20 Chuckleworhty Posts About Hilariously Labelled Items From A Surplus Store In Minnesota, As Shared By This Twitter User
I cannot stress enough how awesome thrifting is. Mainly because buying second-hand items helps the planet and sustainability. Did you know that the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions? By buying second-hand items, you’re helping keep things in circulation that would have gone into a landfill. Besides being eco-friendly, thrifting saves money, and the thrill of the hunt makes it an exciting and enjoyable activity.
Going thrifting is an adventure in itself. Thrift shops that offer more than just clothes are actually something else. The amount of miscellaneous and the most random stuff you can find is insane. But as they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, right? Every item has its buyer, but sometimes you need a little creativity with promotion to make it more appealing to a potential shopper.
Twitter user Enfys J. Book was blown out by how a particular surplus shop in Minnesota sells its items. Enfys started a now-viral Twitter thread where they shared hilarious labels found on items. Whether this idea of marketing is comical or ingenious, decide for yourself!
