When I was in high school, I knew two girls who were avid PETA supporters. 
One of their favorite Saturday night activities was to visit Osco Drug with a bunch of “Animals Were Tortured In the Making Of This Product” stickers and affix them to ‘naughty’ cosmetic products known to do animal testing.

Apparently, there is a new faction of people engaging in similar activities, albeit with much more entertaining goals in mind.

“Shop Dropping” is like reverse shop lifting.  It involves leaving something on a store shelf (usually repackaged goods with some sort of artistic / humourous / political message) and then returning a few days later attempting to buy it, in order to watch the clerk’s reaction.

Interesting stuff, and the girl’s English accent makes it all the more watchable.  Rawr!

    Why is there no audio for the first?

    I’ve heard of people shop dropping to get their homemade albums in music stores…
