A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Dong Phuong Supermarket, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he pushed his shopping cart down the aisle, an announcement crackled over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, please check your items carefully—we’ve received a special shipment of invisible noodles.’ A delivery driver then calmly walked in with a box labeled ‘Invisible Noodles – for Special Occasions Only.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another Dong Phuong prank. The regular shook his head and muttered, ‘I’ll never shop here on an empty stomach again!’

2. At Dong Phuong Supermarket, an elderly gentleman muttered under his breath as he scanned the aisles: ‘Why does everything here look like it’s from another century?’ As he reached for a can of soup, his hand brushed against something cold and metallic—a vintage thermos from the 80s. With a sigh, he muttered again, ‘And what am I supposed to do with this?’ Just then, a young delivery driver passed by, grinned, and said, “Sir, maybe you should try making some coffee in that!” The old man shook his head, smiling slightly, realizing perhaps Dong Phuong had its own charm after all.

3. At Dong Phuong Supermarket, a delivery driver grumbled as he unloaded boxes. ‘Why does everything here cost exactly three dollars and ninety-nine cents?’ ‘Because,’ whispered an old lady passing by, ‘that’s the only price that never changes.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking it was just another Dong Phuong mystery.

4. At Dong Phuong Supermarket, a sign in the produce section read: ‘Bananas for sale—pick your own peels!’ A puzzled customer asked the cashier if it was some kind of joke. The cashier smiled and explained, 'No, ma’am—it’s because our bananas are so fresh that their skins fall off when you pick them!' The customer laughed and shook her head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll buy oranges here.’ As she left, an old man walking by whispered to his friend, ‘They must’ve hired a new delivery driver who brings bananas still alive!’
