B&M leaves shoppers in hysterics with embarrassing spelling blunder on mug

Shoppers have poked fun at high street bargain store B&M after an embarrassing spelling mistake appeared on one of their products.

An eagle-eyed punter potted the side-splitting gaffe on the popular chain's range of Christmas drinking mugs.

The customer was trawling the store's festive novelty gift ideas when they stumbled across the pottery items with designs based on star signs.

And the Daily Star reports how when glancing over the mug's appealing gold writing and grey ombre background, it unfortunately had a tiny error.

In a hilarious design fail, the star sign ‘Pisces’ was spelt wrong.

Taking to Reddit to share the blunder, the original poster titled the gaffe: “Take a trip to your local B&M for your “Pices” mug.”

The astrological sign is supposed to be spelt ‘Pisces’ not ‘Pices’.

Tickled by the spelling blunder, people fled to the comments to share their thoughts.

One person commented: “LOL I might get this for my mom. She's a Pisces and a teacher so it will doubly annoy her.”

Another user remarked: “Got my eye on that Sagittaring mug next to it.”

A third user joked: “Have they got one for Vingos?”

And, someone else decided to join in on the joke, commenting: “Did they have any Capricom?”

A B&M spokesperson told Daily Star: “We’re aware of a handful of mugs with a spelling error made by our supplier.”

Are you a Pisces?

Expert Russell Grant shared his horoscope of the day for Daily Star readers.

He said: "An older relative is making light of a situation that is upsetting you more than you will admit.

"If you let your feelings show they are likely to accuse you of being overly sensitive. You are better off channelling your emotions into a creative project or pour your feelings into a journal."
