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”.

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:

That will be the best produce you have ever laid eyes on.

The person misspelled things on purpose, to grab peoples’ attention.

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.

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

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