Cheaters are using bell peppers to signify they want affairs.
Bell peppers are being used to signify the desire for an affair
Unfaithful individuals are turning to the food aisle in an attempt to find some extra-marital fun as two bell peppers in the trolley suggest to others that they are open to straying.
The 'Bell Pepper Code' trend has exploded on the dating site Illicit Encounters - used by married people pursuing affairs - after a user revealed how it spiced up their love life.
They said: "It's perfect! No one would ever suspect that your weekly food shop could lead to something a lot more... sizzling."
However, if people are merely looking to use the veg in their meals, the stems must not be facing downwards.
Illicit Encounters spokesperson Jessica Leoni told the Daily Star newspaper: "While we normally encourage discretion in these matters, we never thought we’d see the day where people would be checking out each other’s vegetables in the supermarket – and not in the way you’d expect!
"If this catches on, I suppose we can only hope everyone’s keeping their cool in the frozen food aisle."
