There’s Now A Trolley Traffic Light System For Dating At The Supermarket

Star of The Bachelor Brittany Hockley has shared some dating advice for those looking to fall in love at Australia’s most romantic destination — the supermarket. Hot!

On a recent episode of Hockley’s podcast ‘Life Uncut’, she shared the spicy nuggets of info with her co-host and fellow ex-BIt is possible star Laura Byrne.

“You can go and pick up in a supermarket and there are all these secret signs and signals depending on what you have in your trolley,” said the 35-year-old as per news.com.au.

“You have to get a trolley and you go to the fruit aisle.

“If you pick up a bunch of bananas, if they are upright, so the curves facing up in the top trolley this means you are single.”

I’m sorry, WHAT?

I’ve been putting my bananas face down like an IDIOT this whole time.

Why isn’t this information at the entrance to every Coles, Woolies and Aldi across the nation? Why isn’t the government doing something about this? Crying, screaming, and flipping over my bananas.

Hockley then went on to describe all the details of this avant-garde method for dating.

“Now if you just want to buy bananas but you’re not looking, you turn them the other way down, so that means you are not open.”

This is getting complicated. I’m going to have to take a rulebook to the supermarket next time I do my weekly shop.

The convo evolved to cover many other subliminal messages that were fruit-related.

“If you have a pineapple upside down in your trolley, you are telling everybody that you are a swinger and you are open to swinging.

“If you want to show your interest in a man, you put a peach in his trolley.”

First, how do you flip a pineapple upside-down?

If you possess the skills to walk through a supermarket with a pineapple balancing on its green leafy spiky things, I’m impressed.

Second, the peach in my cart has sent me.

As a man, if someone put a peach in my trolley, I’d probably think it was a TikTok prank and start looking around for a 19-year-old with an iPhone filming me from behind the lettuce section.

So, where did this subliminal messaging system for supermarkets come from?

Internet sleuths believe it launched into the TikTok mainstream in 2005 after a TikTok creator shared her confusion on a cruiseship.

As the creator was walking down the hallway, she noticed pineapples placed on peoples’ doors and wondered what the go was.

“It means drop-ins are most welcome… and bring friends,” one commenter wrote as per Yahoo Lifestyle.

“That means they want to rock the boat,” said another head honcho of horniness.

Here you are. I guess we’ve all learned something today.

Who would’ve thought the adult equivalent of university traffic light parties would be supermarket trolley fruit placement?
