Some readers may know that today, 4/20 is Weed Day and people all over the planet were smoking a joint at 4:20 pm today. The term 420 (pronounced Four Twenty) has become synonymous with smoking cannabis, although the source of the term has been lost in a haze of blue smoke. Some people attribute it to a police code for Marijuana smoking in progress, but the most accepted version of the origin is that 4:20 was the time that a bunch of San Rafael High School kids met on a hill to smoke and get stoned in the 70's.

The Slap the Penguin virtual office received an email from somebody (who wishes to remain nameless) which contained a link to a page in the Lowes online weekly ad. We looked at it for a while before we noticed what the concerned reader was pointing out to us. Here is a screen cap of the ad, see if you can spot it too.

Did you see it? Here is the zoomed and enhanced view.

No wonder Lowes always has a selection of chips and candy stacked at the checkout. Impulse purchase or munchies purchase?
Nobody at Lowes corporate office was available for comment since it was after lunch on a Saturday, but the ad has been taken down since we contacted them.
And now, it wouldn't be Slap the Penguin if we didn't post the following image
