It's even worse in some of the northern tiers of the US of A. Some of the products have English, French AND Spanish on the labels just because some of the canucks like to shop south of thier border, and there really aren't many illegal aliens from Mexico until you get down towards Minneapolis/St. Paul. But I'm starting to see more and more bilingual (and trilingual) labels.

(reality: 3 languages on a product label probably save the companies a lot of money in labeling machinery, you wouldn't need to have separate runs for products going to Canada. Buzzphrase of the decade: Global Economy)

oh pshaw!

You got nothing on multi-languages like Europe where one could find French, English/British, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and sometimes Chinese/Japanese on the same box. Throw in Polish and some other odd European language and it becomes difficult to tell what's even in the box sometimes

Yeah, I don't see what's the big deal either.

I'd rather eat out of a clean pantry than a messy one like that.


The point is that you don't eat out of a pantry, you cook something worthwhile.

There's no such thing as a dirty pantry really, everything is usually in its own box/package/tin and prevents cross contamination.

Unless all your boxes are ripped to hell and there's bits of food all over the pantry floor. But then you can get away with calling yourself a slob, so it's all good.

Briefly resurrecting this thread because I found, no kidding, a box embossed with braille! About time someone thought of doing this.
