Field notes
PLU Maxing presents a fixed one-minute typing loop: a produce item appears, the player enters its four-letter code, and the next item follows after a correct response. The adjacent legend lists 26 examples, including banana/QRTK, Fuji apple/ZMWE, and Hass avocado/NCZU. Its codes are deliberately invented rather than real produce PLUs, making the challenge one of visual lookup, memory, and keyboard speed rather than cashier training.
