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

I see what you did there. But I’ll still judge you for it…
Glad it at least made someone twitch. I got a good chuckle as I was typing it out.
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
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.
Too stupid to spot an obvious and funny marketing gimmick.
“Murica dumb!”
Like when they elected a stupid rapist as their president, twice. That was just a goof. Idiots
Typical European fragility. They’ll be like “Murica dumb! Can’t do dates right!” but then they’ll shut their mouths real quick when people point out that Japan does it differently too.
“literally no words”
look inside
words
Letters, maybe. Words? That’s debatable.
“Bail” is technically a word. Okay I guess wordS (plural) is debatable.
Maters is a word
Matters is a word, wtf is ‘maters’?
Plural of mater
A bit of a stretch to qualify an archaic British slang term as a word in this context, but I guess it’s technically correct.
Use the 2nd definition if you prefer
Can’t trust anyone these days
i count one word: bail - the temporary release of a person awaiting trial. the rest, i gotta guess
Maters is a word
i never said i was good at counting
It’s funny cause I can still read and understand what they are selling.
Are they selling a mattress with all the produce or what is that supposed to be?
Potatoes and tomatoes…lol
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
its a joke tho
What’s it called when you’re not smart enough to spot an obvious marketing gimmick?
IRL rage bait
“Bail“ is a word.
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.
You mean the peprs…
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
These are the good ones ya get to celebrate getting out
Smh can’t even spell gellapinnose right.
Fear not the man who has spelt 10000 words right but the man who sold their education to grow hallopinyos.
I instantly forgot how to spell zookeene.
Zucchini
Think in italian spelling rules
Zookeenee 🤌🏻
I can read every bit of it. Its really more phonetic than most road side produce signs around here.
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.
Read this in maters voice
Omfg! Same!
Brilliant marketing campaign!
Why couldn’t the señorita have babies?
Because her husband had a Hallowpiner!
…🦗🦗🦗… Ill see myself out.
