alleged peanuts


Jim and I went to Helen, GA recently when he was here visiting. This chocolate shop smelled heavenly, AND featured this great sign. The fudge was a bit outside our grad student price range, but the sign and the smells made the stop in worthwhile. I love a hanging quotation mark. And imaginary ingredients.

Dude. Don't leave me hanging.

Though I like this for its quotation marks disaster, could I use the photo in my blog (because of "its" instead of "it's")?

of course you can, thor. Just put a link to me to say where you got the photo.

This one is so out of control; there's an open quote at the end of the sentence. "insane!"

This is my first visit to this site. Awesome fun guys! The quote thing has always made me want to slap someone.

It doesn't justify the rest of the horrendous butchery that is this message, but the use of "peanuts" almost suggests a legal overtone that says "when we say 'peanuts,' we mean peanuts and peanut products, including peanut oil."

Still it's a mess.

Just found the site a few days ago. BRILLIANT!

The bad thing about this is that someone who is allergic to peanuts may think they don't really use peanuts and eat their products.

Oh I know I shouldn't say this, sminty4815162342, but that would be "natural" selection. Anybody that silly... well you get the idea.

I think they mean Charlie Brown & Co. are used throughout the store. If you oppose this, be warned. Woodstock just left some tracks at the end of the statement is all.

OMG
Makes me want to go there and "correct" the sign by adding the opening quote in front of "product""

This seemed to be a warning that if you go into this store you are liable to be ass-raped.

Actually the term "peanuts" as used here probably refers to the Styrofoam thingies that are used to fill the space around products in shipping boxes. In that context, those quotation marks are appropriate. That leaves "its," which is so common these days that it probably qualifies as acceptable, and the hanging quotation mark at the end.

This one's obvious: they're using the "Peanuts" "comic" strip to make "chocolate""." "Quotes" are how names of "comic" strips are denotated"."
