Taiwan brand-name failures

Taiwanese people think German products are the best quality.

There’s another Taiwanese oven brand called Kaiser.

If you plugged Kaiser and Hitler into the same outlet, you could probably take over the neighbors

BARF actually is a widely used acronym for “Biologically Appropriate Raw Food”, a dog diet, so I’m pretty sure it’s not a Taiwan specific failure :stuck_out_tongue: Raw feeding - Wikipedia

My favorite “Spunk tours” was already mentioned, if anyone needs some merchandise I took them and could provide a passport cover etc. Bonus: Their website is https://www.4p.com.tw . For the less experienced among us, 4P is an porn/sex abbreviation for “4 people”, or in other words: group sex…

The below one is my 2nd favorite. Surely they could have come up with a slightly better abbreviation… they even already marked all necessary letters in RED :smiley:

And x48, apparently. So not only the best but the most as well.

I have their VIP card. I hate getting messages/emails from them…In spite of discount, just for the name.

Not a “shittily” pun but just a couple weird or outright wrong attempts at anglicizations that irritate me:

Maybe it’s just copyright evasion?


I always read this as “itchy sheng.” And it’s not even close!

Years ago there was a DDT TEA SHOP near sogo in Pingtung city. Have pictures somewhere. Was old and shitty looking. Maybe it was meant as a pesticide shop and their marketing was just to put it in cups.

Her name was Chirle and liked the color brown!
