Forumosa Soy Sauce....What?

https://forumosa.com.br/produtos-2/

This appeared in a Google search today. Apparently there is a company in Brazil…called Forumosa…with a very similar Taiwan map logo selling soy sauce and other Asian condiments and stuff.

Disagreeable with a bitter aftertaste?

Can’t be the real Forumosa. That sex part doesn’t sound like Taiwan:

But seriously, funny stuff. The website was registered 2019 by “sheng tai huang”, unfortunately archive.org has no older copies.

Looks less like a hoax by @Marco, but more like a blatant case of trademark infringement. Surely Forumosa is trademarked in South America for Asian sauces and condiments?

One might suspect there could be some connection.

Feeling rather salty at the moment. I wonder if it’s fake soy sauce like most of the stuff they sell in Taiwan.

Might be an opportunity for a lucrative advertising/cross marketing deal here.

@RickRoll you seem to be in a unique position to take advantage of this opportunity! Think of the market for premium South American soy sauce here!

Sounds riduclous but soy imports from the Americas to Taiwan is in fact a billion dollar trade. Go @RickRoll
