    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.

      A lot of them do, especially the secretly commercial stands that are getting all too common. Like the cat says, “you are not immune to propaganda advertising”.

        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.

        And just because I made this up, doesn’t mean it’s not true.

        …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
