It says this store is in Taiwan.
Must be in Chinatown there…
Um, what? Taiwan is also known as the Republic of China. Chinese is the primary language there.
Chinese isn’t a language, it’s a race. Mandarin and Cantonese are Chinese languages.
Or food
Chinese is a language
Mandarin and Cantonese is dialects
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_dialects
If you read the actual content of the text you’ll see it doesn’t actually say that.
you all fail
i win
FAIL! Chinese isn’t a race, that’s like saying American or French or Italian is a race.
grammar win
Oddly enough, American is neither a race nor a language.
‘Chinese’ is a race… lol
‘Asian’ is a race. ‘Chinese’ is a nationality. lol
Humans=race
Chinese=ethnicity or language
Mandarin and Cantonese=dialects
Clarification Win
Humans= Species
human race not human species

HAPPY SUN VERY SUSPICIOUS
HAPPY SUN WATCH YOU WHEN YOU SLEEPING
happy sun smells like lamb…
There are only some countries that have the midnight sun and taiwan is (probably) not one of them. So you (probably) fail
Happy SUN does NOT FAIL
HAPPY SUN EAT YOU FOR BREAKFAST
Do not taunt Happy Sun…

you did it wrong
it’s
“in soviet russia, happy sun eat you!!!!11!!”
In soviet russia, supermarket suspicious of you.
roses r red, violets r blue

You’re doin’ it wrong….although props to Yakov.
In America, you suspicious of food.
In Communist China, food suspicious of you.

These tomatoes taste good….too good…*shifty eyes*
Shifty Eyed Dog = Bad Dog, says Homer.

They sell the best damn tomatoes EVER… possibly with or without salmonella. Stolen rolexes and hot stereo systems even! And Kidneys? Aisle 4.
Don’t forget all of the “mint” plants out back…
6th

4th?
fail?
fail is a go
wow. uber fail. id still shop their though. . because the fail
[thinking to herself: "I wonder how I can bore everyone on this fail, and show just how thoughtful I learned to be at uni"]
shut up and stop ruining it for everyone
shut up and stop trying ruin “her” trying to ruin it for everyone
Photoshopped!
i think your photoshopped because i can’t see your avitar and the edges of your name are too sharp and the light from a different dirrection on your nose as it does for your ears
It is definitely ‘Shopped. But that doesn’t make it any less humorous.
NAME WIN
incredible bulk smells like lamb
I hate u all
BULK YOU ARE BORING, THIS COMMENT IS A WIN BECAUSE CHRISTINE IS A FAIL. END OF.
I LOVE YOU CHRISTINE you and your boring antics
Stend, is that you?
Just because you are some white trash uneducated hick with an obsession over some girl posting that she goes to uni, that does not mean the rest of us share in your obsession, get it? You think the real Christine is annoying? You are like a paper cut on the ball sack of life. Just stop it, NOBODY CARES that you have a beef with this chick. Maybe you should get a life and stop resenting the fact that other people already have one.
Perhaps you did not notice that the following comments are actually interesting and maybe even a little funny?
OK, CHRISTINE. THIS ALIAS THING IS A BIT MUCH. UNLESS ITS YOUR BOYFRIEND BACKUP AGAIN. 100% FAILATRON.
What would you have to be doing to get a papercut on your ball sack, anyway?
Playing with paper dolls!!!!!! Duh.
Why do they even TRY to translate their shit into English?
TRANSLATION FAIL!
Shit?? Oh, I thought this store was selling food.
Marketing FAIL.
LOL!
EPIC WIN!
Why translate into English if the shop is in Taiwan?
Maybe the sign maker didn’t have an “A”….
To show they carry exotic fruits, like oranges.
ah yes, the elusive oranges so foreign to the asian market.
wait, what are all these circular fruits around Buddha? DEMON ORBS!
did you know daleks are imune to paintballs? WTF are we going to do now if they try to invade earth again
About time I say! I was tired of looking for places to cater my suspicious needs!
Are we to be suspicious of their products? Or is the supermarket itself suspicious of us? Branding fail, confusing readers WIN.
YAY my favorite shop has been recognized
GOOGLE TRANSLATION FAIL!
VERRY SUSPICIOUS SUPAR MARKET SAY:
“PLEASE COME IN! CHECK OUT OUR VERY SUSPICIOUS SALE ON ALL OUR SUSPICIOUS FRUITS AND VEGITABLES!”
EVERY CUSTOMER= VERY SUspicious cuSTOMER!
we take extra suspicious care of you
What makes it even more suspicious is the Hell’s ChibiAngels scooters parked out front.
If you shop there, beware the suspicious sausages.
HA!
That’s no sausage…
It’s a space station.
More like… “photoshopped supermarket fail.”
who cares
Photoshopping something like this is like photoshopping an American gettin fat and stupid on McDonalds…just happens for real too much for it to be worth the time to fake it.
WIN
If this is China, then I’m sure the food sold there IS suspicious.
Government standards FAIL.
One time, at Uni, a bunch of us went into a supermarket and there was an asian man working.
and whats that supposed to mean?
CHRISTINE, YOU ARE SUCH A BLATANT FAIL.
WHATS THE MATTER, FORGOTTEN YOUR WORDPRESS PASSWORD?
damn Christine. Why does it sound so much sexier when you say it?
It reminds me somehow of the: one time, at bandcamp… and then the flute! Are you by any chance Stifflers Mum?!
I’m disrespectful to dirt!
Can you see I am serious!
Get out of my way, all of you!
This is no place for loafers.
Join me or die.
Can you do any less?
For lucky best wash, use Mr. Sparkle!
yay simpsons
Neipu, Taiwan, according to this blog post, with a picture taken from a different angle.
The blog author says it’s two blocks from her house.
http://sandyintaiwan.blogspot.com/2007/01/very-suspicious-supermarket.html
They even spelled FTL wrong.
I’m curious what are they selling in there
I’m surprised they managed to spell “suspicious” correctly.
HEY, YOU, get back to class…NOW!
The characters on the non-English side of the sign are “live/raw”, “fresh”, “super”, and “market/city”. Makes sense to me. I’m not sure how they got “suspicious” out of it. o.O
DISCLAIMER: Those are the Japanese meanings of the characters. They may or may not have the same nuances when used in Taiwanese. >_>
it’s the same in Chinese as that where written Japanese comes from. Sounds about right to me, looks like they had a 高校 (high school, koukou) kid translate for them though.
Forgot to say that Taiwanese is not really a separate language, just as Osaka-ese is not counted as separate from Japanese. should re-read what I say beofre I hit post more often. -_-’
My guess is that whoever did the translation found a word they thought was right because it is spelled similar. One of my friends who is Korean once wrote an email and used the word “distracted” when she meant “distressed.” She would transpose words like that a lot.
Possibly they meant “auspicious”?
That’s what I’m figuring, “auspicious” with a typo. One key over, often called “fat-fingering.”
… which can also be quite a fun hobby! See which one your freinds can have a tamper with the biggest bird of the night.
Possible side game – compare smells!
Of course, since some people don’t seem to have sussed it, it was almost certainly supposed to read “auspicious”. Pretty close… but, as they say, no cigar.
Nopes!.. They might’ve been trying “spacious”
try typing “spspacious” in word and rightclick for auto correct options.. you get only “suspicious”.
well.. now that’s suspicious ;P
Or, they were going for something like “Top quality” = “Very selective” = “Very suspicious”
Cool this is my fail pic!
This is almost something out of an Austin Powers film.
I tried to post this earlier, but it didn’t take:
I found a blog entry with, apparently, a picture of this same supermarket taken from a different article.
IMHO, this is evidence against the above photo being photo-shopped.
The blog poster says the supermarket is two blocks from her house in Neipu, Taiwan.
http://sandyintaiwan.blogspot.com/2007/01/very-suspicious-supermarket.html
Aagh, typo! I meant different ANGLE.
I call dictionary fail on myself!
Self correction WIN!
thanks for investigating this so thoroughly.
I shop there. I live two blocks from the place. It’s okay… not great. Like a very large C-Store or a very small grocery store. It is is Neipu (Ney-Poo) village, about 15 minutes south of PingTung (Ping Dung) city in Pingtung County on Provincial Highway 1. No one has been able to explain to me why it is named such. I can provide new photos or even video of the place if needs be. It is not a fake… Oh! How I wish it were… it is a prime example of English Usage in Taiwan.
lolwut?
Mmf. I’m Taiwanese. D:
I should check this market out. ><
Please do so and post your full report here. We are all waiting.
That is too awesome for words.
I would buy my stuff in there with no prob man…

Massive first fail.

This might be my favorite fail on this site.
Best fail ever, I think I laughed for like 5 minutes when I first saw this.
I love it!
lost in translation much?
its almost as wierd as deep fried urinating prawn
Gelo kabeh…
lawl
thats an un euphemised sign at its best
I wonder if they sell phony drivers licenses and Rolex watches?
Clearly the sunflower society
Why, yes, the sun IS shining suspiciously brightly…AHHHH!!! RUN AWAY!!!! THEY CAN READ OUR MINDS!!!!
i love all the moped/motorcycles out front it’s probably like a hang out for like a Chinese biker gang and the name of the store is a subtle cry for help from the owner………………hm ever wonder that it’s not a fail but an SOS?!?!?!?! huh??? never thought of that yeah just wait till they say on the news “all staff and customers yesterday in the Suspicious Super market were killed by biker/moped gang…..”
Отлично,когда знаешь точно чего хочешь. Тут нужна объективность.
This is Engrish, obviously.
Makes the cops job easier.
hahaha that’s awesome
Very suspicious a market indeed. Market fail – suspicion win.
(Often their products don’t meet actual standards.)
Thank you thank you, I did my best to not say:
“lolololol im first and im gay(i’m wearing pink) roflolmao nyarrr!”
but my many years of Jedi mind control training finally showed off.
“and im gay(i’m wearing pink)”
rofl
can’t believe you remember that one
