Gooble Gooble

No, that is not a misprint, at least on my part. Read about this yesterday and had to check my collection of TJ'S stickers when I got home and sure enough TJ's did indeed misspell gobble. LOL. I wonder if Google will sue for copyright infringement?

haha, gooble gooble!
COMMENT 339615	2012-11-06 10:39 AM
haha - there was something about it in huffington post yesterday!
COMMENT 339621	2012-11-06 10:50 AM
Ha! Maybe Google's subliminal advertising campaign.

615, that is where I heard about it too, but seeing was believing. CB.
COMMENT 339624	2012-11-06 11:00 AM
May be intentional because the "Os" on the bottom make up the eyes of a turkey. Look closely and you'll see it.
COMMENT 339625P	2012-11-06 11:01 AM
I agree with 624. Much ado about nothing here. Love Trader Joe's!
COMMENT 339627	2012-11-06 11:04 AM
Did you take that photo with your iPhone5? Looks a bit grainy.
COMMENT 339633	2012-11-06 11:16 AM
I see the turkey too. Great marketing!

...maybe that's German for the sound a turkey makes?
COMMENT 339650	2012-11-06 11:31 AM
You're right that Gobble was misspelled but "Gooble" is hardly an infringement on Google.
COMMENT 339652P	2012-11-06 11:32 AM
No, not via a cell phone. And maybe TJ'S was being intentally comical. Some blog posters think so. Would be nice if TJ's responded to this though. CB

I think it depends on where the unfortunate turkeys were raised. Free-range, wild birds, living free and happy, mumble "gooble, gooble, gooble..." as they hunt for their dinners, intending never to be yours. The others of the species, never ever free in the wild, mispronounce. TJ's prides itself on free range ...although that's confusing when the bird has never enjoyed freedom.

gooble gobble gooble gobble
COMMENT 339782	2012-11-06 01:02 PM
I agree with 624. Looks like they were trying to be artistic with the eyes.
COMMENT 339792	2012-11-06 01:09 PM
The sound that a turkey makes is more like aaggaggalagga. So gooble or gobble matters not.
COMMENT 339843	2012-11-06 01:57 PM
A four-eyed mutant turkey... interesting.
COMMENT 339877	2012-11-06 02:36 PM
It's probably just a mistake. It's kinda amusing but is it that big of a deal? Almost everything they have made for them comes from developing countries so it was probably just a lost in translation mistake.

C'mon...it's a new word!
COMMENT 340027P	2012-11-07 06:52 AM
Cute! Maybe that's the vegan pronunciation??
COMMENT 340032	2012-11-07 07:17 AM
Nothing artistic or cute about misspelling, we have enough of that already today. They wrote the word and said: Hey eyes! Still wrong.

Wasn't "gooble" one of the words Sarah Palin invented?
COMMENT 340124	2012-11-07 10:03 AM
No GBOB, that was Monica Lowenski
COMMENT 340131	2012-11-07 10:08 AM
Trader Joe's sticker collection?
COMMENT 340310P	2012-11-07 03:57 PM
C'mon, it's too obviously intentional, and I think it's both clever and very cute. A touch of humor in this context is welcome as far as I'm concerned.
