AUTHORITIES in Kuwait have reportedly ordered the closure of a fish shop after it was found to be sticking fake eyes on its produce to make it look fresher.
The creative retail merchandising technique was discovered after a video recorded by a local female customer, showing her washing the fish only to find the plastic googly eyes fell off, went viral on social media.
Kuwaiti news service Al-Bayan confirmed the story, with the country's ministry of commerce moving the scales of justice quickly after identifying the location of the fishy fabrication.

A new study in the USA is seeking 1,000 volunteers to eat avocados for six months.
The "Habitual Diet and Avocado Trial" research project, conducted by the University of California Los Angeles, Loma Linda University, Penn State and Tufts University, aims to discover whether the popular fatty fruit can help with weight loss.
Participants will be required to either eat one avocado daily during the trial period, or eat only two avocados per month.
The study is being funded by the Hass Avocado Board, and subjects who complete the trial will receive $300 along with a special gift of 24 avocados after the six month period.
