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".

Right, right. Came here to say this. Although of course it’s not the correct word. 🤣

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 50 minutes ago (1 children)

The peppers are being held on bail. You're not purchasing them, you're bailing them out.

[–] marker2002@midwest.social 3 points 28 minutes ago

You mean the peprs...

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 hour ago

Fear not the man who has spelt 10000 words right but the man who sold their education to grow hallopinyos.

[–] iamnotme@feddit.uk 1 points 15 minutes ago

We don’t need no education

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 49 minutes ago

I hope they accept crypto.

What's taters precious

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

I can read every bit of it. Its really more phonetic than most road side produce signs around here.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Oh there are words. Most of them are incorrect though.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 33 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

AND a superiority complex

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 18 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

It's all spelled phonetically. Zucchini, potatoes ('taters), tomatoes ('maters), jalapenos, bell peppers.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 hours ago

I wasn't making any sense of that. Thank you.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Badly written to get people to stop. Like “Graj sale”

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 2 points 37 minutes 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 3 points 1 hour ago

100% this. Look at us all taking about this and not a sign with a couple typos.

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Zucchini

Potatoes + Tomatoes

Jalapenos

Bell Pepper

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

I had no idea those actually were words.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 13 points 6 hours ago

Thank you for the deciphering, I was completely lost at potat 'n' tomat

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

Showing the brilliance of the American education system

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz -1 points 1 hour ago

proper english spelling sucks anyways

[–] Nebula@fedia.io 41 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Oh they are bilingual.

Hallo Pinyo, wer auch immer du bist.

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

That's so cute lmfao

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 hours ago

Ah yes, illiteracy. Hilarious.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

jalapeño bell pepper?

[–] jcs@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

Hey, that's good marketing. It grabs attention and we're talking about it.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 6 hours ago

I need hella penis for muh salsa.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 7 hours ago

Really puts the hick in vee-hickle

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 74 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

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 19 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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 2 points 4 hours 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

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 32 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

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".

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 16 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] bryndos@fedia.io 8 points 6 hours ago

I think you mean they went to Y'aIl.

Taters and maters are at least spelled correctly.
I would also like to point out that things like this happen a lot in game discussion treads. Someone will make a comment like 'I really like FJDHF's combat system' and someone else will reply 'that game got so much better after the DIH DLC'.

[–] Iceman@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

Yet i know whats for sale.

Common Wittgenstein W.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 52 points 10 hours ago

Tried too hard. Anyone who's illiterate with that much phonetic knowledge would've gone for peper at least.

So this shows that America is great again. Obvs.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 53 points 11 hours ago (6 children)

Fucking hell "maters" 🍅
