  1. Nuck Chorris says:

    Obviously

    • Usoki says:

      Seriously, though. Those are just on display. They’re either plastic, or horrifically ancient. You don’t want one of those pretzels.

  2. loufail says:

    But do not worry, we have bread.

  3. Mookie says:

    Pay no attention to that pretzel behind the glass!

  4. ARBITUR says:

    OMGNOWAI

  5. sweetness says:

    Wow, where are all the comments?

  6. Shadow says:

    When in doubt, obey the sign.
    The sign knows all. It has lots of knowlige.

  7. abstract says:

    6nd

  8. Starby says:

    . . .but try some of our new twisty bread!

  9. scotteh says:

    Yes, we have no bananas today!

  10. MARKUZ FEENICKS says:

    stupid sign lols

  11. Verfallsdatum says:

    Sorry, we are currently out of comments!

  12. Matt says:

    The “pretzels” in the case are just fake display pretzels. Made of plastic. Not very tasty.

  13. Tony Wilkes says:

    I love that particular style of sign. Especially the wavy ’sorry’. It shows so much thought has gone into the it’s creation.

  14. spud says:

    those look like fake pretzels, probably just showcasing the types they normally have.

  15. sweetness says:

    Was just asking, Shadow. I usually don’t get here in time to be posting the 4th comment. *out of breath*

  16. DS says:

    Yeah, but those are plastic pretzels for display. This is not a fail, it is a fail-submission fail.

    • Christopher says:

      Ok, why would you have the entire rack full of less-than-appetizing looking plastic pretzels?

    • Smidge says:

      THANK YOU. I worked a job that had HARD rubber pretzels and people ordered them all the time. They weigh about three pounds each. This was most definitely a poster fail. I said that thie instant my roommate showed me this…

  17. severed says:

    Those pretzels you see are the plastic pretzels for display purposes. Subway is one place that has them. This “fail” is a fail in and of itself.

  18. tator tot says:

    they are fake pretzels…. i worked in a mall those are the ones they put in a glass box to display

  19. sweetness says:

    Why would anyone even go through the trouble of buying fake pretzels to display? Not only that, but making a sign and keeping the fake pretzels in the display? Sheesh!

  20. Petruza says:

    The advantage of using real pretzels to show how pretzels look like, instead of plastic ones, is that they instantly show there are no more pretzels, just by not being there! it works great! no need for fancy wordart wavey signs and removing plastic pretzels!
    AND they look like themselves unlike plastic pretzels.

  21. Mookie says:

    I can’t believe no one has pointed out that those aren’t real pretzels, they are plastic pretzels for display purposes.

  22. Ebony76 says:

    Actually, the photo caption is wrong. What you are looking at regarding the pretzels are the fake ones they strangely put on display. They are freakishly real-looking, but I have to question their method of advertising. Why encase fake pretzels?

  23. Arcana says:

    Ah hah! You saw that too? At Target? I saw that in Avon the other day and I was like, I should get a picture of that for the failblog but never did. Nice that someone else caught it!

  24. Tara says:

    I submitted this photo and sorry – these are DEFINITELY real pretzels. It was at Target, and my cousin bought one from this case.

    • Mookie says:

      Your cousin needs some lithium. Stat.

    • jake duh says:

      real huh? and you bought one? weird… since the sign says they’re out of pretzels, that’s amazing how they would sell you one. and a fake one at that. studid fkuc

    • Will says:

      Tara…

      Those are plastic. You can’t buy one from the display case… If your “Cousin” ate it.. I hope they would have noticed…

    • Johnny says:

      I work at Target and I assure you that case is sealed. It does not open; there is no way they served one of those displays. Pretzels at Target do not get stored in cases as that wouldn’t allow them to be kept up to brand standards. There are 4 components to brand standards of food at Target which can be memorized as FATT or flavor appearance temperature and texture. Pretzels held in a case like this would not have proper flavor temperature or textrue.

  25. Blue2thFairy says:

    Sorry, we are out of fresh pretzels but you can have one of the display ones that have been here since ‘73 if you like.

  26. Lisa says:

    Wow… you all are the biggest nerds EVER.

  27. sweetness says:

    Ugh, geez, u are so picky, syzgudyedir38!

  28. Michael says:

    Actually pretzels in display cases generally are not real. They are either not eatable or they are just really old pretzels. So it looks like a fail but really is not.

  29. VZG says:

    Dude, that’s a Regal. You do not want to eat their display pretzels. They’re a million and a half years old.

  30. qwerty (not to be confused with the other "QWERTY?") says:

    Is anyone else seeing the ad for the ladderless sign stapling company? I’ll have to check that out. I am in need of an exit, and they seem to have one for sale.

  31. Sai says:

    The funny thing is that sign is at Target’s snack cafe thing. Those pretzels are actually fake. The ones in the container are never real.

  32. Tom says:

    All of you posters just got terribly owned coz I was actually the first to post here! Hehe!

  33. iLove2.0 says:

    I bet they have pizza

  34. Richard says:

    Actually, they didn’t lie, I’ve fallen for this too. The pretzels in the case are plastic, it’s just a display.

  35. sonicwordpress says:

    Ya, this fail fails. Those are plastic display pretzels, not real.

    • xnamkcor says:

      Not plastic, just horribly old and probably room temperature. Looks just like ours at Harkins.

    • erin says:

      thank you, thank you!
      i worked at restaurant all summer and we had this stupid plastic pretzel display. we would have to take them out of the display if we ran out because people simply would NOT believe us.

      so thank you for not being ignorant. THANK YOU.

  36. velvet says:

    Hey! I saw this sign and display at K Mart this weekend. I need to learn to spot FAIL stuff better. It didn’t even register with me to be FAIL material. Sheesh.

  37. Faalk says:

    WTF!?! I says they’re fake.

  38. Batmanjohnson says:

    Those are just display models. Aka fake pretzels, inedible.

  39. annmarie says:

    this isn’t a fail. the pretzels in their are plastic. i work at a movie theatre and we have those showcases. i promise lol

  40. James says:

    Nothing gets your point across like Microsoft Word Art, especially printed in grayscale.

  41. tuna fingers says:

    microwave it for 30 secs and recoat it with liquid butterstuff, then if i close my eyes, my pecker won’t know the difference.

  42. Dragonwriter says:

    OMG!! GUYS!!!

    Why has no one pointed out yet that those pretzels are FAKE??

    Dumbasses.

  43. Mookie says:

    Those pretzels are fake.

  44. Mookie says:

    Those pretzels are not real.

  45. anne says:

    I work there (well, somewhere similar) – those are fake pretzels. They are very realistic but the pretzels actually come out of an oven. (No I’m not kidding)

  46. Mookie says:

    Those pretzels are plastic.

  47. Mookie says:

    Dragon, you’re up.

  48. ROFLCOPTER says:

    lolollollolloLLOLGLFJSGIOH SO FUNNEEE!!!

  49. velvet says:

    I think the pretzels are real. They’re just coated in polyeurothane (or something like that).
    .
    Remember the weird artwork a few years back that was a plate of spaghetti with a fork suspended in the air above the plate with spaghetti going from the fork to the plate? Kinda hard to describe unless you’ve seen it.

  50. veronica lynn~ says:

    they’re not lying though, those are fake pretzels. i’ve worked in a joint like that, they keep fake stuff in the glass, so they never have to change them. the real ones are in a fridge behind the counter ^o^

  51. Jeff Goebel says:

    These aren’t the pretzels you’re looking for.

    These aren’t the pretzels I’m looking for.

  52. Elanor says:

    Those are display pretzels.. they’re like fake.
    But yeah, I don’t envy the workers who have to convince the people that they truly are *out* of pretzels.

    I had a hard enough time telling people we were out of nachos (because the cheese machine was broken) when they could see the machine that said “NACHOS” right behind me. Some very angry people over just nachos. Seriously.

  53. alex says:

    I used to work at a food avenue at Target and they had a pretzel box just like that. Theres no way to open it and those pretzels are made of plastic. BYAHH!

  54. Kara says:

    This is stupid. Those pretzels are obviously fake.

  55. Rachel says:

    THOSE ARE THE FAKE PLASTIC PRETZELS !!! THIS FAIL IS STUPID !

  56. aeleb says:

    i used to work at target. i can vouch for the fact that those pretzels are fake.

  57. Ole Martin says:

    ofcourse they are out of stocks, ive seen a ton of those situations. their product is just out of date.

  58. Joe says:

    it is actually a pass. the truth is this is a display at a Target. Target places fake plastic pretzels on the shelves behind the glass so you can see the varieties they offer. when you order the pretzel, they make it fresh (or at least take it out of the freezer for you and heat it up). so, it could be that in this instance, they were all out of the real pretzels and just had the fake ones on display.

  59. E says:

    This isn’t a fail. Those pretzels are fake. Der.

  60. Kitty Spank says:

    I once went to the snack bar area of Target to get my whining son a pretzel (kid can’t whine as loud with food in his mouth). There were several on the little warming merry go round and a whole bunch in the plastic display case. I asked for one and the cow working the counter looked at me and said, “Uh, we’re all out.” I pointed out the ones in the merry go round and the display case and she said, “Uhhhhh…oh. I can’t sell those. They’re not real.”
    *face palm*

  61. Dragonwriter says:

    Geez…can’t you see that those are counterfeit pretzels???

    (Your turn, Mookie.)

    • Ryannon says:

      Is it just me or are those fake pretsels? I have seen them at the TwalgetMart in my area and thay are jest their to show u that thay are avellable. This isnt not a fail!

  62. butitisnotalie!!! says:

    uhmz. i work in a place with pretzels. >_>;;

    the ones in the case are plastic. i promise. i don’t even know how to open the case.

  63. Kara says:

    Um, it’s not a fail, they put fake ones in the case for display. The real ones are behind the counter.

  64. ladybah says:

    yea we can see that

  65. Mikey D says:

    Now, I can read that everyone is saying that the sign is not a fail because they are not real prezels.
    However, they are “real” fake pretzels. Hence they do have pretzels, therefore the sign is a fail!

  66. litbytwilight says:

    Fyi, not only are those display pretzels, but they are made of plastic.

  67. clay904ton says:

    Actually, this is at AMC Theaters, which I work at, and those are plastic pretzels.

    But, good try.

  68. AsTheCrowFlies says:

    THE PRETZELS ARE FAKE!!!

  69. Jani77 says:

    Ebony 76 – You’re right those are fake pretzels. Reason I know is that the store is Target and I asked the guy behind the counter if they were fake because they looked rather gross. So, there you go fake pretzels in the display. I’d have to get back to you on the why keep them there. They taste nasty anyways so anyone at their local Target store DO NOT eat the pretzels…fake or otherwise :)

  70. iseejou says:

    These pretzels are making me thirsty.

  71. Britt says:

    Yeah, that’s definitely a display of plastic pretzels from a Target Food Avenue. They put that sign up because they were out of *real* pretzels. Idiots.

  72. Dave S. says:

    I used to work at Target in the food service area, those are fake display pretzels, made out of plastic. The real ones are in a steamer thingy behind the counter.

  73. thepowerofblue says:

    OMGWTFKFCBBQ!!!!1!!eleven
    These are totally fake pretzels! You guys suxx0rs! No FAILz!!!!1!

  74. Luke says:

    I accidentally the pretzels, what should I do?

  75. pssht says:

    Actually those pretzels are most likely fake. So yes, they are actually out of pretzels. Good Job

  76. Shifty says:

    This is actually an incorrect FAIL. I used to work at AMC theaters, and we had that exact pretzel display, and it’s just that, a display. The pretzels in ours were edible at one time, but after being made they were coated with a resin that made them almost like plastic. The pretzels we actually sold were made in steamer ovens behind the counter, but if you would like to eat one of those in the display by all means, be my guest! Lol!

  77. A Loser says:

    actually, the display pretzels are plastic

  78. crowsong says:

    that is a pretzel display from target – and the pretzels inside the displays there are made of rubber !! seriously they are!

  79. Melissa says:

    Um the restaraunt that I manage… serves these pretzels and the ones in the case are fake. Like made of rubber even. They bounce!!
    And… It says in the case “We’re on display. Order us fresh.”
    I run out to and I have to tell people when they point to the display and say “what about those?” FAAAKE!

  80. Johnson says:

    They are not lying these pretzels are a display and are made of rubber. I work at Target and we have the same display with rubber pretzels in it.

  81. Hannah F. says:

    Not a fail. Those are PLASTIC display pretzels. Look at the “frosting” on the cinnamon bun.

  82. w00t says:

    the cake is a lie!

  83. A person says:

    The pretzels are fake lol I used to work at a zoo and we had that exact same thing lol
    you can tell because the frosting is to perfect

  84. CoCo says:

    Um, that is actually because those are plastic. This isn’t that big of a fail.

  85. Mazz says:

    No, those are display pretzels made out of spackle.

  86. Dana says:

    thisis not a fail.. those are the display pretzels and are made of plastic.

  87. aksjdsalejidknsfm ff says:

    Is this in target? The pretzels in the container are fake if it is. Haha

  88. Humbug says:

    these pretzels are making me thirsty!!!!!!

  89. Humbug says:

    these pretzels are making me thirsty!!!!!!

  90. Mac says:

    At target sadly i saw this often. that would be a display case filled with plastic pretzels. people would always come up to the counter and ask to purchase them, so we put a sign up.

  91. Mookie says:

    Never revisit an old fail. Never revisit an old fail. Never revisit an ol…. *collapses*

  92. Jenny Dietz says:

    Actually they didn’t lie, those are old nasty display pretzels. I know because I used to work at Harkins and we had a case like that where the pretzels were several months old.

  93. Jessica says:

    My roommate works at the theatre and actually the ones in front are plastic. They show you what they look like. Hence…no Fail.

  94. Lynn says:

    Actually, to burst your happy bubbles of “fail”… this is at a subway. Those are plastic in there. So if you want plastic in your belly, complain and ask for one! Hmmm yum for processed solidified dinos

  95. the plastic pretzel says:

    hey, what do you know? I’m a failblog celebrity.

    And by the way, those pretzels are fake, those pretzels are plastic, those pretzel are not genuine, those pretzels are not real, those pretzels are impostors, et caetera, et caetera.

  96. Errr.. says:

    I work at a movie theater and we have that display of pretzels… They’re fake pretzels.

  97. Aly says:

    It’s funny because I’m pretty sure those are plastic. I worked at a place that had a display of plastic pretzels.

  98. targetmandan says:

    those aren’t actual pretzels. threy are wax copies

  99. FordPrefect says:

    I think I had better make an entry on fails for the Guide.

  100. FordPrefect says:

    I have actually seen a lot of these things at food fairs…they are actually plastic.

  101. Nick says:

    I don’t think these are real pretzels…

  102. Mary says:

    That’s from a Target store and those pretzels shown are fake ones to display what the real pretzels look like.

  103. bdizzle says:

    Hate to burst the LoL bubble, but I actually work with one of these, and the display pretzels are rubber. Not metaphorically — they are literally rubber display pretzels. The “real” ones are kept en masse in plastic baggies in the freezer.

    Always happy to help detract from people’s enjoyment.

  104. Fakermunker says:

    Actually (if anyone cares) those were once real pretzels. I worked at a place that had a case like that and a guy would come in when we got a new kind of pretzel and spray it with a coating and put it in the case. It’s so people can see what they’re getting. The pretzels though, if you tried to eat them, are like eating glass. Supposedly it happened once with an irate customer, but that’s probably a myth. All I know for sure is that it’’s really annoying to say “we’re out of pretzels” only to have 500+ idiots say “what about those right there?”.
    Two things people:
    1. I am not as big of a moron as you apparently take me to be. I can see those pretzels. I know they’re there. The case doesn’t open without a screwdriver or I’d let your retarded ass have one, no charge.

    2. Most of these people are repeat customers (mall rats, you know the type). They’ve seen me pull pretzels out of the warmer countless times, yet when we’re out, they STILL ask “what about those?” WTF?

    And this is a fail on failing. The case would not exist is people weren’t so retarded that they needed some sort of visual accompaniment to the menu, so the display case is not a fail and anyone who says that it is needs to speed their inevitable death at the hands of a water-pik.

  105. aj says:

    it may not actually be a fail… the prezels in the display are fake. i used to work at a movie theater with a display like that and you wouldn’t get very far if you tried to eat one of these

  106. targetmember says:

    those pretzels are actually not real, i work for target and they have them in the same exact box, where the pretzels are located it actually says ” not actual pretzel” those pretzels in the box are actually displays of the pretzels they sell

  107. bored. says:

    we have these at work. those are plastic. thought yall should know.

  108. tonyb says:

    yeah the pretzels at target are fakes!

  109. Jonas says:

    This was entertaining :D

  110. Suisyo says:

    Uhh, I don’t know what weird Target you’ve been to, but I work in Target and the pretzels in the case are definately fake. Maybe they displayed real pretzels at one time but now its those dumb plastic ones.

    • Suisyo says:

      Hmm, I’ll make sure to read through all the comments next time before I post…looks like people said the same thing about 4,000 times….Sorry about that. lol

  111. Dan says:

    You guys are retarded. It’s a display case for the pretzels at Target, they don’t actually sell those ones that are in the case because they are fake.

  112. Samara says:

    those are fake pretzels dumbasses

  113. Sliverbane says:

    The ones on display are fakes(PLASTIC)… I’ve seen that display at a local movie theatre. This picture is FAIL.

  114. geor says:

    The ones in the case are fake. I’ve seen em before.

  115. Justice says:

    they arent really pretzels they are plastic displays

  116. fishcow says:

    i saw that at target once there not real pretzels there rubber pretzels they put in there when there out of pretzels

  117. Hailey says:

    You fail. Those are display pretzels that they put in the case to show what kinds that they have.

  118. colormekev says:

    Lies!

  119. blah says:

    they are not
    it was simply just a FAIL

  120. The Stig says:

    ….

  121. Nurr says:

    They didn’t lie. They are a display.

    I used to work at Target, and I’d get people FUMING over us not having pretzels, run to the machine and frantically scream ‘BUT THERE ARE PRETZELS IN THEIR!!!’ and I always used to go “Yes ma’am but those aren’t for eatting. Those are for looking at” And they’d get mad and start screaming for my manager and I’d go “Ma’am, those are for DISPLAY. They aren’t for eating. They’re FAKE.” and they’d get all embarrassed and walk away.

    I hear one customer managed to turn the display around, remove the pretzel (Which are behind a SCREWED door) and take one. Wtf they did with it, we’ll never know <3

  122. Ian says:

    Everyone here is dumb! You are all failing for putting this on your site! I work at a place with this display, they are plastic pretzels, go ahead, eat them if you want

  123. Bob says:

    This is not a fail. Those are filled with plastic pretzles, so where I work when we run out people complain that they can see them when there is a sign right there that says they are plastic.
    -_-;

  124. FWEA says:

    The “pretzels” in the display case are fake.

  125. The Man says:

    Funny, they actually don’t sell the pretzels that are in that case because they are fake, advertisements. Want a Plastic Pretzel?

  126. Rebecca says:

    this display is from Target.
    those pretzels behind the sign are fake.
    FailBlog FAIL
    ;]

  127. Amber says:

    those are fake pretzels. our mall has fake ones on display so people can see what they look like. that’s probably what happened there.

  128. ummm … those pretzels are fake … for display purposes only … so unless you want to eat plastic and foam pretzels … they’re out! :)

  129. alinzelnan says:

    pretzels omg -.-
    It’s called Bretzeln this is GERMAN

  130. Amber says:

    but they are out of pretzels those are fake display pretzels… uhm duh

  131. Justin says:

    You guys obviously dont know.. i worked at a place with those…. the pretzels are plastic, they’re for display only… to show you what kind they have silly asses.

  132. cydney says:

    those pretzels are from target and there are made out of plastic dumb-asses

  133. Catey says:

    thats not a fail. those R fake display pretzels

  134. Somewhat wise says:

    the fail is on the person who took the picture, and everyone who thinks those are real. They are the plastic displays.

  135. failblogfail says:

    the pretzels are display pretzels, failblog

  136. oompaaloompaaa says:

    These pretzels are plastic.

  137. Allie says:

    those are fake pretzels, although at a wal-mart in bloomington MN i sat and watched a man argue with an employee about the plastic pretzels. The employee explained several times that they are not real and are for display only yet the man insisted he wanted one, and that he could clearly see they were not out…….

  138. Jon says:

    Wow, the sign was probably just there where you can flip it up or down, and he flipped it down and took a picture. Notice he didnt show the top.

  139. NED says:

    LIAR!!!!

  140. kyle says:

    its not a fail; those are rubber displays. xD

  141. alexa says:

    no, on pretzle cases like that they don’t even open. it’s generally fake pretzles on the inside. i worked somewhere were we had a case like that and it fooled people alll the time.

  142. gasker says:

    thise are rubber…

  143. reksag says:

    omfg.. you spelled ‘these’ wrong

  144. Laneglee says:

    They aren’t rubber, they are plastic. I work at a place where we have the same issue.

  145. Доброй ночи. Вот меня, как консультанта из Белорусии, волнует вопрос о отношении к нам, так сказать к тем, кто только начинает свою карьеру… Поговаривают, что в других регионах накануне праздников, консультантов поздравляют, дарят цветы и подарки, а не обходятся банальной открыткой, как это делается у нас… Ведь это же воистину и приятно и понимаешь, что тебя хотя бы каплю, но уважают. Расскажите, как у Вас с этим?

  146. abaniepaway says:

    C наступающим Вас! Пусть Ваши мечты сбудутся!
