A humorous mishap at Walmart has taken the internet by storm. A green t-shirt with a recycling-themed design was spotted at a Canadian store, but it inadvertently spelled out a rude word when read vertically. The shirt, part of the George fashion label, was quickly removed from shelves after multiple customers pointed out the error.
Twitter users were quick to share photos and jokes about the shirt, with one user exclaiming, “I need this shirt before Walmart realizes what they’ve done!” The post gained over 1.3 million views and 14,000 likes, with many commenters rushing to find the shirt before it was removed.
This isn’t the first time a design has gone viral for its unintended meaning. A phallic-shaped swimming pool and transparent toilet seat with dried flowers also sparked laughter online.
While some defended the shirt, saying it was an innocent mistake, others praised Walmart for quickly removing it. The incident has left many in stitches, with one user commenting, “I always wonder how many layers of approval these things go through.”
The shirt’s removal hasn’t stopped the jokes, with one user suggesting Walmart should have retagged the shirts with higher prices and put them back on the shelves. Another customer simply asked, “Now where can I get one?”
