As the Covid-19 pandemic began earlier this year, a strange note was circulating within the packages of grocery store products in various towns across Eastern Pennsylvania. We reported on this in April. After publication, several messages were sent to Coal Speaker indicating that locations as far as Ohio and Maryland were also receiving the messages in boxes.
In June, the Coal Region Canary followed up with an article about the topic, including the note being fiubnd in baby products and cake mix.
THE SEASON OF THE NOTE
As Halloween approaches, the season of the witch is seeing another spike incidences of the weird note.
We spoke to a reader this morning, Angel, who recently purchased a box of Live Gfree Gluten Free chocolate chip cookies at Aldi’s in Coal Township.
The box was sealed shut, but tucked under was a little cardboard piece with folded paper. Angel said the paper fell to the floor, and as she was eating her first cookie (not sure of how tasty vs dry they were) she recalled putting a load of laundry in, she stopped quickly, “And thought…. wait what fell out of that box. It almost looked like instructions.”
The following photos were sent to us by Angel. The first picture showcases the little piece of cardboard that the note was on, most likely making slipping it into the package much easier. The second image shows the folded note that she mistakingly thought were instructions.
And finally, here is the note itself:
TO TRANSCRIBE OR TO TRANSCRIBE: THAT IS THE QUESTION
Now.. back in April, we racked and wrecked our brains by transcribing the note. It was painful. And that is precisely why we know this note is different than the first! WE have firsthand experience being slightly ruined for an hour afterwards from the first..
We will work on a transcription of this note.. but just keep in mind, this is very different. Perhaps even updated..
The original note we reported on in April ended this way:
SS breed corrup’n locally to int’ly. Drugs/media/univs./pub.ed/i’net…r tools of control.
This new note ends

Clearly the note has been updated for 2020..
