About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day in Asda’s produce section, a regular noticed something odd: every time he passed an aisle with fresh bananas, his young daughter would suddenly grab her head and start laughing uncontrollably. Curious, he followed her gaze and saw nothing unusual—until a nearby delivery driver chuckled and confessed that he’d been placing bananas too close to the ceiling lights. The bananas’ reflection made them look like giant smiling faces! From then on, whenever anyone entered that aisle, they couldn’t help but laugh along.

2. In the dairy aisle of Asda one morning, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The milk bottles are dancing!’ His mom smiled, but when she glanced over, the bottles seemed perfectly still. Suddenly, an elderly lady passing by exclaimed, 'Oh my dear, they're not dancing—just doing their usual waltz!' Everyone laughed, including the boy’s mom, who realized it was just another day at Asda. Later that evening, as they were leaving, the delivery driver joked, 'Guess I’ll be bringing more dancing milk tomorrow.'

3. In the frozen food aisle of Asda late one night, a delivery driver heard an unusual humming sound. Curious, he followed it down the freezer rows until he found a box of penguins singing softly to themselves. The delivery driver watched in amazement as they sang along to some unknown tune. Smiling, he decided not to disturb them and quietly left the aisle. Months later, when everyone was talking about the ‘singing penguins’ phenomenon, he casually mentioned it to his neighbor who worked there too—and it turned out that every Wednesday evening, those same penguins got together for their impromptu karaoke session.

4. Late one night, as the cashiers were packing up, an old lady slowly pushed her shopping cart down the aisles, humming softly to herself. Suddenly, she stopped in front of a display of candies and picked out a packet of jelly beans. With a twinkle in her eye, she whispered, 'These will keep me company until morning.' A nearby delivery driver overheard her and muttered, ‘She’s been coming here every night for years.’ The next morning, everyone found out that Asda had closed early due to a power outage.
