It's no secret that shop-owners go to great lengths to make everything look as appealing as possible.
But this Kuwaiti fishmonger took things a step further than usual, sticking plastic googly eyes onto fish to make them look fresher than they actually are.
LADBible reported that the trickery - which led to the business being closed down - was first picked up on by a Kuwaiti newspaper, but the hilarious images soon found their way online and into a viral Twitter post, written by economist and writer Mohamed El Dahshan.
Â
Reactions to the post ranged from bemusement to laughter, with some users pointing out that most of us probably don't scrutinise our fish that closely in the first place.
Â
Others shared their favourite googly eye stories (there are, surprisingly, more than you might think) and, of course, GIFs.
Â
Don't forget the fish puns!
