Not quite in the spirit of cheaper by the dozen
(1) Yet another reason not to stack type. (Typographic No-No #1: Don’t stack type. If you want it to run vertically, turn it sideways 90 degrees. Stacked type makes my eyes hurt and the baby Jesus cry.)
(2) I wanna know if the prices for chicken nuggets (cut off at the right) are equally squirrely.
I understand the concept of selling at a lower per unit price as the quantity increases. But going up and down like that doesn’t make any sense. Heck. One 6 pc plus one 9 pc is less than the 15 pc. Please tell me nobody buys the 15 pc wings. That just simple addition and doesn’t even require division for the price per unit.
More on stacked type: This sign makes me twitch every time I go past it. A kazillion bucks to build these fancy condos and they hire a signmaker who flunked Typography 101.
I actually frequent the joint and 15 is just about the right number of hot wings. First time around I tried reasoning with the fellow behind the counter. That worked but was time-consuming. Ever since then I place “an order of 6 hot wings, and also an order of 9 hot wings”.
No kiddin’.
One I DON’T have a snapshot of, unfortunately:
Bagel place in the East Bronx. “Just Bagels”. Big-ass slogan painted on the side of the building: “They’re not bagels unless they’re Just Bagels®”. Big-ass note painted on the front of the building, also visible on approach from the side: “Just Bagels is now Ess-a-Bagel”
Umm, thanks for the warning.
Ouch!
Rictus morache?
That may have been due to an ownership change and the new owner didn’t want to pay the former one for the rights to use the name. That happened to a shop called “Foster’s Donuts” near me once, yet the new owner didn’t want to pay for a new sign, either. His solution was to rename it “_oster’s Donuts.”
Well, yeah, but you’d think they’d paint out the slogan that implies that the establishment, under the new name, doesn’t sell real bagels any more, wouldn’t you?
