      Could be a metaphor, you know. Who knows what, or who, Babo’s is encouraging you to bet against.

      Oho~, okay, interpreting the spelling error changes the literal meaning of the sign. For some reason I didn’t connect the dots on that one until you pointed it out.

        I don’t really think it was intentional, but that’s the generous, optimistic interpretation.

    I try not too get to mad about this kind of mistake. Life is, indeed, two short.

    Edit: Specifically, about “Drink Pepsi”, when “Royal Cola” exists.

    Maybe the restaurant is infested with investment bankers for whom life is indeed to short. Maybe the sign is a secret handshake to tell other investors they’re welcome in this joint.

      clears throat

      …

      I go on and on, can’t understand why I love Babo’s; must have a superpower ate 225-thousand meals. Get it calculated, do the math, I ate a thousand meals that made me shit my pants. And for the last 300 months I’ve had 16 restaurants put me in the hospital; heart go (paddles charge) bump. Where you get your meals?

      I heard 93 restaurants say no MSG; 2 bypasses and 10 heart stints. And I’m still gon’ yell it every time you see me eatin. What’s my favorite word? FOOD! Why they gotta say it like $hort? FOOD! You know they can’t clean off my plate, can’t hang with the Big Smoke; can’t finish that order.

      Eat at Babo’s

        Drink a Pepsi™ and life will be okay again.

        It’s to bad that the sign proofers didn’t catch it.

      It’s the “to” in the line above that’s the problem, I think. Should be “too”.
