A concerted effort to be random or an accident of retail stocking?
Challenge #1: Where could such a magical and mysterious shelf exist?
Challenge #2: Find three items on the shelf that are in any way associated and state the association. Bonus points for finding the most related items and for the most creative linkages!
1) poundland?
2) the association is.. They are all items you can find in the random kitchen drawer. You know, not the one with the cutlery, not the one under the sink that doesn’t open.. The other one.
Other possible items to join them are: cling-film, plastic birthday cake candle holders, treats for pets that have long since deceased, pain killers, garden twine & tape cassettes/minidisks.
laxative, candy rope, and Ed Hardy fake tattoo .
The part of the store you never want to be caught in when you happen to run into someone else that you know.
1) Its in the checkout lane.
2) All of the items; they are all for sale.
As the Technical Editor, I wanted to let everyone know that I’ve updated this post such that the picture of the shelf now links to a bigger version of the image.
This is the “free association” shelf in the store.
Each week a different employee selects products for this shelf according to their mental whims.
“I could go for some candy….assorted candy. My favorite are the cherry ropes….ooh! Jump ropes!..” etc.
