Y'ALL GOT ANY OF THEM HALLOPINYERS

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".

Yeah, I was going to take a guess. As someone who has dealt with random farmers in the middle of nowhere, at least one of the two are going to be true:
That will be the best produce you have ever laid eyes on.
The person misspelled things on purpose, to grab peoples’ attention.
You’ll be able to fill an entire grocery bag with produce, for like $3.
There are a lot of places like this, where you’ll get some really high quality stuff for basically no money. As long as you’re friendly, they’ll usually give you some crazy good deals.
The best tamales you’ll ever taste? They come out of the back of a beat-up minivan in a hardware store parking lot, at the crack of dawn. Just cruise through a Home Depot lot as the sun is rising, and look for the car surrounded by people. Bring cash in small bills.
- at least one of the two are going to be true
  lists three items
  I see what you did there. But I'll still judge you for it...
I was gonna say, you'd have to work hard to misspell this hard. Twas not accidental. 10/10 marketing!
dude's marketing worked on me. you can't misspeel that badly unintentionallly

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.
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.
- 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
Oh no, rage bait posts have come to real life.

Reading the comments shows a lot of people do not understand satire, especially when the opportunity to talk trash about America/Texas/American education is on the line.

Poe's law. Maybe it's satire. Equally possible it's ignorance.
The AVERAGE reading level in the US is seventh grade. We're at the point where they might as well retranslate the Bible back to Latin because people can't barely read it.

"literally no words"

look inside

words

Letters, maybe. Words? That's debatable.
- "Bail" is technically a word. Okay I guess wordS (plural) is debatable.
i count one word: bail - the temporary release of a person awaiting trial. the rest, i gotta guess
- Maters is a word

Fucking hell "maters" 🍅

I mean, those are the ones actually spelled correctly for the regional dialect.
- Tbh, excepting maybe bail peprs, I think they’re all written phonetically for the local accent.
- Took me the longest to identify though. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em inna stew.
I guess they don't have any naners?
you say maters I say martyrs

Oh they are bilingual.

Hallo Pinyo, wer auch immer du bist.

That's so cute lmfao
- Pin~~head~~yo

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

Zucchini

Potatoes + Tomatoes

Jalapenos

Bell Pepper

Thank you for the deciphering, I was completely lost at potat 'n' tomat
I had no idea those actually were words.

Smh can't even spell gellapinnose right.

“Bail“ is a word.

This is my favourite word on the sign. People used to spell this way (however they liked, and by accent).
And I can HEAR this person's voice through the words. Beautiful
Right, right. Came here to say this. Although of course it’s not the correct word. 🤣
- The peppers are being held on bail. You're not purchasing them, you're bailing them out.
These are the good ones ya get to celebrate getting out

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

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

On a road trip, I drove by a farm that sells "Sweet Cron'.
Thinking it was a mistake, I saw more signs bragging about the Sweet Cron they had. So definitely on purpose.
- i don't buy sweet cron, i only buy sweat cron it tsates batter

Really puts the hick in vee-hickle

Bet those maters taste awesome tho...

Exact what I was thinking. The less literate the farmer, the better the yield!
- I was thinking more like: if the advertising is that bad but they can still sell their produce, it must be good.
What's a mater?
No really, I don't know what it is. Is it like a local dialect for tomato?
- You are correct. Ever seen Cars? The tow truck's name is Mater for this reason.

Yet i know whats for sale.

Common Wittgenstein W.

Read this in maters voice

Omfg! Same!

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

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

So this shows that America is great again. Obvs.

Showing the brilliance of the American education system

Why couldn't the señorita have babies?

Because her husband had a Hallowpiner!

....🦗🦗🦗... Ill see myself out.

Translation please!

It's all spelled phonetically. Zucchini, potatoes ('taters), tomatoes ('maters), jalapenos, bell peppers.
- I wasn't making any sense of that. Thank you.

Technically, “bail” is a word… it’s not the right word but it is a word.

No prizes for guessing why that's the one word they can spell
Was thinking, it's the only one they've seen recently

Person drives up and starts bitching at this guy.

His response?

"I have no words." [Throws his hands up]

I'm more interested in these bail peprs, I wonder what the conversion rate is?

I brought my family to visit my mom a few months ago and we saw one of her shopping lists scribbled on an envelope. Yikes.

I now ask my wife if we have Ibeuprofan and Tielanal.

Ah you're talking about the I.B. profin. Easy mistake to make
- Right right, brilliant thanks. Always messing that up.

We don’t need no education

we don't got no education

I hope they accept crypto.

proper english spelling sucks anyways

English is my only language and yeah.

And these stupid dipshit inbred mother fuckers are allowed to vote, which they do against their own interests by voting overwhelmingly Republican.

Yo they do this on purpose, you see it all the time with roadside stands. Weird and nonstandard signs are more attention grabbing and indicate a true smalltime business, so even commercial roadside stands are starting to have signage like this. You'd do well to give more credit to the intelligence of these people - the motivations behind why they're like this are invaluable when being forced to interact with them (be that interpersonally or politically), and can help a great deal when trying to preempt or mitigate the damage they can do.
- We can absolutely all play together. The real problems come about when adults try to talk, and these fuckers aren't willing to handle it. I almost said can't, but I thought for a second.
  They are willingly ignorant. You can spend your whole life leading those inbred horses to dirty water, results will absolutely vary.
why do you gotta be all eugenicsy about it
Exceedingly kind of you to assume they can read a ballot.

It ain't got no gas in it!

This is some Timothy's Dexter "Pickle for the Knowing Ones" level spelling

Illiterate Murikkans. Fucking shithole country.

I bet that's some lit produce, maybe not much heat to those jalapenos though.

Technically there's 6 words, whether it's proper english word or not that's not the question.

With a Bail Pepper, I'd imagine his customer base of financial institutions in the USA would be quite long.

We need to fix public education, not dismantle it.

Ah yes, illiteracy. Hilarious.

it's deliberate

Hallo by thy pinyer, bail pepr come, as it is in Aldi, and deliver us our produce A-mater.

jalapeño bell pepper?

Only if you forget to return

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'.

The gang must have let Charlie make the sign again.

What's the problem. I know exactly what they're selling. It ain't 1st grade but anyone can out a seed in the dirt and water it into a behootifool mater.

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