7-Eleven's Bring Your Own Cup Promo

Slurpees are a staple of American grocery stores, especially for those looking to attract people with a sweet tooth. Interestingly, Omar Knedlik invented the drink in the '60s. And since 1966, the retail store giant "7-Eleven" has had Slurpee machines in its outlets.

So, in 2016, they decided to celebrate 50 years of serving customers with this tasty drink. For $1.50, each person could walk into any 7-Eleven outlet with almost any container to take as much Slurpee as possible. An aquarium was the container of choice for this man. And, while he has plenty to offer his visitors, we can only hope the aquarium was clean.

A Disaster Waiting to Happen

The accessibility signs at facilities are a welcome sight. After all, they make it clear that they are considerate of people who use wheelchairs. However, the sign on a ramp this high raises questions in your mind. There is a reason why an accessible ramp should be inclined between 5 and 10°.

The ladder beside the ramp looks good. But we wish the picture would have shown us where the contraption leads us. While we can't figure out the destination, the whole thing is a disaster waiting to happen for anyone who dares climb the ramp. Someone didn't pay enough attention during physics classes.

 

When Sunroofs Start to Rain on your Parade

Remember sunroofs? Those movable glass panels used in automobiles to let in fresh air and light? They have been featured in cars since the beginning of the 20th century. And while they add to the aesthetics of most vehicles, they pose another problem whenever their owners forget to close them after a ride.

This Honda's owner must have been lost in thought to leave their sunroof open during winter. Now, they've got to remove all that snow before it ruins the upholstery. As if shoveling snow to free up the driveway was not stressful enough. Even their caption shows they wish they'd done better.

Ombre Nails Are To "Dye" For

Fashion is one way to express yourself. And thanks to dyes, anyone can be as creative as they want. Clothes are your canvas, and you are Pablo Picasso. Still, there's the issue of using the right tools to get the job done. And no one knows that better than Tumblr user "ghostoflalonde."

According to them, this resulted from using the wrong glove to dye an outfit. Ombre nails are one thing, but this lady has given herself an ombre painting for her entire hand. The tattoo of the roman numeral 666 even makes the accidental paint job scarier than ever.

An Interesting Twist to Cinemas

This image could be the perfect nonverbal response if you asked childless couples why they made that decision. After all, parents of young kids now have to keep their children entertained when they want to watch a movie. It's a good time to note that this is the Cine Yelmo Tres Aguas in Spain.

The playground includes a slide, and the vibrant colors will surely appeal to kids. But for singles who plan to see the latest blockbuster, this place may be too much to handle. Those planning to visit should arrive early to give their children some much-needed play time before the film begins.

Salad Greens You Don't Want to Eat

Almost every one of us has heard our parents say, "Eat your greens." And who can blame them? Kids would rather eat sweets all day than eat healthy vegetables. As essential as vegetables are, it goes without saying that they must be carefully prepared.

A perfectly green praying mantis does not provide any nutritional value that makes them worth eating. But this Redditor named "DirgeofElliot" almost ate one that made its way into their salad. Luckily, they spotted it early. Ideally, they should have abandoned the rest of the salad. Still, we have to admit that the piece of chicken looks good.

Traffic Light in the Middle of Nowhere

You can't deny the importance of traffic lights. Although traffic offenders hate them, they are necessary. Still, there's the question of where to use them. Ideally, you'd expect to find a traffic light in a busy metropolitan area. But someone thought it'd be a good idea to install this one on a dirt road.

The picture is puzzling and makes you wonder if there'd been a surge in accidents here. Or was someone just too generous to donate an $80K piece of equipment to this village? And the lack of cameras on this one makes it difficult to believe people will not violate traffic laws.

Fort Knox Level Security

It is well known that Fort Knox is a very secure military facility in the United States. And whoever owned this bike might have mirrored that same vigilance in protecting their bike. They had to park their bike and decided it would be best to keep it separate from the vehicles in the backdrop.

The solution was to chain the bicycle with a lock. And while that's normal, it takes a certain level of confidence to chain one's bike to a wooden pole. After all, what's stopping any potential thief from lifting his bicycle? There's something the owner of this bike knows that he's not telling us.

An Unfitting Disguise

The first step to disguising something is to ensure you blend in with your environment. So, when this person decided to place lemons in a box meant for watermelons, they already gave themselves away. Was there no other box to use? The two fruits are far apart in terms of shape, size, and color.

In terms of nutrition, they are both top-notch sources of vitamin C. And smoothie makers know you can combine both fruits to create a delectable smoothie. Mixing both fruits with ginger makes a detoxifying drink for those who take it a notch further. So, this display wasn't off the mark.

We Accept Peppa Pig Currency Here

Before facing the harsh realities of life, children have the good fortune to spend the first few years of their lives living in a fantasy world. Animated series like "Peppa Pig" fuel their fantastical world. One feature of the show is its customized currency known as 'Kregnik.'

After watching the cartoon, this child must have understood how to use money. And to test the validity of what they learned, they decided to spend a Kregnik at a store. Somehow, the person at the stall collected the money from the kid. What a sport! It's only a matter of time before that kid gets a reality check.

The Perfect Camouflage Doesn't Exist...

Every one of us has had to search for something hidden in plain sight. Using your phone's flashlight to look for your phone is one of the silliest examples. However, this person's predicament is understandable because they had to deal with a brilliant camouflage.

If you're yet to see it, there's an iPad on that seat. And the black color and line design mean it'll remain undetected when you place it on a seat like this. Maybe this is a sign to purchase a unique and brightly-colored iPad cover. The unfortunate owner had to go without her iPad for almost two weeks.

Word Problem 101

There are two groups of individuals that went to high school. There are people who like math and those who don't. And for those who loved the subject, word problems were a favorite. Their practical nature meant they could simplify the most relatable problems. And on this day, this pregnant woman's belly is the source of another word problem.

Ideally, it takes nine months for a fetus to attain maturity. So, a woman carrying twins should logically need double the time, right? And if we're taking things a notch higher, women with triplets should take 24 months. Thankfully, nature doesn't operate in that way.

Just a Cheeky Disclaimer to Cover One’s Tracks

Sometimes you don't need to particularly commit a heinous crime before you get yourself on the wrong side of the law. Your offense can be as ridiculous as a sloppy advertisement. One IKEA outlet in the US decided to save itself from any angry customers with a disclaimer.

The ad already featured a gigantic beef hot dog that would have you salivating any day. But just before someone claims they were expecting a true-to-size hot dog for 50 cents, IKEA lets them know the ad was only for pictorial reference. You've got to love the sense of humor of anyone who came up with the idea.

The Hotel Stay That Cost Catherine 10 Years of Her Life

Typos are common, so we might want to go easy on this couple. But for Catherine, so many things don't add up. It's possible that her parents mistakenly listed her age as nine rather than 19. And one direct consequence is her undersized cot for the night.

Still, what if it was deliberate? According to Tripadvisor, most hotels don't mind adding an extra bed if you're coming with a child under 12. So, maybe the cheeky couple was trying to take advantage of that offer. But imagine the look on the manager's face when they saw the so-called nine-year-old that day.

Someone Is Really Going Back to School

Lewiston, Maine, does not frequently garner international recognition. But in 2019, one picture of a Walgreens signpost shared by Laurie Lyn Appleton changed that narrative. It was that time of the year when kids returned to school to kickstart a new term.

As you'd expect, there was a demand for school supplies, and Walgreens reminded residents that they had school supplies in stock. Whoever arranged those letters fumbled the task and swapped the positions of "e" and "s." The result? 'Supplies.' It wouldn't be a big deal if the sign were about almost anything else. But school? Now, that's a blunder for the ages.

Phrasing Gone Bananas

Today, there are over 7,000 languages spoken worldwide. Still, the English language remains one of the most commonly spoken languages. But when you see a product tag like this, it makes you ask many questions. We're going to assume English isn't a first language for whoever wrote this.

You'll first notice "Bananas by the each" which should read "each banana." And if you look closely, you should see "$ per each." Without a doubt, the writer's message got through regardless of the blunder. And if it gets a few laughs from shoppers and makes it to social media, we'll call it a win-win situation.

Now, That’s Cause for Alarm

There's a good reason why fire and smoke detectors are always on the ceiling. Ideally, smoke always rises first. So it makes it easy for the alarm to catch them early. Anyone who's been an expert at installing them should know that the "Installed on" tag refers to the installation date.

But whoever handled this job must have been a rookie. Alternatively, it could be a case of a home owner going the do-it-yourself route. Now, there's no way to tell when the device was fixed. Instead, we know it was installed on the ceiling—as if it was going to be anywhere else.

No More Oreos In The Library

If you asked any group of chocolate lovers what their favorite cookie was, "Oreos" would be a popular choice. Although snacks are frowned upon in libraries, a snack or two shouldn't raise too many eyebrows. So, imagine entering a library only to find a poster like this. Why the sudden vendetta against the cookie?

One Katherine Hayton posted the image to Twitter and had other netizens just as puzzled. In reality, the poster was a cheeky response to a 2013 Super Bowl ad. In the video, library users started a fight over what part of the cookie they preferred. So, which is it for you? Cream or cookie?

Read My Plate!

Vegetable preferences vary from person to person. Some people love the flavor and aroma of onions and garlic. Yet some stay away from them like the plague. This person went to a restaurant and specifically ordered a dish without onions. A pretty straightforward request, right?

Somehow, that detail didn't register in the mind of whoever took their order. Now, they've got a dish with the exact thing they didn't want. Instead of asking for a fresh plate to be made all over, this customer chose a passive-aggressive route. And you've got to admire how they passed the message across. If only the chef had paid half as much attention to the order.

For My Next Magic Trick, a Bottle of Ice

If you felt the urge to facepalm yourself so badly, then we get it. This person's question makes you wonder if we're progressing as a race or regressing. Centuries ago, we had the Newtons and Picassos doing their thing. And today, we have someone asking how a bottle of ice is possible.

Ice is simply water at a subzero temperature. So, no one had to force ice into a plastic bottle. Instead, the bottle of water got too cold and became ice. Now, all it will take to reverse the magic of a bottle of ice will be to let it get warm.

Another Dad Joke, Only Not From a Dad

This tweet is ample proof that grammar lessons are essential. The Twitter user @RealestWalkin made a grammatical error and became famous for it. We all make mistakes in spelling, and homophones are easy to mix up. If we're being honest, Missouri does sound like misery. This lady erroneously interchanged those words when she wanted to tweet, "Misery loves company."

As a nod to the wordplay, Ringo Starr has a 2003-released song named "Missouri Loves Company." Interestingly, there's a 2020 movie with the same name. And you can tell it makes a perfect dad joke for fathers who decide to entertain their families. "What city loves company?" Missouri loves company." Score!

Cat's Got Your Tongue?

One surefire way to sell items can be to include a picture of the item with your pet in the background. A baseball bat with a cat playing around can attract people's attention. But when you're selling something like furniture, there's a preference for those from pet-free homes.

Not only are they free of animal smell, but they also don't have any hair. But honesty is sometimes too much to expect from people. And this eBay seller decided to advertise their couch as being from a pet-free home. However, the cat in the background is happy to set matters straight.

First and Only of Their Name

Unless your parents got creative, you likely share the same name with someone else. A typical example would be Elon Musk's son, X Æ A-Xii Musk. On this day, someone sent this person a direct message demanding an explanation as to why they were using their name.

We can't tell if they're being a troll or seriously oblivious. Anyway, the person on the other end decided to be a good sport and provided a straightforward response. Of course, these two chaps are unique in different ways. Still, their names are the one thing that makes them alike, and they must deal with knowing they're not unique name-wise.

Watch Out: Multiple Exits Ahead

Since 1901, when parking garages made their debut in London, they have become a common sight. And people who use them can testify to their confusing nature. While they take away the stress of finding a parking spot, there have also been multiple cases of parking garages confusing users.

Aside from the horror stories of drivers not finding their vehicles, the signs here are also unclear. The exit sign is undoubtedly essential, but this garage has two signs directing people on a collision course. What route should someone look to exit the lot take? We'll trust the architects and assume the signs point to two different exits.

The Best Things in Life Cost $16.99

When people say the best things in life are free, they're referring to spending time with loved ones. But once you see a sign like that while shopping, it gives a new meaning to that saying. And the first thing on your mind is locating the store's "best things" aisle.

This store just raised its customers' hopes with that cardboard. And those who cared to read further will be disappointed at the $16.99 price tag. It turns out that the sign itself is what sells for that price. If you're hard up on cash, you could listen to Luther Vandross and Janet Jackson's duet with the same title.

Short Names Matter Too

We have many questions to ask with this one. First, who designed this website? And why did they restrict the length of characters for names to four? After all, there are three-letter names like Sam and Zoe. Even names like Yi and Mo exist. And it might come as a surprise to learn of one-letter word names like E.

There must be a way if there is a will, right? Perhaps the user can enter their complete names. So, Leo could spell his name as Leonard while Sam could spell their name as Samantha or Samuel. Whatever the case, we hope they found a way past this limitation.

The result of Distraction While Cooking

For a split second this picture looked like the dessert, brigadeiro. But when you look closer, you'll realize it's just burnt noodles. There are several reasons why noodles are a popular meal. And on top of that list is the ease of preparation. You can dine on the run with noodles that take a few minutes to cook.

But even the most straightforward tasks can be fumbled when you get sloppy. This person probably decided to leave the kitchen and watch a football match on TV for two minutes. But sometimes, two minutes can extend to five or six. And only the smell of burning food reminded them of their mistake.

A Fleet of OCD-Triggering Cars

One of these cars must have started this defiant parking style while the others followed. While it'll be interesting to find out which car led the trend, it also makes you wonder why. Was it some TikTok challenge? Or just a case of everyone copying what they saw?

Someone spotted this in Romania and decided to share the picture on Reddit. And while the white lines should guide car owners to park their cars tilted to the left, they decided right was the way to go. Anyone with OCD will hate this picture. Some drivers even chose to park on the sidewalk, adding to the weirdness of the situation.

A Hilarious Yet Spicy Error

It's common to have an accent when speaking English, especially if it's not your first language. So, words like pepper can get pronounced like paper, and listeners will only know you mean the spice via context. But while you can understand the intended message via speech, the same can't be said with "paper" on a pepper sprinkler jar.

Whoever produced this label has made a hilarious spelling error. And perhaps the mistake was discovered before hundreds of pepper jars were tagged "paper" jars. On the bright side, the error would serve as comedic relief to anyone with a great sense of humor.

Secure the Dirt

These days, content on the internet doesn't have to be innovative to go viral. Anything that appeals to people can suddenly become the next best thing. And this picture certainly fits the bill seeing as it's hilarious. We're just as puzzled as to what this flatbed truck driver wanted to accomplish.

It would make sense to secure the truck with a rope like this if it were carrying something compact, like a bag of grains. But they're transporting what looks like dirt. And to think that they thought this rope would do any good is funny. Wait until they hit the road and the winds wrecks havoc.

Giving 24 Hours a New Meaning

This restaurant is one reason we sometimes need to ask questions even if the answer seems obvious. First, they advertised themselves as being open 24 hours. And that seems too good to be true for a restaurant, right? That 24-hour commitment would make sense if the establishment were an ATM machine.

But then, the restaurant backs down at the last minute and reveals they indeed have working hours. So, if you come here after midnight to 5 AM on Mondays to Saturdays, don't expect anyone to serve you. It's about time they changed the first line of that signpost to tally with reality.

Merman Gets a Fitting Welcome to the MLB

Associated Press writer Howard Ullman made his mark in almost five decades with the brand. But in 2015, he made a blunder when writing on Pat Venditte's MLB debut. Venditte's ability to pitch with both hands was one of his distinguishing qualities.

Of course, using the word ambidextrous can be somewhat bland. So, someone decided to use a synonym. This time they chose a word that had nothing to do with what Ullman meant. The word ambidextrous refers to the ability to use both arms. On the other hand, amphibious means the ability to live on land and water. Who knew a merman had played in the MLB?

What a Bummer!

If you think you're having a bad day, this person's situation may just put you out of your misery. They received an envelope and hurriedly decided to tear it open. Perhaps the sender should have used a bigger envelope to send the money.

Whatever the situation, we hope the note's value wasn't excessive. And think about how awful they must have felt if this was the only money available to take care of urgent necessities. The red envelope, also known as "hongbao" in Chinese tradition, is used to share monetary gifts after a notable event like a marriage or graduation.

When Squatting Is a Foreign Concept

Every now and then, people do things that leave us gobsmacked and this one is just one of them. Ideally, you have several options if you ever need to pick an item that's down a shopping aisle. Some shoppers can bend over with their hands on their knees while others can squat.

But this lady needed to check the bread and decided to use two loaves as a cushion by kneeling on them. Of course, an action like this should warrant the store to force her to pay for those loaves. Imagine if everyone who had to inspect bread did what she did.

The Cool Way to Use Umbrellas

Whatever happened to the old-fashioned way of using an umbrella? Did the umbrella lose a stretcher or two earlier that day? Did it somehow become obsolete? Is this method cooler and more efficient? No one knows about the former, but we know it can't be more efficient.

Maybe this man's significant other was behind him, and he just wanted to amuse them with this silly move. If that was the plan, then he nailed it. Still, we're pretty sure he's only doing something like this because the rain has let up. His silly antics would have been more impressive if he nailed it during a storm.

Art On The Go

Art is subjective, and there are different ways to express yourself. People like this lady allow their medium of creation to handle everything. Her canvas is her neck, and her brush is the pen she used to pack her hair. We can't make sense of whatever she's painting just yet.

While the final result may come out well, we doubt she planned the whole thing. The pen's cap came off without her realizing it, and things went downhill. Next time, it'll be better to use something that can't write on her skin. For today, she'll have to get the drawing off with something like alcohol.

No Toilet Diving, Please

There are hilarious signs, and this one is as funny as they come. First, no one knew there was a sport called toilet diving. What are the rules? Do participants get to throw toy figures into the toilet while judges score their dives?

Anyway, these signs are warning people from participating in the sport. And from the second sign, it's clear that they mean people shouldn't dive into the toilet. Unless people can now shrink themselves like Marvel's Ant-Man, this sign doesn't seem to be passing any new message. Someone may have been drunk and attempted to dive headfirst into the toilet.

What On Earth Are Recycled Babies?

Branding is one task that can either make or break any business. Selecting a business name can be daunting. This business may have been going for the shock effect when it named itself "Recycled Baby." What exactly do they mean by recycled baby? Is that what Gen Z now calls an adopted child?

In reality, this is an actual business operating out of Pennsylvania. Recycled Baby was initially a website for reselling children's items. But since 2020, it's been rebranded as a blog on several topics, like how to make money online. So, not to worry, the sign isn't any cause for alarm.

When Is the 4th of July?

The 4th of July is indeed one of the most well-known holidays in the US. After all, it's their independence day. But when this lady came on Facebook to ask when the holiday was going to hold, she successfully confused us. The date for the 4th of July is as clear as ever.

So, why is she asking if it's on the 15th or 16th? Someone has replied to her and cleared the air to make the whole thing funnier. In their alternate universe, independence day falls on July 15. Who are we to doubt their reality if they claim that is the date?

Did They Skip the Word Male?

Sometimes reading as carefully as possible has its benefits. And we think that's the case with whoever decided to reply to this Facebook post. The poster only wanted to listen to suggestions for an ideal name for a male puppy. Sadly, this person in the comment section doesn't seem to understand what the word male means.

Alternatively, we think they read through the post too quickly to see the word "male." Now, you can imagine the look on the author's face when they saw the response asking if the puppy was a boy or a girl. No one can blame anyone who thinks the comment was an attempt to troll OP.
