PRICHARD, Ala. (AP) — Some spelling mistakes are tough to see, but that doesn't include the one that was made on 10,000 trash bins in an Alabama city.
The city of Prichard's new residential garbage cans say the town is located in “Mobile Country," but they were supposed to say it's located in “Mobile County” without the extra “r.” The mistake isn't just in fine print: It's printed in large letters on two sides of the big, gray cans.
Prichard Mayor Jimmie Gardner told WPMI-TV the city's public works department had the duty of making sure the writing on the cans was spelled correctly.
“Things like that do happen in the proofing," he said.
The city doesn't plan to replace the bins, and that's fine with some people.
“It doesn't really matter as long as they pick it up,” said longtime resident Murlean Henderson.
Pieter Vanerman, CEO of Spin, joined Cheddar News to discuss the ping-pong franchise, which has nine locations around the U.S. and two in New York City, and also dived into how the business operates, showed what's on the menu and what you can expect when you visit.
“This truly is The One Where Our Hearts Are Broken,” “Friends” co-creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane, along with executive producer Kevin Bright, said in a joint statement Sunday.
