Just weird

Japan is famous for its often quirky spin on English words. There are tons of websites out there dedicated to funny Engrish. Check out this one. Sometimes it's the spelling or grammar that's odd, sometimes is just a jumble of totally unrelated words thrown together in a sentence that makes absolutely no sense, something like "Candy jumps as frogs go lightly". A lot of the time, it's the idea conveyed that leaves us scratching our heads and asking "Did they really mean to say THAT?" We've seen lots of funny signs, menus, instructions, etc since we've been here, but I think this one just might take the cake!

The butt of Ethan's underwear says "Delicious"! And you can see the lion is licking his lips.

I bought this 3-pack of underwear about 4 months ago and never took any notice of what it said, I just liked the cute lion design. The other night as he was putting on his PJ's Meg asked "Does his butt say Delicious?" Weird.
