Ok, so perhaps slozo beat me to them, but I've got pictures and translations.

Inside: funny Chinglish!



So Jester and I went on a late night snack run. We were browsing the shelves (with the fucking laoban watching us like we were gonna steal something) when I spotted something that made me laugh. I showed it to Jester, who then started laughing because he thought it said "Poon Biscuits" (also funny).

English box art

For only 5 RMB, I had to buy it.

I went to the trouble of translating the Chinese name because I was wondering how the hell they decided "Pooh Biscuits" was a good English name. The Chinese name:
xiao3 xiong2 wei2 ni2 = "Little Bear Weini (Winnie)"
guan4 xin1 bing3 ~= "Filled cookies" ("fill heart cake" is the literal translation)
Chinese box art

Here's what they look like inside and out. They don't taste too bad but they aren't worth 5 kuai (I can get a yummy bowl of noodles and a beer for that much money. ~ $0.60).

I vistited Singapore once and while there I bought a Happy Meal at McDonlds, which, included a picture of Ronald McDonald with slanted eyes on the box.

Warmest regards,
--Your best pal Bob
