Person who posted this obviously doesn’t know what a king cake is for.
Yeah, this is not translation fail. There is a tiny, plastic baby hidden inside the cake. Who ever finds it has to bring the cake he next year, and some times win a prize.
why is there baby in the cake if you cant eat it?
So you can’t see which piece it is in.
You almost got me until I looked at your name. Sneaky you.
No. He’s really serious. King Cakes have a little plastic baby inside. It’s tradition.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_cake
its a new orleans tradition for mardi gras.
Haha, I was working in outback Australia and some lovely hotel guests from New Orleans sent us a King cake from a New Orleans bakery [tasted great even after travelling halway across the world] and I found the baby in my piece…I was thinking “wtf, wtf, wtf? I hope this doesn’t mean I’ll have a baby in the near future” because, obviously I’d never seen/heard of a King cake. Thanks, Google, for clueing me in
GET IN MY BELLY!
Correct.
Research fail. King cakes are a thing.
That was not what they were saying the “fail” was.
But there is not real fail here, other than someone not knowing what they are talking about, and thinking there is a fail.
The other fail is that this made it to the front page.
i agree with you. THERES SUPPOSED TO BE A BABY IN IT! lolz
There is a non edible baby in the cake. This is not an incorrect label.
^ ^
It’s Mardi Gras time!!! For those that are not familiar with King Cakes, there is a plastic Baby somewhere inside there. Whoever gets it has to bring the cake to the next party.
(There are advantages to having lived in New Orleans.)
Or have visited New Orleans once in their life and been too the Mardi Gras museum
to*
or having ever taken a high school class that mentions Mardi Gras.
I don’t get it. King cake does include a non-edible baby.
Certainly not an “Engrish Funny” let alone a fail.
Engrish Funny Fail
L2Culture
noob
On a related note: I have been “Lucky” enough to find the baby three years in a row… crossing fingers to NOT make it four.
Did you find it? Or did everyone find it for you?
lol, three years running is slightly suspicious, and don’t know yet the party is tonight…
I’ll pile on. Person posting doesn’t have a clue.
Who ever posted this failed to realize their failure.. King Cakes are supposed to have a non-edible baby in them.
So THAT’S why the police were called to my bakery.
Bring back the edible baby
“non-edible” baby — as opposed to an edible baby?
Accurate description of the product. Where is the fail, “engrish” or otherwise?
Would it have escaped being a fail if it said, “non-edible plastic baby,” or “non-edible toy baby,” instead? Cuz that’s getting pretty darn nit-picky.
What’s next? Giving Hot Wheels a fail because it says it’s a ’60 Mustang instead of a “toy ’69 mustang?”
or giving hot wheels a fail because a ’60 Mustang doesn’t exist lol
See how that zero is right there next to the nine? Easy to hit one when you meant to hit the other.
Besides, there WAS a 1960 Mustang. They just called it the “Falcon”.
That’s like saying there was a 1900 Ford Focus, they just called it the “Model T” lol.
Oh wait, I meant 1909… There was no 1900 Ford Focus OR Model T, silly me… Stupid confusing keys on my computer’s piano! (You know, because keyboard and piano are synonymous terms, much like Ford Mustang and Ford Falcon)
LOL… fail
i lqtm’d
I’m with James… Bring Back The Edible Baby! Not that there ever was an edible baby in King Cake. I did have an overzealous cake cutter once who gave me a piece with the baby’s head and my friend a piece with the body… I almost choked with laughter.
Who got to bring the next cake?
It may be a real thing, but it’s still pretty fail-tastic to embed a non-edible item in food.
Anyone who buys one knows it’s there. It’s the whole point.
I’m sure they only put the warning there to fend off lawsuits.
I know that some places sell it with the Baby outside the cake which you then have to put in just so that they can’t be sued as easily.
so just done grab the piece with the giant baby shaped hole in it… gotcha
don’t*….
(typing fail there)
We got a king cake with a tiny ceramic adult Jesus in it one time. It would have broken teeth easily. Glad they’ve gone back to soft plastic babies…
No, not a failtastic. King Cakes are a Mardis Gras tradition among Cajuns and Creoles (yes, they are different). The baby is a traditional Mardis Gras Knick Knack, like beads. So no…the only fail-tastic Engrish is that they would have to put the label on the cake at all as anyone that knows poop from scoop about Mardis Gras would know this.
It’s Mardi Gras… Mr. Poop from scoop… not MardiS Gras
sorry, but had too.
They should have used instead: “non-edible baby shaped miniature toy”, to avoid related lame jokes and comments
The correct word is inedible. There is no such word as non-edible.
non-edible
English
Adjective
non-edible (comparative more non-edible, superlative most non-edible)
That cannot be eaten; not edible
wiktionary.com, Merriam-Webster, google, morewords.com, and dictionary.com
all disagree with you.
RESEARCH PWNAGE
Reblogged this on Accordingtoleanne's Blog.
No one cares.
I was born and raised in Baton Rouge, and go to school at LSU. My cousins were born and raised in Berlin, Germany, and have come over to celebrate Mardi Gras. They know what a King Cake is just as well as I do.
The poster is an idiot.
Correction: Didn’t read the Non-Edible part. Cake-Box Printer is an idiot.
negative ^^ read reply to CMG
OMG $74 an hour, if only there were some way to go to said website and pay them to tell me about it… if only..
Someone looks stupid…
It would be a fail if the non-edible baby WASN’T in the cake.
There are places that just put the baby in the box and have you place the baby in the cake to avoid lawsuits.
The fail is on the person who posted this. King Cakes generally have a small plastic baby inside and whoever gets it in their piece is then “King for the Day” and traditionally must provide the next King Cake.
If you know anything about Mardi Gras, you know exactly what king cake is. Fail.
I think is redundant, all babies are nonedible… Unless you are cannibal
We used to eat “babies” in my country… My country is well behind modern times… It is a feudal dominium… A wealthy, unscrupulous land owner mastered us… He made us pretend to eat “babies”, it was feces, actually… He used to call them “babies”… He had an infirm mind…
you’re from Alabama ??
Posting fail. All the king cakes have plastic babies. It’s a thing. Way to waste our time.
Heh…in Mexico there’s a similar thing, a rosca de reyes with little baby Jesus dolls, and whoever gets the doll has to bring tomales to a party in February.
Whoever finds the King Cake baby has to buy the next King Cake.
Not Engrish. Not a Fail. Why is this post still up? (see other comments re: King Cake)
The baby is suposed to be there
…once well established as the appointed ruler, an anonymous entourage of for-hire torturers preceded his welcoming caravan… Pain was in town, for the long run…
…Oh, what an unlawful carnage we had witnessed… The night was still at its birth niche… A cruel vision of the young praying for their demise… It will not be easily deleted from our memories… Pain is in town, for the long run…
… so it was Tuscaloosa?
Near Huntsville, actually
uncultured swine
RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE PLASTIC BABIES RABBLE!
I always wonder why some spammer’s posting about such a *wonderful* opportunity instead of taking advantage of it themselves…. /sarcasm
I don’t always ‘get’ the jokes on Fail, so I sort through the comments. Usually there’s someone who mentions what the joke is. Or isn’t, in this case. Thanks muchly to all who explained.
I saw what I thought was a packaging fail today, but I stopped for a couple minutes to actually *read* the labeling. Wasn’t a fail, just my misinterpretation. So I avoided looking like a fool.
This submitter should use the same caution.
Here is the edible baby they are referring to:
http://pictureisunrelated.memebase.com/2012/02/16/wtf-photos-videos-that-babys-creepy-enough-to-eat/
So how is King Cake legal to sell, but Kinder Eggs are still banned in the USA???
The “non-edible food product within a food product” is the reason Kinder Eggs are taken at the US border.
I know about King Cake and I live in Northern Ontario Canada. Definitely not even ‘ha’ worthy.
They don’t put the baby in the cake anymore for safety reasons. It’s just sitting in the middle of the box
So what’s the point of it then?
There is no such thing as a non-edible baby.
who ever made this is an idiot. and is probably some yokel for Nebraska.
Ugh…The fail is not the cake, but the fact that babies are even on the menu. Who normally eats human babies?(except cannibals.)
Is the fail supposed to be “non-edible”? Would it be inedible?
They don’t put the babies in the cake anymore..anyhow
