Walmart customer spots shirt with hidden vulgar message – people can’t believe it was being sold in store

For a lot of people, Walmart is the place to get durable clothes at a cheaper price. The wholesale brand sells a lot of designs in their stores especially when it comes to things like t-shirts.

However, this customer was taken aback when she saw a certain message on a shirt being sold in the store… Keep reading to learn more.

A t-shirt which was innocently being sold at Walmart seemed to have a dark secret just lying out in the open waiting to be discovered. The green colored shirt with the words “Recycle, Reuse. Renew. Rethink.” written on it had the letters “RE” for all the words capitalized.

If you read the words as they were intended to be read; from left to right they spelled these four innocent words. However, if you were to read the first letters of the four words vertically they spelled out something quite offensive.

A sharp-eyed customer spotted the mistake and snapped a picture. Afterwards they posted the picture on Twitter where thousands of people saw the same thing they had and added to the hilarity of the situation. A user posted it asking people to find the ‘hidden word’ and how they wanted to get their hands on the shirt before Walmart realized the issue and recalled them.

I need this shirt before Walmart realizes what they have done.

As soon as the company got wind of this fact they immediately began damage control to make sure they were on top of everything. They issued a statement which clarified, “The shirt was only sold at Walmart Canada locations and has been removed from stores.”

However, the shirt still seemed to be available at their online retail store even after the company said it had been removed from their physical locations.

A lot of people found the situation quite hilarious and made jokes about the shirt.

It took some people a while to get the joke. “this took me longer to get than i’d like to admit…,” one user lamented.

While others said they wanted the shirt themselves.

“Bahahaha! Brillliant – I need one too,” one user wrote.

Overall, it seemed more people were amused by this oversight on Twitter than anything else.
