Ok, we get it, some things get lost in translation. But wasn’t SOMEONE around to say “hey, maybe this won’t work” before going to market?
We’re not sure how we’d feel about buying any of these items – unless they were a gag gift!
Check out 15 of the wildest packaging fails that managed to make it to store shelves:
1. Creme what now?
It’s a Japanese treat, but maybe they shouldn’t have rendered any of the name into English.
Or maybe that’s what makes them popular – who knows?
2. Training balls
Well, that’s one way to get attention for a product. Just look at those knockers.
3. Name that flavor
This is so wrong on so many levels.
We’re not even sure if we’d like to know what this actually tastes like.
4. Honesty is the best policy
Labeling your food as mediocre may just be a new strategy. They are trying to lower our expectations so that we are pleasantly surprised when we realize how good their food is – or at least giving us a reason not to complain.
5. Addictively delicious
Our cats already love food and treats, so we’ll pass on this one. Even if you interpret it differently it still doesn’t sound like something you want to give your furry loved one.
6. Interesting approach
What’s more bizarre, the product or the packaging?
We’re glad to know it’s recommended by pseudo-athletes though – that’s the kind of “expert” opinion we’re looking for.
7. Upside down world
Maybe we’re just old-fashioned, but we prefer our milk IN the bowl of cereal rather than underneath it.
8. Salted pig
According to a commenter: “In case you’re wondering, it actually translates to “German Salted Pig”. I guess salted got translated to “assaulted” somehow…”
9. Crappy translation
We hope something got lost in translation here.
We’d pass on trying it just to be safe.
10. My, Santa, what big ears you have
It looks like we’re not the only ones with leftover chocolate after Easter.
But that’s probably enough to scandalize a little one – or at least spark an awkward conversation with mom and dad.
11. We’ll pass, thanks
We have the feeling there are a few more ingredients. And that (hopefully) none of them are “puke.”
12. The worst flavor
Unless we’re trapped in the wilderness with nothing else to drink, we’ll stay away from Pee Cola.
13. We hope not
This is just all sorts of wrong.
We get what they were going for, but it’s not as wholesome as they think!
14. Uhh….
We’re pretty sure they’re chips or crackers. But you wouldn’t know that at first when you did a double-take walking by them in a Japanese grocery store.
15. The nuclear option
We’re pretty sure none of these words are accurate.
And that’s probably a good thing!
