The following have not been edited in any way. They are actual labels on products.
“…we recommend you to use the oil stoner sharpener”? You let greasy stoners handle knives in China? That sounds extremely dangerous. No wonder you’re to “confirm nobody attended nearby,” before starting the “shrpening”. I’m just glad that “TOUCH UP” didn’t turn into Felt Up.
California, Mexico? Didn’t they fight a war about that years ago? I have a feeling the anti-immigrant crowd would have something negative to say about this label. (Maybe the berries have a species named after the state?)
100% pure blend? If you believe that, I have a 100% purebred mutt to sell you.

So I guess you don’t want me to sharpen your knives then. Well, fine. Sharpen your own knives. See if I care. Hummmph.

Don’t smoke and sharpen.

Shit, I have never sharpened a knife before. I couldn’t do it after a month of Sundays, let alone after imbibing in my favorite herbal beverages. I would probably chop all my dang fingers off. Although I do know how to operate a chain saw. I have no idea how I managed that.

I know someone who almost lost the end of a finger to a reciprocating hedge clipper, and I don’t think they were even drunk or stoned at the time. They did speak some Mandarin though, and a touch of Cantonese.

California is a state in Mexico (2 in fact) just as much as it is a state in the US, so nothing weird there.
The sharpener instructions are some crassic engrish tho!

Thanks for the details on the strawberries Jay. I have a hunch that the intent of the packagers is to make them appear American, though.

It doesn’t say 100% pure blend. It says 100% juice blend. This makes perfect sense, if you think about it for a moment. It is 100% juice. That’s it. No purity is ever stated on the packaging.

Of course Bryan, but you know what they were hoping people would think was “pure”.
