does not belong to banana, perhaps


Not the first banana-related image on this site. What's the deal, grocers? Also, I'm not sure what a quotation mark as incorrect apostrophe means, exactly. Maybe a snarky sign-maker was mocking someone's suggestion that they use an apostrophe. Thanks, Brian.

  1. Looks like someone was holding the shift key down, making what would have merely been a grammatically incorrect word grammatically unreadable.

  2. I agree with jeff. I'm curious about the "1 lb lb" at the bottom though.

  3. I think the quotes should be around "a Lot". Save "a Lot".

  4. One must be better than none; two must be better than one. I'm looking forward to "banana'"s."

  5. I'm also wondering what benefit getting 40% off of "everyday" offers to me. I'm not even sure what "everyday" is. Is it edible?

  6. 1 lb lb just means they can charge you 88 cents instead of 44.

    Here is 1 lb lb of banana"s and you pay 44 cents per lb.

    Have you ever seen the bananas at Wal-Mart? It looks like someone pounded them before putting them on display. One pound of pounded bananas.

  8. must they duplicate everything? we got a double apostrophe, 44c 1 lb lb, followed by 44c per lb. and it's bananas, which already has too many na's, and they're 44c. it's all just too too.

  9. I believe that's the 'super apostrophe' -- too bad it's still just as ill placed. Normally it would indicate a pathological possessive.

  10. Oh man, hilarious. All the better it's a Save a Lot.
