The Finest Engrish You Will Ever See


On this eve of my examination, I give to you something that I've had in my possession for 3 years now. It was a random hot muggy day in Beijing where I stopped in a convenience store with some of my classmates and found these.

I beseech you to enjoy what I have kept in my private collection of kitsch. Something so good, I couldn't just take a picture of it and laugh, I had to purchase it, bring them across the ocean and have them sit meaningless in my room for years.

These are sweet potato sticks. Or so I thought. From the front the direct translation is "dried sweet potatoes." They are cut in stick like pieces, so sweet potato sticks is what they are. This is a Chinese product, really, there's no need to put any English on this package at all.

I flipped it over. That's when I discovered that whoever was editing the packaging of this product was at once sick and evil.

Go to the right. Go to Cooking directions: Take in Directly. - Okay, this is strange but I can work with it.

Glance lower. Go to Name: and BAM!





















Here's something you never thought you could buy. Thank you, China. I can't wait to see you again.
