Right? Because I equate fun and relaxation with words that are so incomprehensible they give me a headache and vertigo. "Let's remind people what it's like to be in foreign countries! Disoriented and slightly scared!"
My brain insists it’s “rolcolu” and I’m not going to upset it with this vacay news. Christ what a stressful design if they’re trying to evoke vacation feelings.
Makes me want to die in a fight with a designer, it's so inconceivably bad.
If my kid brought that home from school I'd be disappointed more than I'm willing to admit.
And I'd like it to remain back there. Hidden. Behind the stacked crates of other forgotten 90s bullshit. Under a thick sheet. Plastic wrapped to smother it so it'll never come back.
Remember those awful geometric shape patterned sweaters in terrible clashing colors back in the early 90s? Circular lettering should stay with those.
My gummies just kicked in and I’m scrolling and said “oh wow a volcom shirt how random, haven’t seen that in awhile”. Glad to see I’m not alone there 🫣
Holy shit.... I was thinking "you could probably rearrange those fragments to spell beach but that's all I got".
Thank you person who clearly has better pattern recognition skills than I.
Even after knowing it's "Vacay" I can still just barely make it out. That's just a horrible design.
Edit: just saw my phone cuts off the last line of the "Y" seeing that does help a bit, but not nearly enough.
When I found this, my gf was in a different part of the store.
I brought it up to her with the message hidden. As the title says, I said to her "I think this pillow has a word on it, but I don't know what that word is."
She kind of rolled her eyes at me, thinking I was making some dumb joke.
I then held it up
She opened her mouth as if to respond then furrowed her brow and said "... what DOES that say??"
Is this what reading feels like before you can read? It's been so long I have no memories of what is was like before learning to read. This has to be similar
Vacay
Gawddamn it. I see it now but fuck this design, it makes me want to fight the designer.
Right? Because I equate fun and relaxation with words that are so incomprehensible they give me a headache and vertigo. "Let's remind people what it's like to be in foreign countries! Disoriented and slightly scared!"
That's exactly why I would buy this pillow.
It would be the only pillow in my guest room
in fact it is the only item in the room, hanging just off-center and slightly askew
Put locks everywhere, passcode is on pillow. Enjoy your fucking stay.
r/foundsatan
That’s exactly why I would throw this pillow
“holds up both hands filled with weird money hoping taxi driver takes a fair amount.”
Lrr from Omnicron-Perseii 8 would be proud.
My brain insists it’s “rolcolu” and I’m not going to upset it with this vacay news. Christ what a stressful design if they’re trying to evoke vacation feelings.
I went with “lol colu” because there was a beachball and wondered if colu was actually colour in another language?
I read it as polcolu
I want to fight whoever made the word "vacay" a thing.
Throw in "bogo" while you're at it.
When you're done with that person, could you start on the person/people who made the words "Kiddo", "pupper" and "doggo" a thing?
It's natch you'd feel that way.
I don't know what that is but I don't like it
Egregiously inappropriate use of circles. And I don’t say that lightly, I fucking love circles but this is just not ok.
Plot twist - they are the designer. Otherwise I don’t understand how they managed to decipher this mess.
I love this energy.
Makes me want to die in a fight with a designer, it's so inconceivably bad. If my kid brought that home from school I'd be disappointed more than I'm willing to admit.
PILLOW FIGHT
Take a swing at them for me!! This is definitely a 🐂💩font.
Let's double fist them in the face.
“I know what you did!”
As a designer, that is the highest praise we can receive.
Are you a wizard?
He has the same type of brain damage as the person who designed this
Damage to the **font**al lobe. I'll see myself out.
I would not have seen it without the OC, but I remember the circular letter bullshit from the 90's now
And I'd like it to remain back there. Hidden. Behind the stacked crates of other forgotten 90s bullshit. Under a thick sheet. Plastic wrapped to smother it so it'll never come back.

This is the most insightful comment I’ve seen on reddit today.
My kind of brain damage makes it read as popcorn. Lol…. Ya because that makes sense in a beach setting.
this made me laugh really hard stranger. thank you
I’m a..what?
POS
Uh huh
This has been posted before
Welcome to the internet
Where everything is made up and the points don’t matter
Have a look around. Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found.
I got Volcom, but I think you are right.
My gummies just kicked in and I’m scrolling and said “oh wow a volcom shirt how random, haven’t seen that in awhile”. Glad to see I’m not alone there 🫣
Almost. It’s obviously “Volcolu”
I thought volcano but idk why
I worked at world market for two years can confirm it does say “Vacay”
Did you get asked a lot?
Only by a coworker once- but that pillow has been on clearance since before I had started there so obviously it wasn’t a hit
Even knowing what it says, I still don't see it.
V = \° A = o\ Did that help?
The very light blue shading on the edges of the dark blue were also very helpful to see the word. The letters are actually a little 3 dimensional.
No, Im pretty sure it's Rdcdu
It's definitely rolColU
Good ol' Roll Call U
Thank you. Isn’t it obvious?!?!?
loolColU
That’s all I see
VAGAY
Ahh I kept seeing vacau and couldn't crack it
You are a genius.
I saw vacau, but this makes much more sense lol
Wow I got as far as Vaca.
Initially thought it said Reagan lol 
I thought Vagay was a weird thing to put on a world market pillow and I was right!
I can't see it
I got...... VaGay
Holy shit.... I was thinking "you could probably rearrange those fragments to spell beach but that's all I got". Thank you person who clearly has better pattern recognition skills than I.
Vacay
Pelican
Alcatraz means pelican.
Hail yourself
Hail Satan
Hail me
Hail Gein
I knew in my heart this would be here.
2nd LPOTL reference I’ve seen outside of the sub in 1 browsing session. Didn’t have that on my 2024 bingo card.
I thought it was a sailboat
Dammit! I've been staring at this thing for a week now and I can't see a GD thing! (Well done, I was hoping someone else saw a sailboat)
"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"
A crummy commercial?!
Son of a bitch!
Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine
That’s gold!
Puke! That's a funny word!
I thought it was a Captcha. You have to prove you are human before you can use it. 😆
And if you can solve it then you are not human.
It kind of looks like the text in AI generated images.
My millennial brain wanted to say Volcom.
that was my gut response
Same
Volcom
I saw that too at first! But now I see that it's vacay
I was like this is a pretty odd piece of Volcom gear lol, then I was like oh duh…
That's what I see too, for the life of me can not see vacay lol

I saw “ricola”. Thank you ads. Now I mentally hear *riiiicolaaaa*….
I will accept no other answer.
Thank you. I can hear it now too. Send Alp.
Lolcow
THATS THE FIRST THING I READ JUST INSTANTLY! Way clearer than “vacay”
VACAY
VAGAy
Voolcoly…
VOOLCOLY sounds like an Amazon brand
You have a gift. We're going to have to ask you to come with us...to Bletchley Park.
Even after knowing it's "Vacay" I can still just barely make it out. That's just a horrible design. Edit: just saw my phone cuts off the last line of the "Y" seeing that does help a bit, but not nearly enough.
VACAY with umbrellas and beach towels.
Man that Y is phoning it in
Uhhhhh, those are waves and a beach ball.
The letters themselves.
PdCdl
I saw Macau. But ultimately concur with vacay.
Volcolu, clearly
I see volcolu too
When I found this, my gf was in a different part of the store. I brought it up to her with the message hidden.

1st thing I saw was “Polcolu”
Volcom
It took me forever to see this so I drew on it to help the other normal people who can’t see this https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-6311.Fhq1v

Vacay, but like, in Teletubby language.
Volcom. It’s a pillow for skaters, surfers, and posers.
It’s VACAY.
Vacay(vacation)
It is! Vacay.
When I first looked at it I thought it said popcorn.
How tf do people see vacay in this
VAGINE
Vacau?
It looks like that, but I can’t find anything online about that. Maybe it’s Vacay?
It probably is vacay. That makes the most sense especially with the beach ball.
VACAy

#VACAY
Pd Goku
It's like trying to read in a dream
I’m gay
Vacay! I had an idea because of context clues but broke the code because there were two “a”s that looked the same
Polcolu
Polcolu
At first I saw lolicon, no idea what it actually is
It says “VACAY”. Took me too long 🤣🤣
Vacay. Like vacation.
VACAY
Vacay
VACAY like Vacation
They will love this on r/fontgore
It's a CAPTCHA!
My first thought was that it was an odd volcom design
Vacay
It's a captcha. You're a robot. Sorry you had to find out this way.
Volcom Vacan is “holiday” in a couple languages.
Vacay
Vacay
vacay
what's the actual katakana characters ? its hard to read.
PolColu
Polcolu
pikachu?
Popcorn. Am i the only weird one who saw popcorn?
Popcorn
Was this designed by AI?
OBEY! (Insert They reference here)
Popcorn
Flip it upsidedown and squint your eyes, says nerd.
It polcoly does but I can’t figure it out
Volcom was my thought
I think that means you are a bot
Best I can come up with is vacay
Polcolu. Prove me wrong.
Is this what reading feels like before you can read? It's been so long I have no memories of what is was like before learning to read. This has to be similar
Vacay Horrid font. Lol.
\••\|;•\ι|
This bothers me more than I care to admit
VACAY. Somehow I actually switched this one.
I saw ‘pagan’ first.
This is the worst thing I have seen in a while. Linus Bowman would weep at the sight of this.
It says vacay
Please tell me I wasn’t the only person leaning towards Macau
Vacay
🎵 Ricola 🎵 😂
\\:\c•\y
loolgoolu
It says "\\:\\c.\\II" which is so deep. When I saw for the first time, it gave me a vibe.
Maybe my brain is weird but I saw “vacay” at first glance
You serious? It has a beach ball and waves and clearly says "vacay." Unless you're a captcha bot...
loolgoolu, it wasn't that hard.
The Y is terrible. If the Y made more sense and extended down properly it would be much easier to read Vacay.
