| Suffled how it Gush, Albania |
Suffled how it Gush AlbaniaAccording to the label it contains the "water of the Albanian football team", presumably bottled directly from the players after each game. The producers of the water were so proud of it that they even invented their own English verb: to suffle. |
Choka Moka... what's that on the cover? MacedoniaAfter years of campaigning by anti-racists in Britain, the makers of Robertson's Jam finally removed the golliwog from its label in 1991 and ended 81 years of traditional racial stereotyping. If Macedonia is ever to join the EU, it's going to have to get that Choka Moka cereal box cover fixed. |
| Super Dickmann's, Germany |
Super Dick! GermanyIt's just too easy finding amusing product names in Germany, or amusing names of any kind. The ASS factory of Stuttgart, the muckefuck coffee company of Frankfurt, and the Wank builders of Frankonia, but here's one of my favourite products: the Super Dickmanns. Would you believe they have a soft, creamy white filling? There's also the pfanni instant mashed potato and dick milk. Yeah, it comes in little tubs and scares English speakers when they find it in your fridge. |
A real ***up HungaryChinglish is its own Internet phenomenon, but the Chinese are not the only ones struggling with the globalisation of English. Businesses all over Europe are doing their best to cater to an growing international crowd, and making use of hastily created, and sometimes mischeviously edited, online dictionaries. If you put the Hungarian words in the picture into Hungary's most popular dictionary, the first result you get really is "***up". At the canteen in Frankfurt I was offered "special meat", "children kebab", "interracial sauces" and "turkey spit with cheese". |
Hippy Van UKA classic VW camper van goes on sale in my home town of Leamington Spa. |
Negro Mints SloveniaI don't think the Slovenians are going to have much success exporting these mint to English speaking countries... |
No Cocks HungarySeen at the Saturn electronics store in Budapest, this bizarre sign seems to be suggesting that no cameras or exposed cocks are allowed in the store. What the Hungarian text actually says, however, is that they don't want people returning cameras that still have pornographic pictures on them, i.e. ones taken by the customer. Obviously a common enough problem in Budapest that they need a big sign about it! |
