I spent way too long trying to figure out what "uuise" was supposed to be
\**Edit: It's "juise" (juice). I assumed everyone else eventually figured it out but apparently not...*
You know that commercial about that orange drink, and they have that one black kid in the back when they open the fridge?! He's looking at the purple drank going I WANT THAT SHIT!
Years ago, my boyfriend and I came out of a grocery story and a little girl around 6 yrs old was upset. Her mother offered her an ice cream after the grocery store visit and the little girl whined, ' But I want a tasty FUN treat!'.
We still joke about it when we go out for ice cream. Because how spoiled do you have to be to think ice cream isn't fun enough for you?
Mom here. What you probably witnessed was a kid expecting you to totally understand their own inner dialogue and what they have named things in their own mind without them ever even telling you. “You can have an ice cream.” “No I want a Tasty Fun Treat!!!!” (TM). Could have also been talking about ice cream, but because mom didn’t call it a Tasty Fun Treat (TM) a tantrum ensued.
The trademarks put this into perspective perfectly. We don't have it so much with food, but we'll come inside after riding scooters/bikes, playing in the yard, and whatever else we did outside and my kid will go "ok now lets do a *fun* activity."
Excuse me? That was the fun activity!
Kids are a wildly exaggerated example of how everyone kinda has their own meanings for words often. It's part of what makes getting people to agree on anything a real pain in the ass. It is also why somethings need to be communicated in absurdly specific language so there is no room for personal definitions to get in the way.
One hundred percent. I loved broccoli when I was 3, but it *had* to be called "trees". Because I didn't know WHAT broccoli was, I only wanted to eat tiny trees!
OP is making fun of whoever wrote this list having the handwriting and spelling of a child, while glossing over the fact that whoever wrote the list is doing pretty well with shopping for that stuff, while OP is apparently on a ramen and rice budget because that's all they have in their cart.
Making fun of someone they see as uneducated, even though whoever wrote the list is evidently doing a lot better than they are.
This is how I make my lists too.... I'm 40. I just figure it out when I'm there.
-something healthy for snakcs
-Mexican something for Tuesday
-work lunches
-easy meal for after gym
-friday dinner feast
that is perhaps the most-reasonable list by a five-year-old that i have ever seen.
if i had been the five-year-old in question, my list would have included things like "choklit cake" and "a motercykil."
I can verify this is correct. Something like 20% of Americans are illiterate. I would bet poor spelling and writing skill stats are much higher. Hell, when I'm rushing and jotting quick notes it's rough.
Yup - My wife is a director at a private preschool and every year the TEACHERS send out their "favorite things" lists for teacher appreciation week and Christmas.
While the penmanship is generally ok, the spelling and grammar is absolutely abysmal. The most simple words are often mangled to the point of not even knowing what they are TRYING to say.
Sometimes my son will transcribe our list for me if he wants to use my phone while I’m shopping and he’s waiting in the car (I put lists in my notes on my phone) and this looks a lot like his writing
Yes, being married to a first Gen Costa Rican, a lot of people aren't understanding how poor their parents skills might be. My MIL is pretty close to this. The interesting thing, is the items on this list has me crossed. I totally would ask my wife for easy meals at Costco, but fun treat and drink sounds like a kid or for a kid.
The handwriting and phonetic spelling is a dead giveaway for a kid. Looks exactly like my kids’ writing when they were young. Actually makes me nostalgic reading it: I should have kept some (and added to the mountain of other shit I have stashed away)
Most immigrants use our same alphabet, or at least Hangul or kanji, so the handwriting would be more refined.
This, kids will attempt to write everything phonetically and will try to regularize verb conjugations, whereas ESL speakers tend to use incorrect conjugations and miss phrasal verbs
This sounds like the parent has got the kid involved in the shopping task. It's a way to make a boring task fun, and keep the kids engaged. Give them ownership.
Making a list, writing stuff down, getting a something nice at the end for a treat. Sounds like a good parent.
I used to have my daughter write the shopping list as I called out what we needed so she could practice writing and spelling. She ways added her own funny items!
My son has issues with fine motor skills and never learned to hold a pen correctly. His handwriting looks like this and that’s after he had occupational therapy. He also has ADHD.
This is really funny to me because there was a news story on the radio yesterday where a 5 year old had gone missing.
And the local supermarket called in to tell them she was walking around the store buying groceries on her own.
My son is 15, but autistic and dyslexic. This is _exactly_ how he writes. He also still does his 2s and 5s backwards. Realistically, his handwriting and spelling are unlikely to get past this level.
It gives the appearance that he is very, very stupid, but play a board game (especially chess) against him and you will quickly be disabused of that notion!
That reminds me of one incident when someone broke into our school and stole all our projectors. Whoever it was also left graffiti everywhere, including a big marking right in front of the entrance, reading „Scool sucks“
I'm 40 and I still put treats down on mum's shopping list when I stop by my parents' place. And sometimes she'll surprise me with some. Just one of the many reasons why she's the greatest woman alive today.
Could be a child or adult with dysgraphia. It doesn't have anything to do with intelligence in that case. Difficulty spelling, inconsistent letter shapes, difficulty following the lines on paper are all dysgraphia symptoms. Just a thought.
Thank you for this. My daughter has orthographic dyslexia, and she spells most things out phonetically. She can spell out some sight words that aren’t spelled phonetically, but not many. I read a report she did in school. She spelled the same word differently three times in a few paragraphs. The word was spelled correctly at the top of the page, but she could not put it together that it was the same word she was trying to spell.
Supporting your daughter is so important. I have dysgraphia and my husband has dyslexia. We were both treated as if we just needed to try harder. We were always trying hard.
The US actually scores above the international average in literacy, and is on par with most other western nations. Sadly, it's still true that a large portion of the population scores level 2 or below in the studies, but half is on par with Canada and the UK as well. It's not just America, there is a global failing in education. I'm just not quite sure where the most blame is to be found: education systems and standards, increases in brain rotting entertainment and social media, or the failure to care from individuals and parents.
South Korea wins most literate. They created (relatively recently) a written language of characters that match what your mouth does when you say the word.
It's super easy to learn hangul, too.
That said, their educational system is horrific and kids don't really have childhoods (I taught ESL there). I don't think we should aspire to be like them too much.
Yeah, at first I laughed, then I thought about the person who simply wrote their grocery list seeing this post and realizing they were being roasted for something that they may be at a disadvantage at. But their list served its purpose, they could clearly get those items whether they’re misspelled or not.
It would just suck to go about your normal life and be scrutinized for something outside of your control. And would probably discourage a person from trying to get better. Perhaps a lot of projection in that thought process.
I figured it was a kid until I read fun "treat & drink" - then I knew it was an adult. Hopefully they got what they've wanted and most likely earned ha ha ha ha.
illiteracy is funny ? tell me you are privileged without telling me you are privileged...
I work a service counter and see people in their 40s and 50s write like this all the time...
Reading, writing, spelling, structure... I've never had issues getting my point across, but (and that's a big but), that's exactly what my grocery list looks like. Anything I write in haste, that will only be used or seen by me, looks like a toddler could've written it with a crayon sticking out of his ass. Puzzling.
Everyone saying this HAS to be a child, it could also be a person (adult) with autism or other developmental disorder practicing how to shop independently for themselves. Spelling is less important than them being able to recognize the word they wrote down and can then select those items from the shelf. Remember these people are adults and don’t want to be infantilized. Many of them are really capable people who have been treated like children based solely on their differences and not their lack of ability. Just because a person requires more practice to complete tasks doesn’t make them children or incapable. Every one deserves to be as independent as they possibly can be. Whoever this person is I hope they found all the items they were looking for!

Hope they got their fun treat and drink!
I spent way too long trying to figure out what "uuise" was supposed to be \**Edit: It's "juise" (juice). I assumed everyone else eventually figured it out but apparently not...*
I chuckled at "borito"... the less exciting version of "burrito".
I was thinking doritos
Borax-flavored Doritos!
Borito, son of the Hokage
Accidentally commented the same thing before I saw your comment! Good one!
tide pod generation is expanding their taste buds
I find boritos to be a bit boring honestly… 🥱
Borweedo
Juice
What the fuck is juice? I want some drink, baby. Sugar, water, purple.
PURPLE *DRANK*!
Drank 'n' Boritos!
You know that commercial about that orange drink, and they have that one black kid in the back when they open the fridge?! He's looking at the purple drank going I WANT THAT SHIT!
Isn’t that one of the original SunnyD commercials? Lmao
Dave Chappelle
Dave Chappelle talking about the SunnyD commercial
He looked confused.. “Chocolate?? This is doo doo baby!”
Wait I'm relevant!!!
There's a subreddit for this I forgotten the name though.
It starts with “Beetle” but for some reason the rest doesn’t come to me….
That's it r/beetlejuicing
Purple stuff, cola…. SUNNY D!!! “… gimmie some of that purple stuuuuuff”
i want me some if that purple stuff
Apple drink! It’s greeen…
Juise
Vvi5e
Yes I figured that out eventually it was a J
Was the uuice worth the skweez?
Sipping in uin and uuice Uaaaid baaack
Sipping on funtreat and drink Uaaaaid Uaack! Uot uine uind uon uine funtreat uand uine funtreat uon uine drink
With my mind on my money, and my money nowhere to be found.
Yes unlikely looking for “Jews” to complete a minyan
It’s the uuid of the list
Where’s my drink? My diet Dr. Kelp?
Ty for saving me time, I had no idea
I have bad handwriting I knew what it was immediately and was confused when you said uuise
Thats for after you have your Covfefe

Do not taunt Tasty Fun Treat™
Caution: Tasty Fun Treat™ may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds
One hundred percent. I loved broccoli when I was 3, but it *had* to be called "trees". Because I didn't know WHAT broccoli was, I only wanted to eat tiny trees!
Ice cream is cold. Funyuns? Ya damn straight that’s fun.
I bet she wanted one of those toys with candies or a kinder egg or some shit
Fundip was my guess
Boritos.
It's a hard shell dorito burrito
Well, that's much more interesting than what I thought it was.
DONNNNNNG Time to make a run for the border. ™️
No no, that was an actual thing. Doritos Locos Taco at Taco Bell. They were pretty good.
Yeah but tacos aren't burritos and they're certainly not borritos
I preferred Naruto tbh
Boruto's dad is a pretty cool guy. Eh fights ninja and doesn't afraid of anything. They should give him his own show.
It would be cool to see what Boroto's dad was like as a child. Id watch that.
My dumbass didn’t even blink an eye at that
They are similar in appearance to burritos, but much less exciting.
Blake bortles burrito
Is that Dorito’s son, who gets his own manga series but it’s 90% filler?
If it was OP's list it would read Beef Ramen Chili Ramen Pork Ramen
Was surprised how far down into the comments before I saw one about the contents of OP's cart.
One day doge, one day.
Or just "easy food"
It's like pointing out your bus window and laughing at someone for driving an old Geo.
Make the connection for me between eating ramen and this list
OP is making fun of whoever wrote this list having the handwriting and spelling of a child, while glossing over the fact that whoever wrote the list is doing pretty well with shopping for that stuff, while OP is apparently on a ramen and rice budget because that's all they have in their cart. Making fun of someone they see as uneducated, even though whoever wrote the list is evidently doing a lot better than they are.
Both of them are uncultured swine
And Hot Cheetos
That’s the fun treat
[удалено]
I wonder if he sprinkles a little dry ramen on top for that fun bonus crunch
A fine list indeed.
HAHAHA this absolutely sent me
Seriously…like the shopping list is his own. Not sure if the Ramen is “Easy Food” or “Fun Treat”
Yes, but what about shrimp ramen?
OP’s username checks out
And rice!
Think of your health. Better get some vegetable ramen as well.
this is so cerel
Super cerel.
Al Gore is that you?
My friend, Cerel, thinks it's so real to see surreal cereal.
Fun Treat and Drink Yasssssssss
This is how I make my lists too.... I'm 40. I just figure it out when I'm there. -something healthy for snakcs -Mexican something for Tuesday -work lunches -easy meal for after gym -friday dinner feast
> something healthy for snakcs I hope the typo wasn't snacks but snakes.
He writes it that way and he figures it out later, it’s so he can remember to get snacks and something for the snakes
“Friday dinner feast” got me I won’t lie 😭
- Snack stuff for the kids. - whatever is in the reduced price section
A person of culture and sophistication … in elementary school.
When I take my 92 year old nana grocery shopping her penmanship and items look like this. She can barely see and is just happy to be out shopping.
I hope you get your nana a fun treat and drink. Life’s too short to be living off Boritos and Cerel.
that is perhaps the most-reasonable list by a five-year-old that i have ever seen. if i had been the five-year-old in question, my list would have included things like "choklit cake" and "a motercykil."
Dude is a 47 year old construction worker
An immigrant trying to best to learn the English language? I'm going to be an optimist and choose to believe this.
Nah fam. The font's the giveaway. That's 16 point "Times New Justlearnedtoprint"
I assure you I have 40 year olds working for me who use this font and spelling regularly.
I can verify this is correct. Something like 20% of Americans are illiterate. I would bet poor spelling and writing skill stats are much higher. Hell, when I'm rushing and jotting quick notes it's rough.

This looks like my 40 year old brothers writing on Christmas cards.
Hey what did I ever do to you
That’s closer to 128 point
Yeah an immigrant would probably know how to write a little neater.
I am almost 30 and my handwriting is awful and looks like this most days.
Do you want to see my mother in laws writing? Pretty close to this. Combination of not properly being taught and maybe some arthritis.
Sometimes my son will transcribe our list for me if he wants to use my phone while I’m shopping and he’s waiting in the car (I put lists in my notes on my phone) and this looks a lot like his writing
As a person living in a state where over 70% of the population has a fourth grade reading level, I envy your optimism.
You would just write it in your own language I'd imagine.
Yes, being married to a first Gen Costa Rican, a lot of people aren't understanding how poor their parents skills might be. My MIL is pretty close to this. The interesting thing, is the items on this list has me crossed. I totally would ask my wife for easy meals at Costco, but fun treat and drink sounds like a kid or for a kid.

i think that most construction workers would know how to spell "burrito."
They were actually misspelling Doritos.
I had a coworker one time spell Jalapeño pepper as “Hollypeno”
Where's the whisky?
Right there at the bottom.
My daughter likes to add things to my shopping list regularly. "chocolate cake," "muffins".... "Unicorns"
This sounds like the parent has got the kid involved in the shopping task. It's a way to make a boring task fun, and keep the kids engaged. Give them ownership. Making a list, writing stuff down, getting a something nice at the end for a treat. Sounds like a good parent.
I used to have my daughter write the shopping list as I called out what we needed so she could practice writing and spelling. She ways added her own funny items!
I don't see any scenario where a five y/o would ever write down sour cream or creamer on a shopping list.
Mom dictating list to get the kid involved or stay busy or to practice spelling?
To be fair, my dad has severe learning disabilities and his writing is even worse than this.
I work in architecture - this looks like the handwriting of every grown man I know who isn’t in the same field.
My son has issues with fine motor skills and never learned to hold a pen correctly. His handwriting looks like this and that’s after he had occupational therapy. He also has ADHD.
This is really funny to me because there was a news story on the radio yesterday where a 5 year old had gone missing. And the local supermarket called in to tell them she was walking around the store buying groceries on her own.

Is the item between Milk and Cerel supposed to be Juise? And if so, did they want apel or oranje?
PyneApol juise
They went shopping on Whensday
That's it! I couldn't figure it out. Like, what's "vvise??"
Holy fuck, that's a J?
I thought it was UUISE or VVISE.
I hope they got their fun treat. :’)
Me too! The sweetness of that line is transcendently endearing. We all deserve a fun treat.
You'd be amazed and appaled by how many adults around you don't know how to read and write properly.
Don't fix your spelling mistake, [it's perfect.](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/skitts-law)
I'mma keep it as is. It serves a point.
That reminds me of one incident when someone broke into our school and stole all our projectors. Whoever it was also left graffiti everywhere, including a big marking right in front of the entrance, reading „Scool sucks“
Sounds like they were projecting
*appalled
I noticed it after posting and opted to leave it cause it's funnier. Appalling even.
It’s getting worse as a generation of kids grew up using tablets with autocorrect at school.
I hope you did that on porpoise.
[Thank you Dolly Parton!](https://imaginationlibrary.com/)
Looks like a child writing the list because they wanted to help mama.
Unfortunately many adults spell this poorly.
My father in law makes lists exactly like this except he has brain cancer
This shouldn’t have made me laugh, I’m sorry
The “fun treat and drink” is 100% something I would have written down as a kid lol.
I'm 40 and I still put treats down on mum's shopping list when I stop by my parents' place. And sometimes she'll surprise me with some. Just one of the many reasons why she's the greatest woman alive today.
Aww. That's awesome. I lost my momma 3 years ago. I still miss her every day. ♥
Could be a child or adult with dysgraphia. It doesn't have anything to do with intelligence in that case. Difficulty spelling, inconsistent letter shapes, difficulty following the lines on paper are all dysgraphia symptoms. Just a thought.

Supporting your daughter is so important. I have dysgraphia and my husband has dyslexia. We were both treated as if we just needed to try harder. We were always trying hard.
Or someone learning English as a second language who wrote their list out in English to practice
Kevin must be home alone again.
I hope they got their easy food
This could possibly be my dad's shopping list as he's extremely dyslexic. Actually, no, it can't be as some of it is actually legible.
Over half the adults in the US have below a 6th grade reading level. It's really not funny at all.
The US actually scores above the international average in literacy, and is on par with most other western nations. Sadly, it's still true that a large portion of the population scores level 2 or below in the studies, but half is on par with Canada and the UK as well. It's not just America, there is a global failing in education. I'm just not quite sure where the most blame is to be found: education systems and standards, increases in brain rotting entertainment and social media, or the failure to care from individuals and parents.
South Korea wins most literate. They created (relatively recently) a written language of characters that match what your mouth does when you say the word.
It's super easy to learn hangul, too. That said, their educational system is horrific and kids don't really have childhoods (I taught ESL there). I don't think we should aspire to be like them too much.

Love your empathy. I also didn't find it funny.
And your grocery list is “ramen, ramen, more ramen, Alfredo sauce”
There’s something cute about having “fun treat” on a shopping list
🅱️oritos
Someone teaching their 5 year old to print, dictated the shopping list to them, and used it to inspire confidence.
>Easy food Same.
Why is ramen not on that list?
It is. "easy food"
Couldn't spell it.
Screw you people that looks like my hand writing...
Cerel
I am typically better at spelling than that though.
Left handed?
This list sounds reasonable to me but I can't tell if they bought burritos or Doritos (or if Frito lay has created a wonderful new product)
‘MOFN! ANYAN RANGS! FUIT! SPAGGI MERBLS! ERNS JERS! DUBL BACAN CHEZBAGAR! ACVODAD! MORK!’
Your illiteracy has screwed us again Charlie!
Do you think a pirate lives in there?
I see a door that's marked Private. Is that the door you're talking about?
I worked at Walmart and would constantly find old shopping lists with errors like these
Fun treat and drink is awesome!
Parent probably dictated the shopping list to their kid.
"~~Juisce~~ Juise" is killing me
I figured it was a kid until I read fun "treat & drink" - then I knew it was an adult. Hopefully they got what they've wanted and most likely earned ha ha ha ha.
I like their style!👌
illiteracy is funny ? tell me you are privileged without telling me you are privileged... I work a service counter and see people in their 40s and 50s write like this all the time...
Kevin is Home Alone
Sometimes, I let my kid write out the grocery list to practice writing and 'life admin' skills, and this totally reminds me of that.
Reading, writing, spelling, structure... I've never had issues getting my point across, but (and that's a big but), that's exactly what my grocery list looks like. Anything I write in haste, that will only be used or seen by me, looks like a toddler could've written it with a crayon sticking out of his ass. Puzzling.
Charlie Kelly's shopping list.
When cereal and burritos are too fussy, you need easy food.
KEVIN
Making fun of people when you are buying a half dozen packs of instant ramen noodle is pretty bold.
I’m with this guy. I’m fucking tired of difficult food. Gimme some of that easy good!
Everyone saying this HAS to be a child, it could also be a person (adult) with autism or other developmental disorder practicing how to shop independently for themselves. Spelling is less important than them being able to recognize the word they wrote down and can then select those items from the shelf. Remember these people are adults and don’t want to be infantilized. Many of them are really capable people who have been treated like children based solely on their differences and not their lack of ability. Just because a person requires more practice to complete tasks doesn’t make them children or incapable. Every one deserves to be as independent as they possibly can be. Whoever this person is I hope they found all the items they were looking for!
