Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
A few years ago, I had a fleeting desire to create a menu typo business. Living near Chinatown, I was always spotting some sort of bad signage or typo-ridden menu. But since these bringers of the typo were also the same places that were struggling to be successful, I knew there was no money in it and just hoped that the places would make it as is.Besides, how could we get gems like "Crap Meat with Fish Maw Soup" that popped up over at Serious Eats if someone became the restaurant grammar and spelling police?
And the little flub to the right is far from the only oops moment out there. Just Google "menu typos." But for me, the biggest foodie signage flub was seeing a Ruby Tuesday "Curbside Pick Up" sign DIRECTLY underneath a One Way sign pointing in the other direction.
What's your favorite flub or typo?
