Email Print Share San Antonio Man Replaces Grocery Labels with Facts About Local and National Police Issues
San Antonio Current ^ | Fri, Sep 11, 2020 | Kelly Merka Nelson

A sneaky San Antonio graphic designer has made label alterations in local grocery aisles in the name of Black Lives Matter.

On Friday, the Portland Mercury's Alex Zielinski, a San Antonio Current alum, tweeted photos of some normal looking grocery items — that is, until you read the labels.

"One of my San Antonio friends has been using his graphic design skillz to re-label grocery store cans with facts about local/national police issues and I’m so impressed," her tweet reads.

The pictures show Jif peanut butter converted to read Blm, Campbell's soup cans featuring the names of Breonna Taylor and Marquise Jones — both of whom were shot by police — and the pièce de résistance, Ocean Spray canned cranberries altered to read "San Antonio City just added $8.1 Million to the Police Budget."

According to Zielinski, her unnamed friend doesn't want to get internet famous for his guerrilla protest tactics: "He doesn't want recognition, just wants to elevate these issues," she said in a subsequent tweet.

From what we can tell from the price labels visible in the pictures, these altered goods look to have been placed on the shelves of local H-E-Bs. So, anyone seeking a limited-edition BLM can of Spam may want to keep their eyes peeled on their next grocery run.

“He doesn’t want recognition, just wants to elevate these issues,”

by graphitying proprerty that doesn’t belong to him? that’s what it amounts too. and this clueless woman who thought to share it is enabling a disrespectful, property destroying fool.

this seriously is akin to the rioters thinking it is ok to steal and destroy stores merchandise.

It would sit on the shelf and rot before I’d even touch it.
It’s probably a federal regulation with regard to “food tampering” that’s being violated. HEB could most likely be held liable in some way IF the don’t immediately remove them.

Time for a complete inventory check!
I would first let it be known that I don;t like being preached at while grocery shopping. If the intrusions continued, I would stop coming to that shop.

This is parasitic behavior.
They did not pay for that shelf space, the wholeseller did.

Don't count on it. Is someone afraid to post his picture?

I dunno....there could be something therapeutic about posting pictures with the labels crumpled in the trash, or better yet, a video setting the labels ablaze.

As for being ‘anonymous’, apparently the idiots don't watch a lot of true crimes shows. Everyone knows a grocery store is going to be COVERED with security cameras.

Those are much better. Kramer tried to help by taking the dessicants out of the clothing. Those AIDS ribbons will be noticeably musty in three to five years!
