Most people don't really pay much attention to what's surrounding them when shopping at a supermarket. They just come in, grab what they need, and check out. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but next time when you go grocery shopping, we recommend trying to take a look around... Why? Because even a misspelled or misplaced sign could make your day a whole lot better! Take a look at Bored Panda's list of hilarious supermarket fails below and you'll see what I mean. Feel free to add your own photos if you've seen any similar supermarket fails lately!

Unexpected signs aren't always fails, though. Sometimes they're actually intended and part of a marketing plan. Click here to check out some clever guerilla marketing ideas by store owners who use their heads instead of money.

Trying to avoid a lawsuit. You know someone would try to get some quick cash by claiming ignorance. It's the "hot coffee" syndrome.

Actually makes sense to me, I often add a lemon to fresh orange juice if the oranges are to sweet.

This is probably pork butt, which is actually part of the shoulder...It's really called butt so this isn't a mess up. However, I still laugh like a 5 year old whenever someone on a barbeque show my boyfriend watches says it.
