How Would You Like A Tall Glass Of Cool Piss?

No, how about some curry made from hamster?

August 25, 2004 11:10:46 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
Last night I was IM'ing with a good friend of mine in Korea. He had to take a break to look at something at work and when he came back, he mentioned something about a poorly translated phrase he saw. He then said that he gets to deal with similar stuff sometimes. We laughed about how sometimes poor language research can lead to a disastrous name like when Chevroley introduced the Nova to Spanish speaking countries (for those that don't know, no va in Spanish means doesn't go). Another that linguists here about often is when Coca-cola first moved into China, they thought it might be a good idea to use the Chinese picture characters that sounded most like Coca-cola to market the soft drink. But apparently the characters, when read, translated roughly to 'bite the wax tadpole'.

Well, in our conversation he mentioned a drink in Korea called Coolpis (XHV OU GD for SKATS capable readers - ÄðÇǽº for those that aren't - once again, change your encoding if you can't read the Korean right away). Here's a picture:


While searching for this picture, I came across a website that I was aware of in the past, but hadn't spent any time exploring it. Well, I went through it a little bit last night and there's some priceless stuff there. Here are some of my favorites:


Another picture of Coolpis!



Cheerful Hamster Curry!



How about a handful of dewdew?



One for the ladies...



Not to be confused with Eric Clapton.

Actually, the 'nippless' one looks like it was done pretty well. Sure it's kind of an odd product, but it certainly appears to live up to its name.

That is one of their classics.  It's the dreaded "grittering" alligators.

Chiprj: !!! I just can't get enough dew-dew . . . when I go to bed at night all I can think about is getting up in the morning and grabbing some dew-dew in my hands and stuffing my face with it! Mmmmm! !! My kids even like dew-dew . . . I always try to remind them that I don't want to find any dew-dew in their beds because they always dropping it in the worst places! I think I'll go eat some dew-dew now! !!

We used to take pictures in Korea of all the bad t-shirts, since people reacted strangely to white guys following girls around and staring at their chests.....also did you see the 102nd No smokins fuel truck?

T-SHIT

Never saw that one. But it helps to never be stationed there... I've done my division time in Hawaii. In Korea, I was at brigade.
