As a Swede, I did not think Norway was this wierd. Took this picture last year. And yes it is real.

  3. The most likely scenario is that the watermelons were moved, but the sign wasn’t.

  6. What is the weird thing in this picture? The mislabeled tomatoes?

  7. Norwegian tomates does sometimes taste more watery and dull than watermelon

  9. So what im thinking here is that the employee meant to enter the PLU for tomatoes(4064 in the chain i work at) but entered the last two digits on the wrong line of the num pad (water melon is 4031)

  12. As a non-scandi person, hearing swedes and norwegians beef is the funniest thing ever. It’s even funnier when you join forces to make fun of danes.

  14. They have watermelons but they knew a Swede was coming so they hid them to confuse you, it worked!

  15. I was about to say – rather bold to wear shorts in the middle of winter. (Then I saw its an old photo)

  20. The worker moved the item, it’s obviously not called “vannmelon”

  21. “Yes, it’s real”? This is a miniscule mistake, that happens all the time. You ar shopping at Rema, which is a cheaper store and often understaffed – especially if it is a <50 mill store.
    They may have been out to print new signs when you took the pic, or they may have simply made a mistake.

  23. It’s OK, because tomatos and watermelons taste the same if bought from Norwegian supermarkets.
    I have problem differentiating apples from potatoes also, but it’s OK. I found the way to differentiate them – potatoes is sweeter.
