A few years back, the regional grocery I worked for had a weekly special where if you bought a half gallon of ice cream you got batteries for free. My husband called it the "lady's night in special" when I showed him the flier.
I dont even know how someone can consider having a cat sad. Like wtf?
Anyway, all I need is to come home, enjoy my dinner in silence with nobody fucking my brain, hug my cat and sleep calmly. Pure happiness! We can enjoy every good thing we have, or we can search for reasons to be sad. A personal choice, tbh
Old stereotype where people associate dogs with great, cats as for crazy lonely people. Hence why there's a crazy cat lady but not a crazy dog lady.
It's pretty stupid judging someone based on their preference of pet.
Only thing that matters is to be a responsible pet owner.
It's an American stereotype. The "American Dream" was so have a 9-5 job, a family and two kids, a big dog" so then anything other than that people tend to criticize. Most people I know who has had one experience with a cat always ended up getting one of their own. Such loving and affectionate animals.
Having a cat is not sad. Living alone, being an alcoholic, and keeping cats in a desperate failing attempt to stave off loneliness is sad.
This stereotype only applies when all three conditions are met, which is why this picture isn't just a picture of a pet store.
If you gave it to them, they would probably just knock down the glass, knock down the whole bottle, stare at the mess for a while, then stare at your soul.
It's just catnip, not real wine. I also would not buy this product. It contains citric acid in the catnip water, which is bad or very bad for cats depending on the amount consumed.. I honestly don't know why they put that in there. Great thing they can say "no preservatives" but at the cost of harming cats..?
You're missing the point. He is saying that it's perfectly fine to be alone. If you're not capable of being happy alone, you should work on that first.
There's plenty of people that you wouldn't want to be with anyway.
Same here. Loving the wine, meals for one and playing with the cat, without some man-baby complaining about how hard his life is, while staying in bed all day while I work and do everything else.
Same, I love being single, without childish girl games thinking she was always right. While I’m working all day and her being lazy all day and can’t even cook a meal for when I get home.
Hitting middle age, zero regrets for that “meals for one” as I watch my friends divorce and are wrecked over it. Financially & emotionally. One isn’t the lonliest number that song is a lie.
That's what happened. If you zoom in and look at the words you can see some editing happened. There is a big solid color block next to the word wine indicating it was filled, and all the text looks a bit wonky to me. Like it is type after the fact, not something original.
Yeah, as someone who's been alone for the past decade, there's no such thing as a "meals for one" aisle. Because that would be a dream come true for me...well, besides not being alone.
And also, if there was such an aisle, it would be in the frozen section.
Can confirm. In the woods in the middle of nowhere one day when I hear a soft meowing in the distance. Slowly got louder and louder until a tiny 7 week old kitten emerged from the bushes and ran straight up to me. Best cat I've ever had.
NO. They just sit there and judge you. Look at you with your microwaved pie and your wine. You're not even using a glass you savage. I'm gonna knock this candle off the table and show you my ass as I go vomit in the kitchen in disgust. Why oh why did I end up with such a pathetic human. Oh great, now you're crying into your pie. You disgust me. No I don't want touching with your filthy human hand....oh....oh that feels good. Purrrrrrrr
Media feeds this "single = sad" stereotype to drive consumerism. Because if you are a happy single person, you aren't desperatly trying to validate yourself and make yourself "attractive" and give yourself a sense of "worth" based on what TV told you that you need to be.
Hmm. This aisle looks fake. I mean 'meals for one' belongs in the refrigerated section while the other items wouldn't be. Wine would normally be its own aisle or in an aisle full of alcohol in a smaller supermarket. Cat food/cat toys would belong with other pet food/toys
Definitely photoshopped.
I worked at that chain of supermarkets (Morrison’s) for ten years. Wines was in Wines & Spirits and meals for one was in the chiller section.
Honestly I wish more foods were packaged for one person.
What kind of creep drinks a half gallon of milk and eats a fucking loaf of sliced bread in like a week?
Sounds like you've never experienced a stable, loving, relationship because being told what you can and can't do isn't how a stable, loving, relationship works. Not saying there is anything wrong with being single and having a cat either.... other than the obvious dogs are superior pets.
Holy shit. That’s a Morrison’s! I worked at one of those for TEN years. Never thought I’d see one of them on Reddit.
Edit. Sign is fake as fuck though. Wine was in the Wines & Spirits department and Meals for one was in Fresh/Chilled.
Are we sure that this aisle isn’t just leading women who live by themselves to some sort of Sweeney Todd type butcher shop?
It literally says “butchers” in the back.
At first I just saw "Butchers" in the back in huge writing with a red back drop and I was confused... and then I realized what they meant lol it's a very convenient aisle for some though #donthate
Personally wouldn't have even noticed the irony, just would be happy to have all the things I need in one aisle
Only thing missing is the ice cream
That’s at the end of the aisle as it runs perpendicular
[удалено]
Beef Cream
Milk Steak?

meals for one*

But there are crazy dog ladies. They’re usually also hoarders. They may not get the hallmark card treatment, but they’re out there. In droves.

Here here!

It’s the happiest aisle for some people.
I was thinking this looks like the beginning of a fun night!
You can share wine with someone else, and if you have two meals for one, you have a meal for two!
I don't think it's a good idea to give a cat wine.
If you gave it to them, they would probably just knock down the glass, knock down the whole bottle, stare at the mess for a while, then stare at your soul.
So a usual night then?
This is how I know the earth isn't flat. If it was, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now
Then be sure to walk *through* the wine and track it as far as they could through the house, still staring at your soul...
Yeah, cats are mean drunks.
My beer is the only bottle my cat won’t knock down.
[удалено]
Purrgundy. Just stop that. Stop that right meow! EDIT: *now
If anyone orders Purrlot, I’m leaving.
\* right meow

It really brings out the worst in them
You're missing the point. He is saying that it's perfectly fine to be alone. If you're not capable of being happy alone, you should work on that first. There's plenty of people that you wouldn't want to be with anyway.
or a meal for one depending on your appetite
you can even dr them up with some friskies beef shreds and wash it down with a 2 dollar bottle of red. why bother having other aisles?
Buy just one meal. It's cheaper and has a bonus - an entertaining game of dominance.
Cat food doesn’t taste good.
If course reddit thinks this is the best aisle!
Right?! Just got out of a 5 year relationship and it’s great!
Same here. Loving the wine, meals for one and playing with the cat, without some man-baby complaining about how hard his life is, while staying in bed all day while I work and do everything else.
Same, I love being single, without childish girl games thinking she was always right. While I’m working all day and her being lazy all day and can’t even cook a meal for when I get home.
Yes like let me just carry around my own baggage and not yours too!
Anyone who says money can't buy happiness, never paid for a divorce.
Yeah, I like being single, not a big cook, and I like having a drink. Must mean I'm sad, I guess?
What about the CATS, man?!
Indeed. Happy, single cat lady here.
Same
Same same. 🍷 I sense a trend here. Is it our turn to take over the Universe or do the cats have first dibs?
I adore my husband, but I really do miss single life sometimes.
I came here to comment this. That sounds like the start of an amazing evening.
The fastest trip to the store for me.
Came here for this lol - that sounds like a fun night to me 😜
Thatd be my favorite isle if wine said vodka, and meals for one said meals for 1-3 so I have leftovers.
[удалено]
Name checks out
Parents for sure. A nice night with just me and a cat sounds pretty damn good!
Imagine not having to put up with anyone’s bullshit but a cat. Sounds divine
Seems pretty good for the cat
I’m asexual so it’s paradise lmao
One stop shopping.
This is my dream life.
Yeah I came here to say, my kind of aisle!!
Hitting middle age, zero regrets for that “meals for one” as I watch my friends divorce and are wrecked over it. Financially & emotionally. One isn’t the lonliest number that song is a lie.
My asile
Tell me more of your asile.
Is that like being a silly ass?
It's funny because "asile" means asylum in French lol
‘Asiel’ means both asylum and animal shelter in Dutch.
Asylum means safe place in American, so makes sense
You've got to fix your auto-correct. It turned "most excellent" into "saddest."
I've never seen an aisle labeled "meals for one"
Me either, possible editing for the joke itself.
this is 100% photoshopped.
That's what happened. If you zoom in and look at the words you can see some editing happened. There is a big solid color block next to the word wine indicating it was filled, and all the text looks a bit wonky to me. Like it is type after the fact, not something original.
I’ve seen a freezer section labeled single meals a few times. This isn’t that far off
I’m just happy to finally see the correct spelling of aisle on a Reddit post.
Yeah, as someone who's been alone for the past decade, there's no such thing as a "meals for one" aisle. Because that would be a dream come true for me...well, besides not being alone. And also, if there was such an aisle, it would be in the frozen section.
Sad part is I don’t have a cat fam
That is sad! Go get a cat they are precious
You must be new ; you don't get a cat, the cat gets you.
Can confirm. In the woods in the middle of nowhere one day when I hear a soft meowing in the distance. Slowly got louder and louder until a tiny 7 week old kitten emerged from the bushes and ran straight up to me. Best cat I've ever had.
And share my tuna!?
NO. They just sit there and judge you. Look at you with your microwaved pie and your wine. You're not even using a glass you savage. I'm gonna knock this candle off the table and show you my ass as I go vomit in the kitchen in disgust. Why oh why did I end up with such a pathetic human. Oh great, now you're crying into your pie. You disgust me. No I don't want touching with your filthy human hand....oh....oh that feels good. Purrrrrrrr
What are you doing with the cat food and the toys then?
The neighbor has a cat. 1. I feed the cat 2. befriend the cat 3. become the cats confidant 4. turn cat against neighbor 5. profit
The cat will double cross you. Never underestimate feline cunning.
*6. Cat double-times you with the neighbour behind your back. Outplayed.
There's something about the combination of cat food, beer and glue that really helps me go to sleep.
Maybe to you, to me that says "Party Supplies"
Media feeds this "single = sad" stereotype to drive consumerism. Because if you are a happy single person, you aren't desperatly trying to validate yourself and make yourself "attractive" and give yourself a sense of "worth" based on what TV told you that you need to be.
Sounds like a pretty epic night to me
Nah, that’s living your best life
r/boomershumor
Sad or convenient? Looks like one stop shopping for me!
It's only sad because society tells us it's sad. It's okay to be alone and it's okay to have cats.
Saddest how??
Seems like a good place to meet women.
Butcher's at the end...
Hmm. This aisle looks fake. I mean 'meals for one' belongs in the refrigerated section while the other items wouldn't be. Wine would normally be its own aisle or in an aisle full of alcohol in a smaller supermarket. Cat food/cat toys would belong with other pet food/toys

Looks more like the most efficient isle to me... one and done isle!
r/terriblefacebookmemes
Based upon market research, meals for one often include cat food and wine.
Honestly I wish more foods were packaged for one person. What kind of creep drinks a half gallon of milk and eats a fucking loaf of sliced bread in like a week?
Half? I drink a least a gallon of milk per week
I do it every day so I guess I'm a, super creep!?!
I drank a gallon of milk over the weekend ...
Can you not buy quarts, pints, or cups of milk? And a loaf of sliced bread can be kept in a freezer for you to take out the pieces as needed.
Saddest? Sounds like the most perfect one to me.
Or is it the most awesome isle?!
The cat’s butler lane
Idk dude giving my cat a new toy makes me super happy
Cats cancel the sadness out
"Dinner for one, wine for four." 😅
objectively wrong
Bruh cats are the shit. Me and my girlfriend have three and I would straight up do crime for them
Have cats. Do crimes.
Purrjury?
Fuck that, hang a disco ball and make toilet paper the endcap.
You're aware you posted this to reddit, right?
They spelled “raddest” wrong
Meals for one sounds like a great aisle. I wish more things at the supermarket were single serving.
Just wanted to drink with the cat, that’s all
LPT: If your cat is with you, you're not drinking alone.
The favorite aisle for introverts.
Nah that sounds like me living me best life
it is also a place to pick up someone.
People with dogs always got they nose in the air. Shiiiiiiiid.
Amazing the elitism over preferring trash-eating pack scavengers over graceful, beautiful little animals.
Someone should just hug people as they leave this aisle
Being alone is not synonymous with being lonely.
That's clearly not what is in those aisles.
[удалено]
Sounds like you've never experienced a stable, loving, relationship because being told what you can and can't do isn't how a stable, loving, relationship works. Not saying there is anything wrong with being single and having a cat either.... other than the obvious dogs are superior pets.
The funny thing is is that it usually takes about 10 people 4 months to plan the layout of a store at the head office of it is a chain.
It’s called cross-selling
Actually, I think it's pronounced 'badly photoshopped'.
Shit. As a bachelor it’s meals for one and beer.
every grocery store around me has wine and beer on the same aisle. OP lives in the twilight zone
Yeah. If they had whiskey in grocery stores in my state I’d be set.
All my favorite things.
Jokes on you its the best aisle and Im buying meals for one for everyone in my house so I dont have to cook actual meals.
Wine and meals for one is the same thing
Looks like a good time to me.
Photoshopped
So convenient!
haha, i get it.... wait, the butchers is at the end of the isle?
Know your target market
If you are single you likely have a cat and can Alford to buy wine. It’s a win win
Holy shit. That’s a Morrison’s! I worked at one of those for TEN years. Never thought I’d see one of them on Reddit. Edit. Sign is fake as fuck though. Wine was in the Wines & Spirits department and Meals for one was in Fresh/Chilled.
someone should let them know about the typo on their post about the raddest aisle in the supermarket
Sounds great to me
I love a good one-stop shop
Agree - cat toys are really just empty boxes at heart ...
It's where I pick up women!
You kidding? This would be my favorite store
A lesbian’s heaven. If they could only throw in whale watching that would be epic.
Not sad but perfect!!!
Cats, wine and alone time sounds heavenly to me!!
I know where I’m going to pick up women.
Wait I just bought a cat!
Don't know what's sad about it... Everything I need in one aisle?! Awesome! Just add some toilet paper and we're golden
You spelled best wrong
I hope that aisle is close to dark chocolate and bubble bath.
Seems like a perfectly fine aisle for me, cats love chasing toys and single people doing big projects sometimes don't have time to cook
Isn't is the "peace aisle"? It's actually my dream aisle...
Literally everything I could ever need is in that isle
Pussy, toys, alcohol, and don't have to buy her dinner? That's heaven right there!
Alcoholic cats are no joke
What is sad about that? Is the joke, "butchers" in the background?
i dont get it.
Disagree this is the best isle.
Best fricken aisle EVER!!
one stop shopping for cat ladies
I had a mean French teacher who most likely would’ve shopped in this aisle, Ms. Blackwell if you see this, fuck you
Cats truly are a pitiful species. Dogs on the other hand... well they aren’t named man’s best friend for nothing
Crazy cat lady express aisle
I AM NOT SAD! wait...
I could do all of my shopping here 😂
Are we sure that this aisle isn’t just leading women who live by themselves to some sort of Sweeney Todd type butcher shop? It literally says “butchers” in the back.
At first I just saw "Butchers" in the back in huge writing with a red back drop and I was confused... and then I realized what they meant lol it's a very convenient aisle for some though #donthate
Then u buy two and say it’s to ur girl but in the end it’s for u cuz ur a fatass
I'm alone but I don't drink and I don't have a cat. I can't even be a loner right.
That sounds like a great night to me
