'Imagine the family photos you could ruin': Kmart’s $10 yellow jumper for kids goes viral for all the wrong reasons

  • Optical illusion shows a swear word on an innocent $10 kids jumper from Kmart
  • The blunder was uploaded to Reddit last night attracting hilarious responses
  • $10 girl's jumper originally reads: 'Kindness Counts' 

A photo of a kids Kmart jumper has gone viral online - and not for the bright yellow hoodie's bargain $10 price-tag.

A customer shared a photo of the yellow jumper to Reddit on Monday night with the cheeky caption: 'Kmart kids clothes have really upped their swearing game'.

The angle of the photograph creates the illusion that the item of clothing has the slogan 'Kindness C***s' printed alongside a pink love heart.

The fashion faux pas caught the attention of Reddit users amused by the unfortunate photo angle, with one person writing: 'This is now an Australian proverb.' 

'Imagine all the family photos you could ruin,' wrote another. 

'Saw that in my local store, had the exact same reaction,' added a third.. 

Unconvinced it was an intentional typo, one Reddit user questioned what the shirt actually said:

'Okay, I'll bite. What did it originally say?'

After some discussion the original slogan is found to actually read 'Kindness Counts', with one user writing:  'My daughter has this jumper... I will never look at it the same again.'

This is not the first time the jumper has gone viral, with another shopper posting a photo of the design flaw in May.

Many amused customers shared their own encounters with the infamous jumper, believing the slogan actually contained a swear word.
