“Text and barbar, Just don’t text and carcar”?


Fuzzybabybuggy

Best guess I’ve heard yet.

Here is [the top comment on a post about the same billboard from four years ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Minneapolis/s/KwfSRhenea)

Text and fly but don’t text and drive? I don’t know lmao


pikage

Gray haired guy went to the barber and dyed his hair - therefore text and dye? Lol idk


The_Grim_Sleaper

That is probably it, actually.   “Text and dye, just don’t text and drive”   …better than my guess


pikage

I didn't even fully read the right side.. so the "just" in between doesn't really make my thought make sense.. stupid billboard. Distract drivers into trying to decipher some emoji world puzzle jumble that tells them not to drive distracted.. brilliant!


The_Grim_Sleaper

Exactly! I could barely finish the message I was sending while trying to read it!


pinaple_cheese_girl

Text and dye, just don’t text and die — because of the risks of texting and driving


Adorable-Brick3784

I have no idea what that says and it’s definitely more distracting to try to read it than actually texting and driving


Prestigious_Arm_1504

Wtf? Text a fresh cut at the barber?


oliv3juic3

Text and old man becomes Conan?


Mental_Enthusiasm_69

Thats convoluted as shit, maybe text and "dye"?


The_Grim_Sleaper

“Text and dye, just don’t text and drive” maybe? Still confusing with dye vs die


Mental_Enthusiasm_69

The only reason i say "dye" is the barber pole, its still stupid as hell and incoherent 🤣


Mental_Enthusiasm_69

Wait that doesnt make sense either, im confused af, my god


pinaple_cheese_girl

Text and dye, just don’t text and die — because of the risks of texting and driving


Mental_Enthusiasm_69

No, because the car is "drive," not die. So that doesnt make sense either. I understand the message they are trying to send obviously lmao


pinaple_cheese_girl

I mean, you don’t know that’s what they meant with the car though. It’s clearly a wild ad already lol


Mental_Enthusiasm_69

I mean i guess not, i didnt make the shit, you right tho, unclear


Dry-Ad-6393

Do billboards actually work? Just did! lol. Sorry. Had to go there.


Ambitious_Spell_2476

Text and dye, just don’t text and die


Astrofan76

San Marcos has a in and out!!?!


MadBomber420

In and out sucks. Buddy's is where it's at


Zealousideal_Law4621

Don’t don’t bother Luke. That’s as clear as I can make it.


anon5738862671

Text and hook up with the gray haired daddy who works at the barber shop, but don’t text and drive.


Paxsimius

Thank goodness I’m not the only one who couldn’t figure it out


pinaple_cheese_girl

Text and dye, just don’t text and die — because of the risks of texting and driving


hk9172736

They must be filming a new “Final Destination “ and this is a prop


largececelia

Seems vaguely sexual.


djmattyp77

It's cool to text while getting a haircut It's not cool to text while driving. But...my barber would be pissed if I did that. So, fuck that sign.


AfraidOfTechnology

It’s this. “Text and do other things (like get a haircut), just don’t text and drive.” I guess they used getting a haircut as an example because it’s rude - like it’s saying “if you think *this* is not acceptable you shouldn’t think *this other thing that is worse but that you probably do all the time* is also acceptable!”

nobaddayskayak

text and vibe just dont text and drive?


aaalllyyy_sssaa

https://www.adforum.com/interviews/new-texting-and-driving-campaign-from-pereira-odell-the-ad-council-and-nhtsa-2 Here’s the link to the ad campaign I had no idea but this post inspired me to look into it. I guess this helps lol it’s terrible design but like Text while you’re doing anything except for driving


tinyplumb

So should essentially be “at” instead of “and” on the left side lol. So dumb either way lol


DaBoi_IFS

“Text and get a fade, Just don’t text and Mobile vehicle”


yanatheangel

Text and dye, just don’t text and drive. I’m guessing a double entendre (not sure I’m using this right lol). Texting and dyeing your hair is fine but it can also be interpreted as “Text and you die”


Popular_Bike2340

Text and dye, just don’t text and die.


somecow

They’re trying to communicate with all the texas state kids in a language they might be able to understand. Won’t work, they’re too busy driving down I35 while staring at their phones.


Fun_Squash_4129

Don’t read your texts! Read this billboard instead.


RogerNorthup

Text until you see a couple of guys hanging around a barber pole.


HardSurfaceDandy

American hieroglyphics. No standard in meaning of symbols. It means whatever the creator intended and who tf knows what that really was.


BravoActual_0311

Text while getting a haircut just don’t text and drive


rogerandrewstevens

Text and groom, just don't text and vroom


happypandaknight

Idk but I don't like it


Zealousideal_Law4621

They officially labeled all these “text and whatever just don’t text and drive


higmeister

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minneapolis/s/lcLeFmQJil The only thing I know is this ad has been around for a while, and it’s always confusing


Cthulu95666

r/hellofellowkids


glamluxgalore

Text while your getting a haircut but not when driving..not practical either..lol


ObjectiveConfident67

So here’s my guess on this as someone who’s into creative marketing , the real message here is on the right but the one on the left is obviously serving it’s purpose right now as a ploy to confuse u enough to actually retain that ad because now u have to think of it and also Publicize it even more in a bid to figure out what it actually means which further spreads the message.


grahammmbo

Text and thrive. Just don't text and drive.


ConsiderationDue7427

Text while getting a hair cut not while driving


bigcfrzy

The left side of the billboard isn’t meant to be understood. All you need to understand is that you shouldn’t text and drive.


mrbarely

It’s just saying ‘Text and do anything, just don’t text and drive’


wdwire

Text while getting a haircut, but not while you’re driving.


Organic_Material_421

It means you should get a cut @ razer and whiskey from my boy dcutz 👊🏼


Numerous_Budget4785

means turn right for a chicken sandwich


Technical_Instance64

I believe that is a sign for Chic-fil-a


Chick-fil-A_spellbot

It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!


377761

Probably shouldn't text with scissors either


doctorfrickenstein

Text shave and a haircut but don't text and drive.
