Side-side

Sent by Heleen (the Netherlands)

She sent this box unopened (Heleen's style, I mean) to attract my attention to how many languages they use in the side-side. Why they use these and not those languages in the different countries remains a mystery for me. In this box bought in the Netherlands you can read all these words for portions: portionen, portions, porties, portioner, porsjoner, porzioni, μεριδεσ and puntjes.

See also the different faces of VQR: eye-opened, eye-closed, blinking... 


Trilingual!

Sent by Karin (Sweden)

I'm really happy to add a new country to the collection, and a new name: Den Skrattande Kon.

If I was amazed by that bilingual box... This is trilingual! Swedish, Danish and the original name in French. How many names are they able to write in a VQR box?
