Store Caught Sticking Googly Eyes On Fish To Make Them Look Fresh

Because nothing says fresh like a new pair of fake eyes.

There’s something fishy going on here.

A store in Kuwait has reportedly been shut down after it was discovered that its owners were sticking googly eyes on fish in an attempt to make them appear fresher.

Images of one of the fish, which were uploaded to Twitter by Al Bayan newspaper on Saturday, left users in hilarious disbelief at the creativeness of the store’s owners.

my strongest-held belief is that extremely creative crimes that don't involve maiming another person should be allowed https://t.co/LJlW3oR11F

I feel like this should be allowed out of sheer ballsiness.

Never judge the freshness of fish by the googliness of their eyes. https://t.co/hW50lwpwCz

As one would expect, there were also plenty of on-point fish puns.

Well this certainly looks fishy. I hope they go to court and are found gill-ty. https://t.co/aB3fh871WE
