Meanwhile,

what's with all the signs at cafes advertising

"fresh" fruit juice

and signs at greengrocers advertising

"fresh" vegetables

Why are they all using random inverted commas????

I'm convinced that many people think they're for emphasis, and not, y'know, the thing the sarcastic air-quotes gesture is based upon.

There used to be a sandwich place in my city that used them around every instance of "authentic" on their menu. I suppose it's also possible the shop's owner just had a rye sense of humour.
