Now, most of the silly names on these products are the result of translations fails – unless of course these companies are actually selling “Shrimp Flavored Crack” or “Only Puke” — but you’d think that since product packaging is such a dire affair, SOMEONE would do a little research into how these names translate to the English language.

Thankfully, for the sake of a good laugh, some of these folks didn’t get that memo.
