Do you know what the love languages are? They’re the five ways people experience and show love: physical touch, quality time, acts of service, words of encouragement, and giving and receiving gifts. This sign has a clever and quick way to check a couple of those boxes with one simple act: buying a round of drinks.
Of course, there’s the buying – that’s a gift – there’s the time spent sitting and drinking – there’s quality time – and doing something for the other person – an act of service if we’ve ever heard of them. Go on, show your loved one how much you care.
Just Wait a Minute
Hipsters have single-handedly turned themselves into both a joke and a punchline, and the number of people who refer to themselves as a hipster has dropped off dramatically in recent years – though, in some way, we have all become hipsters, since we're always looking for the new cool thing.
And if we adopt the style, activity, or thought first, then we get to hold some kind of superiority. This simple joke, which tells us at least that the store sells coffee and nothing else, thus making it better than an El Arroyo sign, at the very least, is chuckle-worthy.
Egg
The simple, understated egg. Comes out of chickens and lots of other birds. Some signs are simply better simple, and this sign is nothing if not simple. Whether it's omelets, a scramble, or hard-boiled, an egg has lots to offer you.
At a mere seventy calories (on average) an egg is a lean protein food that will help you stay full and tastes great. Remove the yolks for an even heart-healthier meal, but if you don't have a favorite way to eat eggs, don't worry, the egg will find you, the egg will come for you. You cannot escape the egg.
Give Peas a Chance
Perhaps this little vegan establishment in Vancouver is onto something good. Perhaps we do need to leave the meat behind and consider more veggie options and "give peas a chance." This wouldn't be the first quirky sign outside of a vegan/ vegetarian restaurant.
It's a lot better to read a funny and light sign like this one instead of "Vegan Restaurant" or "Vegetarian Cafe." Whether you're a radical vegan or on the opposite end of that scale and a complete meat-eating carnivore, you can't deny that this sign is a nice way of stating that this cafe is animal-friendly.
Surprise
This is like the risque, male version of that El Arroyo sign from a little while ago. If you're one of these professions – which are famous for their seductive ways, especially when that lonely wife gets them in her sights – you might have the opportunity to celebrate your first Father's Day.
This sign tells us nothing about what the store sells or what deals there are, but if you walk in there and announce that you were one of those professions (or a pizza delivery man, or a groundskeeper) you might get a cheer and a free drink.
