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.

Australian license plate according to chatgpt, the product could be water, it makes sense in an "use theirs" "drink ours" way, but I'm just guessing here

edit: drink theirs, use ours also makes sense if it's non drinkable water.. but again, just guessing

It's a plastics company. I'm guessing they make party cups or something

as a reference to @TomMasz@lemmy.world comment, I think the slogan is that you drink some brew, water, etc in "drink theirs" and in the cup manufactured by them "use ours" as in the cups they produce.. horrible slogan if you do not know what their product is.

I wholeheartedly agree. It's a relatively unknown background business that no one thinks about
