What's Little Debbie hunting?

Do you ever read signs "wrong"? Do you ever read signs differently from the way they were intended?

To give you an example, for many years my mom had a favorite sign when we were visiting a nearby town. Three words in a yellow diamond:

[CENTER]SLOW
CHILDREN
AHEAD[/CENTER]

"Why would they be bragging about having slow children?" she would ask nobody in particular.

My dad had one that would make him laugh, too. It was the same kind of yellow diamond-shaped sign:

[CENTER]HORSES OR
TRACTORS
WITH LUGS
PROHIBITED[/CENTER]

"I've seen many things in my life," my dad would say, laughing, "but I've never seen a horse with lugs."

I thought about that a day or two ago while driving through town and seeing this sign outside a local grocery store ...

So why is Little Debbie, that cute 1950s-style girl on the boxes of sweet treats, hunting after Manwich? What did Manwich do to her? What does Little Debbie want to do with Manwich? Do I really want to know?

Nearby, there's a gas station/convenience store sign that also deserves a double-take from passers-by ...

Hmm. Now that's a convenience most gas stations don't offer. Given the peculiarities of our town, they should be getting some extra business.

Of course, there are also the signs with the removable letters that present endless opportunities to those of a mischievous nature who are good at anagrams. On the road to my mom's place, there is a place called Sweet Dreams that sells stuff like candles, aromatherapy stuff, artwork. You get the idea. They had a sign like that to advertise their specials.

One spring day this year, we drove past and saw that somehow the S and one of the E's were missing from the store's name. That was worth a few snickers and chortles. Not long after that, Sweet Dreams stopped using that sign.

My wife and I did a little shopping at the grocery store today. While we were there we discovered that Little Debbie had gotten her man(wich) ...

You wouldn't think they'd get along. But there's no accounting for taste, is there?
