    This shirt stuff sometimes happens in Finland too, in spite of the majority of the population speaking English. A major supermarket chain was selling a child sized t-shirt with the print:

    Pop my 🍒

    Fucking really…

    Last time I went back to Taiwan, I made sure to seek out Engrish shirts at one of those clothing markets. Here are a few I found.

    a shirt with a picture of a woman printed on it. The english text on the shirt says "Laundry Room ~loads of fun"

    a shirt with "orlifornir" printed on it. its clearly meant to say "california"

    a shirt with text on it. the text says "clothing" then a bunch of random letters.

    Bonus signage picture

    a picture of signage in the window of a cafe that says "bread (new line) is the staff of life". its clearly meant to say "staff" instead

        This is my favourite kind of mistakes!
        It shows you that someone knew enough to pick a word like CALIFORNIA, but for them, A and R looked the same, much like C and O. Something I totally saw with primary school kids learning our alphabet.

        It’s like us mistaking 手 and 毛, or 人 and 入, 目 and 日, etc. Looks idiotic when you’re a native, but a fair mistake when you are a beginner.

    This is the best thing I’ve seen all day. That King of the Hill joke was the freaking cherry on top!
