We Call a Balanced Diet
Admittedly, if you love a bit of plonk the only option is to leg it to the supermarket for a bottle, as you are allowed one over lunch. Its way more probable that the person who stocked the shelves did not notice the sign above the wine bottles line before, but we are just gonna have some fun with the label. Perhaps there are even some bona fide meals in the same aisle on the other side of the shelves that complement the wine.
Now to others, not ready meal, but at least this supermarket isn’t shy in offering its customers the choice of a bottle of breakfast wine.
Garlic: Good for Cooking and for Repelling Vampires
Consequently, vampire hunters must transport this crucial and odorous form of deterrent (which almost universally, is garlic) for protection. Garlic does keep vampires away, but if you’re walking around with containers of garlic, vampires won’t be the only thing staying the fuck away from you. So, maybe just use the product for cooking and not try to hunt terrifying monsters that may/ may not be real for your own well being.
As though you didn’t already learn this from the movies, garlic scares the hell out of vampires, for some reason. Therefore, this might be the section to head to before the vampire hunt.
Buy in Bulk, Just Like the Hulk
Not everyone buys in bulk, and some people only want what they need, while other shoppers absolutely love, love, love the ability to buy their favorites and extend them for the best cost savings. Despite being a movie character with no real-life equivalent, this mega-box-store says that buying in bulk will get you Hulk-sized. That may not be the case, exactly, but maybe the average-sized customer should at least give it a shot.
In any event, Hulk must buy in bulk; although, considering how big he is, that’s not really that surprising. Yet, this shop seems to think that the same kind of action should be performed by all of its customers with an average size.
Sometimes Honesty Is the Best Policy
Remember: most stores make an item seem much better than it really is, but this store does the opposite. They’re stuffing everything “not quite the best but still good” into one bin, and reducing the price for it significantly. They did this to inform their customers that, while they may not be eating premium products in this part of the store, that doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be delicious.
And not only did these have a huge price drop, but this supermarket also informed consumers why while also being kind enough to tell them that there are more moral alternatives.
There Could Always Be Bears Up Ahead
When the alternative is a tall, frosty beverage or the risk of an encounter with bears, there really is no other option. Which is why this bar is getting pedestrian traffic to take a left instead of walking past to whatever is next — who knows what may be lurking upon the horizon. To be honest, you won’t encounter bears, but the person who wrote this on the chalkboard is a marketing genius.
This bar just wanted to remind us of that because the odds of encountering a bear while strolling down a suburban sidewalk are fairly low, but certainly not zero.
Someone Here Had a Lot of Time on Their Hands
The Marvel movies are hugely successful, and it feels like a fresh one is being shoved into your local cineplex twice a year. Because these characters are both really popular, I guess this artist had an idea of a showdown being that he made art out of a soda can boxes and challenged Superman vs Ironman. While it has a message and purpose to its advertising, the display is simply cool for shoppers to gaze at.
This soda wall art may have actually been designed for the avengers, But whoever designed this is a superhero amongst mortals simply because it is so detailed.
The Perfect Post-Apocalyptic Gift
The zombie apocalypse may not be upon us just yet — but it wouldn’t hurt to plan ahead, you know, just in case. Or so thinks whoever erected this sign, with a dash of pillaging mentality too. Those knives — suggested for holiday present for canoeists and hunters in the original store sign — got a comic treatment when someone altered the recommendations.
The only kind of person to refer to knives as anything other than a tool is likely a criminal; or as good as a criminal; or at least an end-times enthusiast.
We Call This One “farm to Grocery Cart”
If you thought convenience stores already made your life easier, think again, because this one takes convenience up a notch by allowing people to harvest their own mushrooms. Instead of preselected ones in a bin that they picked out of, they turned that space into a real mushroom farm, and it looks great. This allowed them to incorporate a farming experience into their customers weekly shop, whereby the customers get to enjoy a hell of a lot more than at any other super market.
We’ve never actually come across a pick-and-choose-your-own-mushroom option in any nearby supermarket [and if you have, we’re actually kind of jealous because nothing beats freshly picked veggies.
Mutant Ninja Turtles Love Pizza
There are lots of various types of media that artists will certainly use to create, but raw hamburger is more than a little uncommon. This meat was crafted into a Ninja Turtle, and while I would assume a butcher working behind the counter might be a secret artist, still, someone was with some skills! Such a design is guaranteed to turn heads, and when compared to some generic slab of meat, a consumer would likely straighten up to take this particular piece of art home.
Raw ground beef is a little less than palatable, but pizza is, and if you know anything about the TMNT (or us), you know that these guys enjoy a slice of pie.
These Cheese Orphans Need a Home
Cheese, not typically thought of as cutsey, right? This particular store found a way to achieve this. They were probably left with a lot of extra pieces of cheese, so they wanted to find an adorable way to offload excess cheese individually. Technically, that’s not wrong, and thus they dubbed these cheese orphans. Every chunk is in fact alone and seeking a home — that of the cold drawer of a refrigerator.
These orphans are made out of cheese and can be eaten and you will have no guilt. And I’m sure, they also taste quite delicious.
“Walkin’ Around” beer and “Sittin’ Down” beer are not the same at all.
Sometimes it can be a bit boring walking around a supermarket so a supermarket put out a bucket of beer cans which their customers can walk around with to add a little more fun to the experience. They’re also just 99 cents, so no one will have to empty out their wallet to enjoy the in-store experience before crossing anything off their list. This should be a compulsory slogan in any shop selling beer cans at a decent price – like this one.
Then you have people who absolutely despise shopping — which lead this store to put out a bunch of beer cans to satisfy the haters and try to make shopping more pleasant than it has ever been.
What’s Next? Paying Their Clients?
When this sign says that no one can beat prices in this store, it is dead right. The reason is because there is really not much lower than $0.00 and at that point there is no competition. We’re not sure whether this store was actually offering these storage containers for free. Could be a spelling mistake here — but either way, customers here had enough of a justification to attempt to pay nothing for these products.
While your parents might not quite be right — after all, how much do we pay to walk around under a blue sky? — they are at least partially correct in stating that nothing in life is free. However, that guideline doesn’t work here as far as containers go.
The Best Way to Target the Meme Generation
This internet-famous meme is called the Doge and it has gone viral on the internet more times than we can count. This super market was capitalising on the Doges fame that an artist painted the dog on a sign and made it a better grocery store meme. Well, they may have done this to get those chocolate bars sale, but truth be told, this sign is just too fun to look at.
Today, in a way, memes become a kind of secret language of the younger generation. This shop had an exact idea of whom their market for these chocolate bars were.
Can You Believe That’s Made of Chalk?
Only once a year are the stores allowed to invoke fear to convince you to purchase candy, and that time is Halloween. I took a well-known candy slogan and turned it into one of those nightmares where.some werewolf is checking in to remind you to buy some from this store. This is probably a sales method you wouldn’t suggest at any other time of year, but this monstrosity of a poster seems to sound okay in the season of all things gruesome.
As Halloween is the season that kind of lends itself to fear and horror, that is truly the best policy when it comes to making a sale — at least for this type of season.
Love or Tequila
It’s not the bar’s actual Valentine’s Day special that is especially interesting, but rather the choice being presented by the bar between a drink and love in general. We all know this time of the year is not for everyone but don’t worry, this bar is open and they welcome all of you out there as customers. It’s kind of a nice little advice, like hey tequila comes with a price when most of the time love is free.
If you’re single on Valentine’s Day, all of us would prefer to go with the tequila instead of love. And it was a bar like this one that already knew that and put out this genius sign as a reminder.
A Guaranteed Good Shopping Experience
With this supermarket have served hanging out free drinks to all of its customers, there must be a yawning number of shoppers who would never want to leave it. They probably did it because they wanted to eliminate loose or single items, but also just to give everyone the opportunity, to have the best shopping experience they ever had. For all of the regulars who call this store home amongst the other supermarkets, grocery store trips just became ten times better.
Many find shopping to be such a pointless activity, it makes sense to just get it over with. That is the reason why this one store is handing out a little liquid fun to all of its shoppers.
Poems Are Hard but Eating Bacon Isn’t
Bacon isn’t for everybody, yet as a contact that most certainly won’t come from this bistro, it will on least have you as mindful of the nearness of bacon and that it truly tastes not terrible. They tried to poem it and ended up with a nonsensical but at least silly poem. But whoever wrote this is correct about one thing- poems are very difficult and food is very easy and I guess that’s kind of the point here.
The restaurant behind the advertising kept it clever and short, but they seemed to have piqued enough interest that a passing pedestrian stopped to take this photo.
Prices so Low, They’re Out of a (Simpsons) Dream
Futurama’s Fry could be one of the best meme’d animated characters of all time so an electronic store made its own out of a Fry meme. And clearly, even the low prices at this store weren’t enough to keep their products from flying off the shelves, so this sign also did the trick. It reminded its customers that its sales are exactly as dreamy as they seem, and they probably won’t score these prices anywhere else.
Absolutely love walking into one of the store you love and they too have super low prices. Such a surprise would surely bring a smile to anyone and leave your pocket a little lighter too.
A Bit of Drinking Encouragement
We sure hope, though, that after reading this sign, no one actually went ahead and drank all the cider. After all, then the store which put this sign up sure would have a big mess to clean up. Stores apparently enjoy getting into the meme game and then pass that information off to those coming to the store. For the boosting of their sales or only the laughing, the technique is a real jam.
Cider Sally Cider drinkers will either love cider like crazy or rather drink anything else, but still this place figured they would put out a little sign to at least motivate their customers.
Fight Colds Like the Success Kid
Not only is this sign masterful but then again, let not the truth be hidden, as a little inspirational can be something true as well. What we do not need during the Winter season is getting hit by a cold or flu, and who does not want to win the battle agaisnt the flu and cold? But it works so well that even we wanna hunt for this store and buy anything they have to sell in this aisle, and you probably do the same.
No one is doing better at any thing than those mammals in the Success Kid meme who also apparently only purchase homeopathic products in this aisle just to stay healthy.
Coffee Is a Human Necessity
Truth be told, we are going to say that education is way more important than a cup of coffee, but this is a sign that drives sales for marketing effectiveness. Anyone going to class in the vicinity of this sign may get encouraged to drop by for a cup of coffee before reaching the end point. While the best education can provide a good future, coffee can at least get you though the present, count in the present and perhaps that is the point.
Fortunately, coffee and education actually go together like peanut butter and jelly — at least we know because the majority of students love to buy a cup of coffee to go along with their pre-class walk.
Well, That Marketing Ploy Didn’t Work Out Too Well
This soup company wanted to see whether their consumers liked something a little more light and homestyle than what they normally offer. In order to do this, they installed a big button in front of the soup section of that supermarket to check the number of likes over a month. Sadly, the number was not that high, meaning either people did not love this soup, or no one could be bothered to vote when they were grocery shopping.
Either the patrons of this grocery store laissez faire walked past the button with nary a second thought, or not a lot of people really appreciate the Home Style version of this soup.
