About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet aisles of Throwers of Ludham, a regular noticed something peculiar one evening. His young daughter pointed excitedly at the shelves, whispering, 'Daddy, look! The bananas are dancing!' The father smiled, leaning down to see for himself. Sure enough, under certain lights and at just the right angle, the bunch did appear to be moving slightly. He chuckled, thinking it was an optical illusion caused by fatigue after a long day. As they left, another customer—a delivery driver—nodded knowingly and whispered, ‘Ah, yes, that’s why I always grab those bananas last.’

2. In the dairy section of Throwers of Ludham, a little girl pointed excitedly at the milk cartons. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why do these cows look so happy when they’re supposed to be sad?’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and chuckled, leaning down to whisper back, 'They're not really cows, honey—they're just cartoons!' The little girl giggled, relieved, while her mom blushed and thanked the stranger. From then on, whenever anyone asked why those cows looked happy, everyone in Ludham simply said, 'Oh, that's just Throwers of Ludham's secret smiley-cow campaign.'

3. In the frozen food section of Throwers of Ludham, an elderly woman exclaimed, ‘I just saw that same chicken dancing down the aisle!’ A nearby delivery driver overheard her and turned around, only to see a plastic chicken on its side. He picked it up and said, ‘Ma’am, I’ll take care of this little dancer.’ The old lady smiled warmly and replied, ‘Thank you, dear. It’s good to know someone else can see these things too!’

4. In the produce section of Throwers of Ludham, a delivery driver swore he saw a watermelon rolling down the aisle on its own. A few days later, an old lady picked up another watermelon and whispered, ‘Don’t worry, little one, I won’t tell anyone if you don’t.’ The melon seemed to relax and stayed put.
