10+ Hilarious Supermarket Fails That Really Make You Wonder

Supermarkets: without them, we’d all die of hunger. These storehouses of food and drink have aisle upon aisle of offerings. And sometimes, you might just happen upon something that’s truly weird.

That cart’s seen some things.

I love how the person who put the carts away was totally unfazed by the fact that one of these carts was apparently lying on the ocean floor for a few decades.

Close enough.

These tiles might not be pretty, but they’re still functional. If you focus on them too much, it’s going to be impossible to push your cart in anything that resembles a straight line.

Either way, sugar is sugar.

You know, I’d quibble with the obvious fail here. But then again, if you’re in the mood for donuts, it isn’t too hard to re-adjust that craving and focus it on cookies.

Extra fibre.

One could look at this and see a sandwich that literally includes a price tag as one of its ingredients. But on the flip side, it’s a sandwich with some bonus roughage inside.

Mixed messages.

This “fresh catch” salmon was also previously frozen. Make up your mind, salmon packagers! Also, this expires in 2008. I hope this pic was taken in 2008 and not 2019.

You’ll get some weird looks.

If you’re desperate enough for a sun hat that you’ll look in the grocery store, you might be the kind of person who would throw this on your head and think “good enough”.

Hmmm.

This is normally the best aisle, but this sign is giving me pause. I’m just going to believe that this is referring to, like, sacks…sacks of nuts. Weird way to put it, though.

The other white meat.

I’d excuse this as a simple typo, but the B and P keys are nowhere near one another on the keyboard. There’s also the troubling fact that “bork” is a noise associated with dogs…

It’s that time of year again.

It seems like every retail store now makes “back to school” signs and plasters them all over the store. When Halloween is just around the corner, it’s a surefire recipe for horrifying hilarity.

This box had one request.

Realistically, I can’t see any harm in putting this box on a shelf, even though it isn’t aesthetically pleasing. But can you just keep it off the shelf all the same? That’s all it’s asking for.

Either way, commit.

This could be seen as a fail. It could also be a fork in the road. It demands commitment, one way or the other: commit to fitness, or commit to delicious mini donuts.

That’s a load-bearing bottle.

It’s a little bit troubling that the store manager is using Tropicana Coco Blends in lieu of an actual repair job. If those bottles are removed, will the entire store fall down?

Hi, my name is…

This is an argument against automation. If a human had reviewed this rather than a robot, they would have realized that no one wants name tags for a person named (blank).

Reduced from what??

Usually that bright orange tag is a sign for bargainsville. But these potatoes have been reduced to $45. They’d better be some freakin’ delicious potatoes if they’re charging that much for them.

Is that a threat?

I have two quibbles here. First, you’re not next if you stand next to this sign. You’re next if you’re the second person in line. Also, I’m pretty sure this sign is issuing a vague warning.

¡Bocadillos de fruta!

It looks like every other sign in this store has been made bilingual. But for someone who speaks only Spanish, they may never find those delicious Welch’s fruit snacks.

Math is hard.

I have no idea what bacon and cheese whirlers are, and whether they sound delicious or disgusting. Putting that thought aside, would you rather pay £1 or £1.50 for them? The sign gives you the choice.

Only the best.

The products underneath this sign give the picture of the baby new meaning. Is that baby laughing with joy, or is it screaming with terror because they’re getting beer rather than formula?

I’ll pass.

There are many signs like this. It’s obviously short for “assorted”, but it’s the worst possible abbreviation. Do the people who make these signs even think about the fact that they’re advertising ass muffins?

Schrödinger’s sign.

The instructions on this sign are unclear. Enter? Don’t enter? Dive through the glass? I think I’d just walk away and never come back. Otherwise the instructions would make me descend into madness.
