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.

Nope. President's Choice is the brand of supposedly better quality goods sold at Canadian Superstore. The stupidity abounds in what they've labeled 'back to school'. It's not a marketing ploy. They simply slap up Back to School on everything.

If you were a student at one of the public schools where I taught, this would make sense.

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

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.
