Could be a metaphor, you know. Who knows what, or who, Babo’s is encouraging you to bet against.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oho~, okay, interpreting the spelling error changes the literal meaning of the sign. For some reason I didn't connect the dots on that one until you pointed it out.

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don’t really think it was intentional, but that’s the generous, optimistic interpretation.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 62 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I try not too get to mad about this kind of mistake. Life is, indeed, two short.

Edit: Specifically, about "Drink Pepsi", when "Royal Cola" exists.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you! Though, in humility, I think I'm a Crawley, at my best.

[–] ReedReads@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

I understand this reference!

[–] luves2spooge@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Eh, I could care less

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

RC baybeeeeee

[–] ExtremeDullard 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe the restaurant is infested with investment bankers for whom life is indeed to short. Maybe the sign is a secret handshake to tell other investors they're welcome in this joint.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Too $hort eats babies, drinks Pepsi.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

clears throat

...

I go on and on, can't understand why I love Babo's; must have a superpower ate 225-thousand meals. Get it calculated, do the math, I ate a thousand meals that made me shit my pants. And for the last 300 months I've had 16 restaurants put me in the hospital; heart go (paddles charge) bump. Where you get your meals?

I heard 93 restaurants say no MSG; 2 bypasses and 10 heart stints. And I'm still gon' yell it every time you see me eatin. What's my favorite word? FOOD! Why they gotta say it like $hort? FOOD! You know they can't clean off my plate, can't hang with the Big Smoke; can't finish that order.

Eat at Babo's

The sign is to short for the other o.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They want you to come in and tell them the sign is wrong. It's weird advertisement.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You give the businesses in this town way too much credit.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

*to much credit

Ok, I will eat babies and drink Pepsi. No wait, there is no 'i': I will eat babes and drink Pepsi.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you have against us baby eaters?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The baby eating is fine. The poor grasp of the English language is deplorable.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Drink a Pepsi™ and life will be okay again.

It's to bad that the sign proofers didn't catch it.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That's some low-key trolling there.

I like it.

[–] TunaCowboy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Life is to short to worry about babo's grammar. Have you tried drinking a pepsi?

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, they are just saying that to live is to short the market.

[–] VulKendov@reddthat.com 10 points 1 year ago

Life is to short as eat is to Babo's and as drink is to Pepsi

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 1 year ago

Life is too short to eat Babo's and drink Pepsi.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can someone help me with what I’m missing?

[–] astanix@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Ha! Read that over and over and missed that. Thank you!

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Oh wow I completely removed the "to" in my head

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the only Babo I know

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You are a very, very bad man

[–] RanchOnPancakes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Life is too short.

Pepsi is NOT okay.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No reason to get excited. Babo's is the name of the owner. They're not saying to eat baby's.

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the "to" in the line above that's the problem, I think. Should be "too".

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

They’re not saying too eat baby’s

happy now?

[–] kelargo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Is Eat Babo's the next meme stock being shorted?
