169 - The Definition of Illegibility


What?! WHAT?! With a bit of imagination I can work out what's on this list with some degree of accuracy, but I'd hate to be in a supermarket trying to decipher it without access to at least the Enigma machine. I think I've worked out the following: "2 Fairy Liquid", "2 Coke", "2 D Coke", "2 Lemonade", "1 Limes Juice"...and at that point I lose it. So too, by the looks of it, did the shopper...

I am happy to report that, after many hours of deciphering, I think that I have completed the final two items on the almost illegible list number 169 on your website. I have concluded that the untranslated items are:

1 Still Water
1 S Water (I presume the writer meant sparkling).

Without Scott's excellent start on this list I would have got nowhere.
