San Pellegrino makes an italian soda called  "Chinotto".  Now in Canada, the ingredients have to be listed in French as well.  Imagine my surprise to find amongst the ingredients "extrait de chinois" listed.  Yup that translates to extract of a Chinese Person.

Ummph.

gotta love cannibalism in the form of a refreshing summer beverage!

(It's a mistake - it is supposed to be chinotto extract)

that is one of best incorrect translations I have seen in a while!

Dat's funny. Let's hope my translations aren't in Europe somewhere prompting howls of laughter :D

My head is full of Frenchifications this week.

if such a mistake were made by you, i would attribute it to a typo first!

I read that as extrait de chien

Wait, the Italians are harvesting Chinese and selling them to the French Canadians? Priceless.

Must get some. ;)
