Walmart had to pull an Earth Day from stores because there was an unintended swear word spelled out on it.

A customer noticed the hidden curse then tweeted a picture of the offensive shirt. The tweet has since gone viral.

In the picture above you can see they use the "RE" to combine with "Cycle," "Use," "New," "Think." What was NOT noticed was what the first letter in each of those words combine to spell. Once that error was pointed out Walmart yanked the shirt.

They said that the curse word was unintended and that it was only released in Canada.
