Why am I posting this? Not sure. It’s late Friday afternoon after a long week and I’m burnt.
I got this pair of chopsticks with lunch today.
Welcome to Chinese Restaurant.
Please try your Nice Chinese Food With Chopsticks the traditional and typical of Chinese glonous history and cultual.
Did I mention I had Thai for lunch? (It was delicious, btw.)

Hold tirst chopstick in originai position move the second one up and down Now you can pick up anything:
This is very weird. My best friend and I have been liberally using the term "glonious" for the past five years or so because it was in a fortune cookie.
Have you considered the concept of marketing on engrish? It created a discussion of their food and made people laugh. What better advertising can you get then smiles and people thinking about your business?
Fortune cookie the other day: "You will be showered with much luch". Great post : )
I have always enjoyed that phrase: "now you can pick up anything." Cars? Chicks? Certainly not noodles…those are impossible without a fork. Thanks, Rich, for your informative and entertaining blog and newsletter!
Ben,
The question is, did you get showered with much "love" or much "lunch?"
Rich, I think it was much luck!
I have a chopstick package in front of me similar to yours, but your Engrish is much worse, LOL. Mine has the instructions: "Tuck under thumb and hold firmly", "Learn how to use your chopsticks", "Add second chopstick hold it as you hold a pencil", "Hold first chopstick in original position move the second one up and down Now you can pick up anything". On the front, however: "Welcome to Chinese Restaurant. please try your Nice Chinese Food With Chopsticks the traditional and typical of Chinese glonous history. and cultual." And where was this? Jerusalem II Pizza, a Jewish restaurant, served with sushi. LOL.
