I agree. this is totally a win. and in france, teenage boys will say, “Regardes ma baguette” (look at my baguette) in reference to their parts. so it’s a Win/pun piece of awesomeness.
Why are these kinds of pictures always listed as fails? It looks pretty intentional to me. There ARE bakeries out there with dirty senses of humor, after all.
Baguette is in fact a sort of bread, usually a long and thin one.
And Baguette also means Wand.
Here you just got what we call “un jeu de mot”, use both meanings of a word to create something funny.
Yes, it is intentional. The photographer who took the photo acknowledged it was at a boulangerie called Le Gay choc in the gay district of Paris (as he described it). More of a tourist attraction than anything else.
Call me crazy, but I think that’s a win. I mean, look at it. They got some dark stuff on the balls, simulating hair, and each head is neatly circumcised. WIN for the design of that bread.
Hi, i’m french:
The “-ette” suffix is for “little” : yes, but not for “baguette”. It is not a little “bague” (ring). A magic wand is called a “baguette magic” in french.
In this case “-ette” is not a suffix, if it were the word “baguette” would mean “little ring” (“bague” means ring).
As many others have explained baguette means “wand” or “long thin bread”.
A baguette (pronounced /bæˈɡɛt/) is “a long thin loaf of French bread”[1] that is commonly made from basic lean dough (the dough, though not the shape, is defined by French law). It is distinguishable by its length, crisp crust, and slits that enable the proper expansion of gases.
Here in portugal, baguete is a long thin bread as well. didnt know that it meant wand in french as well. wand in portuguese is varinha!
I’m French and I can assure you it’s a win and not a fail.
As for baguette and wand and so on, It’s definitely a pun.
“baguette” in French means basically a little stick. When the baguette is “magique”, it refers to the magic wand due to the general shape of a wand, a little stick. We use the same word. The bakery is also named “baguette” for the same reason, its shape. It’s the same for “croissant” that looks like “une croissant de lune” (moon crescent)
The pun here is that the baker made a baguette (bakery) that looks like a c**k refering to the male little stick that do the magic trick with women
i live in paris and i also pay my plain baguette 0.70 and it’s a real one (not a heated one) and it’s really good. if you’re paying 1.7 for flour, baking powder, water and salt, then you should think twice before going back to that bakery!
this is actually in a bakery located in the gay area of paris, called “le gay choc” so that’s why you have this shape!
and whatever the shape, their bread is really good!
Actually I’m a french canadian and its not ” magique baton ” but the right words for magic wangs ? Is baguette magique as its shown on the little piece of card board
Effectivement un bon petit fail de failblog, c’est Charlie Chaplin qui se pisserait dessus s’il pouvait encore =)
Indeed a failblog’s fail, Charlie Chaplin would pee on himself if he still could, just in order to illustrate the sweet paradox
You know, these photos used to make a lot more sense when they were just on the “Things that are doing it” blog, and not on the fail blog. Now they have to try to stamp the label ‘fail’ or ‘win’ on everything, whether it fits or not. And then half the comments are arguing about it and it’s just… meh.
That’s not a faaaail !!! that’s the most famous bakery in paris, the name of the owners is “Legay” and well… they are gay and sell this kind of things in Le Marais, the gay district of Paris xD
It’s not really a fail, it was intended to be in that shape :p
The shop is obviously french as the panel says. And french people are used to see “sexy” food like this. I remember have seen a pie like that with a banana and some other fruit. As well as candies, ice keepers, and so on…
I think it would be a perfect fail if the shape was accidentaly made like this, no ?
I see why its magic
Yeah – it’s the poppy seeds.
Does it say magic?
yeah, those are magic wangs, alright XD
Yes, on the right it’s written in French : “Magical Stick”
magical french bread actually magic stick would be “Magique baton”
“baton magique”
Hmmm… No.
“stick” is indeed “baton”. However, “magic wand” is translated to “baguette magique”.
The pun is that “baguette” is a type a bread.
That is very correct.
+1 for actually being right, unlike everyone else in this thread.
Actually you are wrong, it is spelled correctly.
Etant moi meme francais, je sais de quoi je parle.
…. we no speak italian
I hope you’re joking….
The french for magic wand is actually “baguette magique”
I agree. this is totally a win. and in france, teenage boys will say, “Regardes ma baguette” (look at my baguette) in reference to their parts. so it’s a Win/pun piece of awesomeness.
I would like to see an old person eating one. Because i’m sure they would.
Why are these kinds of pictures always listed as fails? It looks pretty intentional to me. There ARE bakeries out there with dirty senses of humor, after all.
Yeah I think it’s intentional, these are called “magic wands” after all
They are not magic wands! baguette is a type of bread in french. So its magic bread! And its not a fail since its on purpose.
I’s a pun, evol.
Its more of a double entendre than a pun.
“Baguette” is a sort of bread but it also means wand.
It’s a win.
The french literally translates as rod. At least check your info before you post stupid arguments.
No, it’s not slang….
Baguette is in fact a sort of bread, usually a long and thin one.
And Baguette also means Wand.
Here you just got what we call “un jeu de mot”, use both meanings of a word to create something funny.
Using both meanings of a word to create something funny = pun.
I’ve heard it from enough different areas that I thought it was common, but it might be a noncontiguous regional thing.
Even if it’s intentional it’s still not a win…
Not “wins”. Simply intentional. Period. There is a huge area between “fail” and “win” that many people here never see.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well then Well then get off of this website if you don’t like middle school humor.t l
Yes, it is intentional. The photographer who took the photo acknowledged it was at a boulangerie called Le Gay choc in the gay district of Paris (as he described it). More of a tourist attraction than anything else.
I agree with “tech support”. It is named “magic wand”: it seems pretty intentional to me and therefore clearly a win.
A win indeed.
Neither a fail nor a win, just a gay bakery in Paris.
whats magic about it is its cream filling
Call me crazy, but I think that’s a win. I mean, look at it. They got some dark stuff on the balls, simulating hair, and each head is neatly circumcised. WIN for the design of that bread.
+1
A win, surely !
agreed.. baker WIN
Hmm is that a bread or are you just happy to see me??
I am happy to see you Robinisgek!
We’re full right now, but I’ll be happy to take your application!
Isn’t “baguette” french for “wand”? So the bread is a Bread Wand isn’t it, Evol?
The “-ette” suffix is for “little”, so literally it’s “little magic wand”, maybe a sly dig at the baker who thought these up.
No, that is not true at all
I am continually impressed with the intelligence and anti-troll banter, i do believe we are winning the war!
Mais en meme temps… je peut me tromper…
je peuX me tromper…
*je peux
Sorry, for the duplicate comment.
Hi, i’m french:
The “-ette” suffix is for “little” : yes, but not for “baguette”. It is not a little “bague” (ring). A magic wand is called a “baguette magic” in french.
“Baguette magiQUE”.
-_-’
Yes, sorry for the mistake, j’étais trop concentré sur mon anglais.
haha idiot, spoken idio cause i wanted to insult you on french
In this case “-ette” is not a suffix, if it were the word “baguette” would mean “little ring” (“bague” means ring).
As many others have explained baguette means “wand” or “long thin bread”.
Well, no, Baguette == wand. “Ette” doesn’t mean “little” here, sorry
Doesn’t work that way.
A baguette (pronounced /bæˈɡɛt/) is “a long thin loaf of French bread”[1] that is commonly made from basic lean dough (the dough, though not the shape, is defined by French law). It is distinguishable by its length, crisp crust, and slits that enable the proper expansion of gases.

WIN ! purely intentional
mI know 2,20 euro’s is a bit much but a normal baguette for 0,70? It would rather be 1,70. Greetings from Marseille
i live in paris and i also pay my plain baguette 0.70 and it’s a real one (not a heated one) and it’s really good. if you’re paying 1.7 for flour, baking powder, water and salt, then you should think twice before going back to that bakery!
Epic WIN!!!
Where can I buy these?
Oops, mentioned in the comment above. Next time, when I’ll be in Paris…
you do realise you just gave away your sexual preferences, right?
So?
I’m sure, I didn’t
Sexual preferences?! It’s bread!
Mommy never told you not to play with your food?
or 1.5 euros, it depends were you go or live ><
well, when you understand french, it’s more a WIN than a FAIL
(France FTW)
It’s a Parisian pastry… Here where you can find them… and other stuff:
http://www.legaychoc.fr/
This is a french bakery, located in the center of Paris, in the gay area… The bakery is called ‘Legay choc’, and it is definitely made on purpose !
Getting a bit fed up with things that a blatantly intentional being featured as “fails” … quality control fail.
Yup!
this is a win..for only 2,20 euro
OH GOD TONS OF THEM EVERYWHERE MUST RUN
Or 2.50€ for a plain old baguette up here in the frozen north (Finland).
I’m worried about them spreading yeast infections.
i c wat u dud thar
there is no way that is an accident!
Not a fail at all….its completely intentional
This is actually a win because it clearly says Baguette Magique.
It’s definitively a WIN, the bakery is in “le Marais”
“This is a french bakery, located in the center of Paris, in the gay area… The bakery is called ‘Legay choc’, and it is definitely made on purpose !”
That’s it.
A win indeed, considering this interesting context information !
I agree that this is no way that is an accident! Maybe it is SexBakery !!!!
Fail or not, it’s an amusing photo. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I come here for fun, not hard-core research.
They go down well with a knob of butter. The only problem is you need two to make a sandwich.
It’s NOT a fail.
It is a FAILBLOG-FAIL.
And it makes Failblog absolutely N07 1337 for the whole time it’s on front page.

I’d buy that. If only to see my husband freak out when I bite a piece off, haha!
I agree with the bulk here: this is a WIN.
Isn’t that expensive ?

This is intentional. I saw these in the ‘gay district’ of France while on holiday.
Paris to be exactly. Here’s the link http://www.paris-gay.com/communs/detailsgb-det-378.html.
The bakery is called ‘the gay choc’. I don’t eat that kind of stuff being hetero, but this isn’t a fail.

I’m sorry, but that is EPIC Win.

Obviously intentional.
this is actually in a bakery located in the gay area of paris, called “le gay choc” so that’s why you have this shape!
and whatever the shape, their bread is really good!
Yes ANOTHER failblog fail. I’m sick of you people so quick to jump the gun on something you perceive is a mistake. Stop failing.
Insert creme filled joke here.
OM-NOM-NOM-NOM… WAIT!WTF?
That is not a FAIL, that is done on purpose.
Actually I’m a french canadian and its not ” magique baton ” but the right words for magic wangs ? Is baguette magique as its shown on the little piece of card board
Effectivement un bon petit fail de failblog, c’est Charlie Chaplin qui se pisserait dessus s’il pouvait encore =)
Indeed a failblog’s fail, Charlie Chaplin would pee on himself if he still could, just in order to illustrate the sweet paradox
Win. Complete and utter win.
Failblog fail. This is obviously intentional, and funny, but not a fail.
You know, these photos used to make a lot more sense when they were just on the “Things that are doing it” blog, and not on the fail blog. Now they have to try to stamp the label ‘fail’ or ‘win’ on everything, whether it fits or not. And then half the comments are arguing about it and it’s just… meh.

The shop is obviously french as the panel says. And french people are used to see “sexy” food like this. I remember have seen a pie like that with a banana and some other fruit. As well as candies, ice keepers, and so on…
