Walmart removes a shirt from their stores that features a hidden swear word, which was considered offensive.
Walmart has removed a particular shirt from its stores after an internet uproar over its incredibly offensive hidden message. Despite not being designed with vulgarity in mind, a Twitter user’s post of the T-shirt garnered over 2.7 million views and revealed its inappropriate message.
Twitter user @whosurdaddienow posted a photo of the shirt, stating, “I need this shirt before Walmart realizes what they’ve done. Find the hidden word.”
The tweet went viral, leading Walmart chain to remove the shirt from their stores.
The T-shirt appears to have a green message with the capitalized ‘RE’ followed by the lower-case suffixes ‘cycle’, ‘use’, ‘new’, and ‘think’. At first glance, it seems harmless.
The T-shirt design in question has a significant flaw, despite the seemingly harmless message.
This is because the first letters of the suffixes all together spell one of the rudest words in the English dictionary – c**t!
According to the New York Post, Walmart has removed the product from its shelves after realizing its inadvertent profanity.
“This was not intentional, and the T-shirt has been removed,” they told Newsweek.
Nevertheless, if you are determined to get one for yourself, you can find tops with the same message on Amazon for four times the original price!
Social media users had a lot of fun breaking down the vulgar t-shirt. One user even joked, “You can only wear this shirt on Tuesdays.”

Another said: “Where can I buy this now? Will they have it in the clearance section?”
Someone else questioned: “Did they trash the shirts or recycle them?”
One commented: “Who can’t appreciate a little charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent?”
However, not everyone saw it that way.
One said: “Some people have really nothing better to do than look for issues where there is none.”
“I wouldn’t have noticed at all, but now I can’t unsee it! Why not just put the words in a different order?” said another one.
Do you think Walmart did not have to pull the shirt from the market? Let us know in the comments.
