A nearby restaurant does this all the time with their sidewalk sign. They do it not to cheat would-be customers, but to get their attention. I'm told it works. I think that's what's going on here, too.
A marketing angle to confuse and bemuse. I wont bother with any predictable fish puns.
I wonder if a prawn has 'coral sex'? Do they do it 'atoll'? I wrote this comment just for the 'krill' of it. I think I need 'kelp'. I know this comment was 'all at sea'. Yet somehow, it 'warmed the cockles of my heart'. No more fish puns because I'm beginning to 'flounder'. Right, that's enough, I'll 'clam' up now.

Love it. And, sadly many people will feel they have got a bargain.
ReplyDeleteSo true, EC. People seem not to think...or even read the whole thing...but what a deal! ;)
DeleteThat's how it often pans out. Like stores that double the price of an item and then offer it as a two for one.
ReplyDeleteHi Alex! Yes, it's amazing how numbers are juggled to produce the desired outcome, even though people are cheated in the process.
DeleteI would only fall for that if there was a coupon involved.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Good one, Elizabeth. My downfall is buying something I don't need at all - because it's half price!
DeleteWhat a bargain! Too bad it's only a daily special. I won't be able to break free from the office to take advantage of that.
ReplyDeleteSnarf! Good one, Loni! You'd think they'd let us know ahead of time...
DeleteIt's kind of confusing... I think I need more tea.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Mary. Make sure it's not the sleepy-time kind. :)

ReplyDeleteI agree, Ron. Tongue-in-cheek advertising. :)

DeletePawsitively tail-wagging goodness, straight from the puppy's mouth. ;)
I had to count on my fingers to be absolutely sure I was getting it right. :-)
ReplyDeleteHa! No counting on fingers allowed, Lee. Save your fingers for eating the double order of fish and chips! :)
DeleteLOL! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol! :)
DeleteNow I'm hungry for fish and chips! Only one though, please :)
ReplyDeleteWell now, Kate...since the second one is "free" I'll come eat with you! :)
