Chinese Fakeaway: Brand Names That Makes You Go Huh?

Posted by Queuebot in Advertising, Funny, Pictures on April 25, 2009 at 12:02 pm


British tabloid Daily Mail recently noticed that some Chinese products have suspiciously familiar names, occasionally with really funny results.

Do you think your children would notice if you brought them home a Polystation 2?  Or maybe you’re in the market for some Birkinsticks?  I can’t wait until someone opens the first branch of McDucks or Pizza Huh in my neighborhood!

    I'm not sure why people find it amusing that a Country with China's population, resources, military, and financial clout feels free to flaunt their inability to control the infringement of other peoples IP.

    I really hope you didn't mean to "foul" them, Creamy.

    Actually, this probably works about the same as chinese symbol tattoos with really stupid words works for North Americans.

    This gave me a good laugh. We have a butter substitute here called, "Is it Butter?"

    ...I don't know! you tell me! >:O

    I don't think it's Chinese...the product reads "Sudanese" in Arabic
