Tomato Sauce

I know it is blurry, but it is an aisle header in a grocery store. Aisle 8b. It says "Tomatoes," "Sauces" and then "Tomato Sauce." As if the third line is needed. Like we wouldn't think to look for tomato sauce on an aisle that just says "Tomatos" and "Sauce." I don't know why but I think it so funny. Who makes these decisions? I tried to share the humor with the fam and Erika seemed to get it, kind of. She said, "It is kind of like of it said, 'Pans' 'Cakes' and 'Pancakes.'" Well, not really but nice try, sis.

That is the kind of things cell phone cameras are good for. I love that sign.

Double classic! Also, why would their be an aisle 8b anyway? After all the architectural drawings and planning and official approvals, some stock boy decided they were short one aisle? Is there an aisle 8a? How hard would it be to just start over and re-number all the aisles. I don't think they paid the sign guy so much that they couldn't call him back and say, Hey!

Ok and why are the tomatoes not with the produce? What a funny aisle!

Dad, I had the same thought on an 8a/8b thing, there are an infinite amount a free numbers up there. However, I think the "a" refers to the section of aisle that is nearer the registers (below the equator).

Rachel, I think it is referring to canned tomatoes. Like anyone who seeks those out has no idea where they are. They know.

I wish they'd put something helpful on those sign, like "bread crumbs," or "vinegar" or "dry mustard."

marshmallow cream is another one I wish they would post...every store has it in a different spot.

I think this store has it marked. It shows Marshmallows, Cream, and Marshmallow Creme.
