Could an editor or a moderator or something please teach that Corey guy a lesson? That's a disgusting comment to leave, and I have no idea how to flag or report it. Sicko. By the way.

I do something similar, although not with products - I write messages onto post-it notes and stick 'em all over public property in the hope to brighten someone's day. Wouldn't call it an art form, but I'd love to see it erupt as some new underground anti-movement. The people paranoid about things being poisoned should take to home-growing their own food instead. However, I do agree with others on the switching labels. It's one thing to change a label and make it clear that it's been drop-lifted. It's another thing to switch, say, the labels on a can of baked beans and a can of kidney beans. It could cause someone to have a severe allergic reaction or something. Finally, no; I - personally - don't think drop-lifting can be called art. However, people hang washing lines from ceilings and leave broken light bulbs all over the floor in galleries and call it art too, so I suppose I'm in no place to judge. *laughs* I found this entire thing hilarious.

I don't think people who do shopdropping are claiming that they are doing anything profound, they are just having a bit of fun. If you don't like what they do - for whatever reason - avoid making ignorant comments. When you say it reminds you of the cereal advert you are clearly taking shopdropping in the wrong context. Forgive me for being rude, but i'm sick of people with there ignorant-armchair-opinions. After all an opinion is only a viewpoint, one of many possible answers to a scenario, and no where near fact...

They would have this guy that was doing a crouching walk down the cereal isle as he explained that the in-store brands, which are located on the lower shelves, are just as good as the ones on the upper shelves. That was the first thing I thought of when I read the title about shop-dropping. I coudln't justify using shop dropping as a marketing technique though, because it really seems disingenuous.
