FRESH FROM THE Dunnes Stores bag mystery, we’re faced with another supermarket conundrum.
In the past few days signs warning against the dangers of whispering to fruit have been appearing in shops, like this one in an unidentified Lidl store:

And then Kate Buckley got in touch to tell us she took this picture on Moore Street the other day:

We’ve asked Lidl what’s going on, and either they really don’t have a clue, or they’re being infuriatingly coy.
A spokesperson told DailyEdge.ie that they are:

Our theories are threefold:

- A guerilla fruit company marketing campaign to sex up satsumas, or boost banana sales
- Some messer is on a solo crusade to befuddle us
