Jeff Wysaski, the comedian behind Obvious Plant, recently pranked a grocery store with a series of hilarious, yet ultimately pointless tips to make shoppers’ weekly shop more interesting.
Wysaski’s latest antics – he’s previously been at it in a pet shop, and also trolled with a series of self-help books and book sections in a book shop – saw him amusingly try and convince buyers to incite lightsaber battles with baguettes. He then advised them to not pour Red Bull on pigeons. Be sure to read the rest of Wysaski’s shopping tips below!

"Unload your feelings on the lady giving out free samples . . ." OH MY GOSH THIS! I used to be a sample girl in a grocery store and it was like being a bartender in a 90's sitcom. And there was always that person who felt like they needed to justify not taking a sample in the most detailed, long-winded way possible. "Oh I'd LOVE to, I really would, but you see my diabetes is acting up and my cat is sick so I've been super stressed and I've been so bad lately and my life coach told me to practice mindfulness while eating blah blah blah" and I'm crying inside, raging, "JUST SAY NO! IT WORKS FOR DRUGS; IT WORKS FOR COOKIES!"
This comment just brightened my day, thank you :D!

Great tips. BoredPanda.... You have out-done yourselves today. Thankyrrroooo
This is hilarious and a fun thing for this grocery store to do. I really like the sign about pretending baguettes are lightsabers. I am going to have to do that with my friends the next time we go to the store.
I love telling people that I'm hunting elephants when they see me in the grocery store and ask what I'm doing :)
I would like to add my own sign to the mix: 10 pounds of sugar for those who want to be a dentist's best friend
Thinking there is a marketing magic to this. I was just talking to my daughters yesterday after reading the Blooms weekly article about fast growing Subway franchises and how people just get bored of things fast..... This is super cool and funny. But it would need a change up at least once a week.
he he he he he he ha ha ha ha, shopping and laughing is a good combo
