Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

The post that started it all:

Somehow it makes no sense, regardless how you order it. "Drink Their's - USE OURS!"

Any idea of the nationality of the tag? Three letters, three digits could be Belgium, but then the blue EU flag with the "B" would be missing.

Foster's plastic industries.

It's in Melbourne Australia. The truck is unregistered and I still have no idea what the sign means. I posted this to the same sub on Reddit 5 or so years ago. Lol

Foster's Lager is advertised as "Australian for Beer" in the US and other places, if FPI makes plastic cups this could mean drink Foster's (beer) in a Foster's (plastic) cup.

Fosters beer isn't popular in Australia, though beers of the same style are big.
