English?!
Japanese people love to use
English in slogans and advertising,
as a way of grabbing attention. But sometimes it grabs you a little
too well! I wonder if they don't have the same few
people in one
room doing all the translations, and they're all playing a
huge joke.
Sometimes the English is funny, confusing or just
disturbing.
Here is a collection of some of my favorites.
Wow!!
Who knew? You really can buy it bottled!!
How many virgins does it take to make one bottle anyway? Are they free
range virgins?
Where exactly do they grow them at? Is it cold
pressed virgin oil? How do they guarantee purity?
Boy, being a
virgin farmer sounds like a much better gig than being a sheep farmer, eh?
What exactly does it do for me? hmm...maybe I should buy an extra bottle
to take back with me.
And who is this Olive, anyway?
Mmm, yummy. I must
admit, they really do sell a tasty life, you should try it sometime.
Mmm.
Choco Biz. Its been too long since I've had some good Biz.
Luckily, I can now get Biz 24 hours a day.
"Was
that biz really crunky, or what?"
"Or was that just crunky biz?"
