German Marketing Using English

Monday, November 30th, 2009

When Germans use English for marketing products, typos might slip through such as in the following candy product.

Mini fruties a.k.a mini fruits

mini fruits a.k.a. mini fruties

Sugarland, a jelly brand, sells this big bag full of little ones with various English names such as trolls, happy bears, etc. But mini fruties was nowhere to be found in leo dictionary. The bag itself is to be found at Lidl stores in Germany.

It’s a  yummy gummy, nevertheless.
