Knowing is Half the Battle

The weather is nice again, perfect for a picnic, outdoor concert, or Oktoberfest. You know, the kind of event where you just want to lay down in the grass with a cold drink, take in the scenery, and chill. Some people (apparently) even like to do it in the frozen food section of Genaurdi's Supermarket. Hey, I'm not here to judge. But that's exactly where I found this sign.


(Please note the spilled drink.) We've all been there. You fumble around in between the cooler and the soccer chair looking for your cell phone; A kid runs by chasing a Frisbee; Some genius looking for low fat ice cream trips over you while you're trying to catch some killer UV rays in aisle 15B. Whatever the cause, your cheap plastic cup wasn't up to the challenge and now you have Pabst Blue Ribbon all over the floor.

Unfortunately, no one has been able to come up with a practical solution to keep cheap plastic cups from getting kicked over. But the good folks over at Novus Products have created this reasonably priced, collapsible warning sign to at least make you aware of the danger. And knowing is half the battle.
