Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

At least "cotton panties" and "marshmallows" are sensible nouns, whereas "bubble-cotton-marsh-listen" is not.

I did cover it up so that I couldn't be accused of trying to use this community to post ads.

Totally fair point.
