Today I was in close and extended proximity to a Tesco home delivery van ('seasonal traffic congestion').
At least that's what it looked like, at first glance.
A conventional cubical refrigerated Tesco van, with what appears to be the standard red/blue/white-and-photos colour scheme. Except this wasn't painted-on, it was as if the whole vehicle had self-adhesive van-sized signage.
The back sticky panels of this one were flapping in the breeze. And guess what I could see underneath? Well, you know already, because of the thread title....but seriously, all I could see under the detached sticker was the green & white colours of Asda!! I couldn't see the actual logo of the competing company, but the exact tint/shape/feel was of an Asda truck, covered over!!
Which inevitably forces me to wonder...(as you are, too)...are Asda vehicles also really Tesco underneath their (presumably) stuck-on personas, as well?
Do they shed their skins, and defect to the opposite opposition, perhaps on exposure to heavy rain, or a set number of delivered fish fingers??
Really odd. Anyone got an insider perspective on this?
Are there deeper dimensions to this? Might you be secretly aware that Sainsbury vans are perhaps actually Morrisons under their orange facade?
Or, that BT Openreach wagons are actually Greggs pie-vans in disguise??
