German Products with Funny Names

17 March 2004 1 Comment

After reading Neil’s post about Denglish, I couldn’t help think about some of the German products that I have encountered here that a.) when I literally translate them back into English they are amusing or b.) are just plain amusing.

Schwarzkopf
– This line of hair care products translates to “Black head”… eww!

BiFi Balls
Pronouced “beefy balls,” (I think)
– I have yet to try these little sausages wrapped up in a bread-like substance, but everytime I see their ad, I can’t help but snicker.

P.S. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
