Double check your banners before walking away.

Ha! Although you noticed and even took a pic and posted it, some in marketing might say that he/she went above and beyond for Sunoco!

It bugs me when they zip tie stuff at gas stations or grocery stores and don't cut the tails off.  

I imagine these are all neat and cut being car guys at a race......right?

Tell JG that the drinks are for AFTER the work and racing is done.

Yeah but look how straight it is!

Anyway, Ogonas is happy with it, so I don't know what y'all are complaining about.

Going to submit that it was not a mistake. You reposted a Sunoco add for a wider audience. I am pretty sure that people at the track made a lot of fun about the "stupid mistake that Sunoco made" . Bonus points for the person that came up with the mistake.

So the real story here is Dan Dennehy and I were doing this row, and honestly we were mostly chatting and not checking the banners too close because they all had pretty good inverted asymetry, so catching a flipped one was usually right away. Except that Sunoco one looks pretty good if you;re only have paying attention and talking about other stuff at the same time. 

Then we stepped back to admire our work, and spotted it right away, before realizing neither of us had a knife. We both went our separate ways to find a cutting implement, but not before some eagle-eyed reader dimed on us. 

And, who knows, maybe there's a bigger picture here. Maybe it's a clue? Maybe find the other upside down item on the property and that will lead you somewhere else and eventually if you solve the entire riddle you can win a waffle cone full of banana sherbet.

Banana sherbet does not sound like a fitting reward. It actually sounds unappealing. Nanner pudding would be much better.

Misaligned textures are often a clue to a secret area.  This seems plausible.

It made you look, so is it really a mistake?

Would make a mess though in a waffle cone

Replacing sherbert with banana pudding in a waffle cone is super weird, and this is coming from someone who generally is a fan of wild swaps

In reply to 4cylndrfury :

Agreed. Banana flavored ice cream makes some sense, or even just swapping out the waffle cone for a cake cone before adding the pudding.

Can confirm. Chunky Monkey is especially good.

No you're doing it all wrong. The pudding comes in a bowl, the waffle cone you wear on your head like a hat.

In reply to bobzilla :

If its in celebration for ones birthday, otherwise waffle cone hats are forbidden by most local jurisdictions that I am aware of. OP, is this facility in the US? Thats would change things up fairly dramatically.
