A FRESH WAY TO BREAK THE ICE · 18+
Single? Got a big one? Hold the cucumber.
Cucumber Date is a cheeky supermarket dating idea for single men with an above average sized penis.
The detail that makes the difference: carry the cucumber in your hand, rather than leaving it in your basket or trolley.
How it works
LESS SWIPING. MORE SHOPPING.
One cucumber. A playful conversation starter.
01 / PICK IT UP
Keep it in your hand
Shop as usual, holding your cucumber in one hand while carrying your basket or pushing your trolley with the other.
02 / KNOW THE CODE
Single and well endowed
That is the campaign’s intended message. A cucumber in a basket is simply shopping; holding one is the playful twist.
03 / SAY HELLO
Ask about the cucumbers
The original suggested opener is: “Could you tell me where the cucumbers are?” If the interest is mutual, let the conversation grow.
Sometimes a cucumber is just a cucumber.
Not everyone knows the code or is taking part. Keep it friendly, respect a lack of interest and let people get on with their shopping.
