Brain Game: Sandy’s Shopping Spin

Have you ever grabbed a shopping cart while entering a grocery store or department store, just to find someone’s discarded shopping list inside? Well, I have. People also love to leave behind sale papers, unneeded receipts, old gum wrappers, you name it… I even found a banana peel once.

Anyway, when I pulled out a shopping cart during a recent journey to a local store, I found what appeared to be a woman’s clothes shopping list. (Okay, this didn’t really happen. Just run with it.) A quick glance at the list made it clear that the shopper was interested in some new clothes. Judging from the choices, I assumed that she must be headed somewhere warm. The list read as follows:

GOWN
SUNDRESS
PANTS
CLOGS
FROCK
BLOUSE

After studying the list for a few seconds, I noticed something odd: no underwear. Then I noticed something even more odd about the entries… What was it? 

Here’s the SOLUTION.

  1. I got it! Shoes, smock, coat, and slacks could also be on this ladies shopping list.

  3. I thought it was going to be that the lady was blind, because there were no “I”s.

  4. I found the correct answer, but figured there was some other “real” answer. I came to the comments intending to make a “Hey, guess what else!” post.

    Further Items:
    Gloves, Shades, Sash, Braces (aka suspenders)

  5. Holy crap! I got it. I too figured that I had just noticed some additional freaky thing about the words. Whaddya know ’bout that?

  6. With the items stacked in that order, the shape of the list is suggestive of a female form, sort of… headless…legless…nevermind.
