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

What’s it called when you’re not smart enough to spot an obvious marketing gimmick?

AND a superiority complex
jcs@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Hey, that’s good marketing. It grabs attention and we’re talking about it.

On a road trip, I drove by a farm that sells "Sweet Cron’.
Thinking it was a mistake, I saw more signs bragging about the Sweet Cron they had. So definitely on purpose.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 months ago
i don’t buy sweet cron, i only buy sweat cron it tsates batter

Technically there’s 6 words, whether it’s proper english word or not that’s not the question.

Hallo by thy pinyer, bail pepr come, as it is in Aldi, and deliver us our produce A-mater.

So this shows that America is great again. Obvs.

This is some Timothy’s Dexter “Pickle for the Knowing Ones” level spelling
Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
EarthshipTechIntern01@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
Klear@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Spelling errors were frequent, but they got pushed out of meta by just asking a question.
“Here’s a screenshot from [game]. What’s your favourite?”
…and everyone proceeds to just post their fav game without reading any other comments and the post shoots up to the top of /r/all
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
Oh no, rage bait posts have come to real life.
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 8 months ago
A lot of them do, especially the secret commercial chain stabds that are getting all too common. Like the cat says, “you are not immune to
propagandaadvertising”.skisnow@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
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.

With a Bail Pepper, I’d imagine his customer base of financial institutions in the USA would be quite long.
roguetrick@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Tried too hard. Anyone who’s illiterate with that much phonetic knowledge would’ve gone for peper at least.
Sergio@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Bet those maters taste awesome tho…
ByteJunk@lemmy.world 8 months ago
What’s a mater?
No really, I don’t know what it is. Is it like a local dialect for tomato?
jawa21@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
You are correct. Ever seen Cars? The tow truck's bame is Mater for this reason.
Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Exact what I was thinking. The less literate the farmer, the better the yield!
Sergio@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I was thinking more like: if the advertising is that bad but they can still sell their produce, it must be good.
AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I bet that’s some lit produce, maybe not much heat to those jalapenos though.
BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 8 months ago
And these stupid dipshit inbred mother fuckers are allowed to vote, which they do against their own interests by voting overwhelmingly Republican.
carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
why do you gotta be all eugenicsy about it
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yo they do this on purpose, you see it all the time with roadside stands. Weird and nonstandard signs are more attention grabbing and indicate a true smalltime business, so even commercial roadside stands are starting to have signage like this. You’d do well to give more credit to the intelligence of these people - the motivations behind why they’re like this are invaluable when being forced to interact with them (be thst interpersonally or politically)
Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
We can absolutely all play together. The real problems come about when adults try to talk, and these fuckers aren’t willing to handle it. I almost said can’t, but I thought for a second.
They are willingly ignorant. You can spend your whole life leading those inbred horses to dirty water, results will absolutely vary.
i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Exceedingly kind of you to assume they can read a ballot.
procrastitron@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Technically, “bail” is a word… it’s not the right word but it is a word.
DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months ago
No prizes for guessing why that’s the one word they can spell

Took me the longest to identify though. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em inna stew.
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Tbh, excepting maybe bail peprs, I think they’re all written phonetically for the local accent.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Badly written to get people to stop. Like “Graj sale”
Alaik@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
I used to spend a lot of time in this area (years and years ago) and the guy did indeed write it up to grab people’s attention.
hansolo@lemmy.today 8 months ago
100% this. Look at us all taking about this and not a sign with a couple typos.
