People Share Signs That Are Absolutely Unhinged and We Can’t Help But Laugh

The unnecessary use of quotations is a weird thing. It seems to be a remnant of an older time when the use of quotations meant emphasis instead of irony. Sometimes younger generations will see boomers and elders use quotations in ways that seems ominous, flabbergasting, and downright baffling. This sign is a perfect example. 

If you read “Great” Food, you probably interpret that as an extremely sarcastic phrase. Is the food so “great” that it’s horrible? It’s not exactly comforting. We have a feeling that whoever made this sign was trying to emphasize the word “great.” Sadly and hilariously, it has the opposite effect. There’s no way we want to eat here voluntarily.
