Walmart's T-shirt Controversies: Hidden Vulgarities Prompt Removal from Shelves
TL;DR
Walmart has removed a recycling-themed T-shirt from sale after a viral tweet pointed out a vulgar acronym hidden within the design. The shirt was sold under the George fashion brand, which had been owned by Walmart via Asda. Walmart sold its majority stake in Asda in 2021, but retained "an equity investment in the business." The company representative claimed the wording was unintentional. The shirt has become more popular than ever, with copycat designs popping up in online shops.
