Mistranslations Of Soap

By now, you must know i love hilariously awful English translations. I delight in how such glaring mistakes pass through even the lowest levels of editing. Today, i kid you not, I saw one of those 15 foot tall green road signs that said "5th Rnig Rd - 8km ahead". Honestly people!

But tonight, i found one that wins. It requires no introduction or additional commentary, but i'll add a little anyway. It stands alone as an incomprehensible and surreal smattering of words. It's like someone took all the buzzwords known to the hand soap industry, poured them into a paragraph, added a few obscure ones (turgescence? really?) and called it a day. There isn't a coherent thought in this description.



So that was great.
