The Bell Pepper Code
I was chatting with a friend about how we all should come up with a fun, low-key way to signal to others that we’re... how shall we say, open to meeting someone new in public?
So, what if we start a secret code in the most mundane place of all – THE SUPERMARKET. It’s perfect! No one would ever suspect that your weekly food shop could lead to something a lot more... sizzling. 🛒
Here’s the deal: If you’re at the supermarket, feeling adventurous and maybe not quite as satisfied at home as you should be, you simply put TWO BELL PEPPERS in your trolley/basket BUT the stems have to be facing downward. That’s the key… It’s like a secret handshake, but with veg.
Think about it. You’re casually browsing the aisles, and suddenly you spot someone with the telltale peppers in their basket. Your eyes meet. There’s a knowing glance. An instant connection, all thanks to a couple of peppers.
What do we reckon? Secret meets in Tescos? 😏

Just the usual upside-down pineapple? :-)
Anyone fancy meeting up in a local coffee shop, tomorrow? 11am? Wouldn't that be easier?

Yes, there were those who did that, but too close to messing on your own doorstep for me I'm afraid.
My activities with the grapefruit I referred to earlier were at least 10 miles from the garrison.
And yes, when Hubby was wearing his blue beret I know he was up to similar.

I actually needed to buy some yesterday but made sure the stems were facing UPWARDS in case there were some sad individuals from here lurking in the supermarket! 🤷

@doubleohseven, doesn’t work in person either!
See, What happens if you need a trolley and not a basket? (I tried this last night) …You end up with two squashed peppers at the bottom. And a limited time of action before they’re covered.
Stupid idea (for us greedy folks)
