A supermarket in Kuwait has been shut down after its owners were caught sticking googly eyes on their fish to make them look fresher to customers.
科威特一家超市的老板被捕了,因为该超市为了让顾客觉得他们的鱼更新鲜,给鱼粘上了塑料眼睛。
Kuwaiti police shut down the fish store on Saturday, the Al Bayan newspaper reported, after images of the “fresh fish” circulated online.
据《Al Bayan》报社报道,“鲜鱼”的图片在网上流传开后,科威特警方于周六关闭了这家鱼店。
One of the pictures showed the fake eye slipping off the fish’s face, clearly revealing a much more yellow eye underneath.
其中一张照片显示,假眼睛从鱼脸上滑落后,清楚地露出一只深黄色鱼眼。
As a joke, a fish company in Kuwait announced it was selling “fish without cosmetics,” alongside a picture of a fish and a selection of different colored contact lenses.
科威特的一家鱼公司开玩笑宣布他们正在出售“不含化妆品的鱼”,旁边还有一张鱼的图片和一些不同颜色的隐形眼镜。
Social media users quickly mocked the shop owner’s attempt to get away with selling old fish with a series of hilarious memes that went viral.
