ooooooh of course it’s cat food. I thought it was fake because of the mix of German and English and coming from Thailand – but I see this every day in grocery stores! *facepalm*

Alternatively, you could use shiny cat in sauce…

“in” because of this: shiny cat is the brand. german peepz sometimes use the word “sauce” and consider it to be german anyways. so “shiny cat in sauce” is just a correct german term. let alone the ridiculous fact that english words are used for a german sentence just to seem cooler.

In this case it’s just for the difference between chicken as a bird and chicken as food.

There is really no sense in doing this distinction, since we only use it in this particular case. =P

The “in” really does it. Emphasizing that Shiny Cat is the brand name and adding “with sauce” rather than “in sauce” would rob this of most amusement value Mind you, Shiny Cat sounds more like cat polish (some edible stuff to make cats shinier, not quickly rendered ineffective by the cat grooming itself?) than cat food.

Why does chicken need the -chen suffix here? Is that just the usual term for chicken in German? (My German never was very good and now I’ve forgotten most of it.)

Yum, yum, love that shiny cat in sauce…and if it’s not shiny ENOUGH I send it right back and scream obscenities at the chef. Of course I do. Sorry, can’t hear you, the voices are speaking again…

Yeah, us wacky Germans.

Tidy Cats kitty litter though? Perfectly acceptable.
Really, why aren’t the big containers with “Tidy Cats” printed on them funny?
They tend to make me grin just as much (especially the plastic containers that allow you to dispense tidy cats in precise quantities).
I guess it’s not Engrish if it’s done by native speakers?

Did you know that to reduce the risk of cutting yourself while shaving your face or legs, all you need to do is use lard instead of shaving cream?

think of a cat in a shiny cat suit being saucy like a cat would be

Awww *sad face* no strictly German letters in the text, so nobody will be asking about those here and this would make a funny discussion about languages.

I’m not happy, I’m going away now to shine my cat. (hmmm… shining my cat – this can be seen as a double-meaning. More happy now!)

Yup, I agree completely.
I’m German myself too (with 1/4 Hungarian thrown in), but well…
I gotta know, just look at the school I’m in.
For example a friend of mine showed us a t-shirt with “If humans think that animals can’t feel, then animals must feel that humans can’t think”, and just when we finished reading, the guy behind me went “Huh? What’s that mean?”.

yeah, good ole shiny cat, seen it before. dunno why germans always come up with completely retarded english product names that nobody has put any thought into (or translated to german boefore!).

wasn't there an engrish picture about the same product a couple of weeks ago? the package looks kind of familiar somehow

By: Yoshiya

Yoshiya — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:08:48 +0000

btw “Albert-Einstein-Str.” is the address. “Str.” is the abbreviation for “Straße” which means “Street”. This stuff is going to the H. von Gimborm limited liability company…
A company of cats eating shiny cat? This line of thought is getting more perverted the more I think about it…

That’s sooooo typical for German cat food names.
In this case it’s not the cat being eaten but the cat eating this stuff.

Err, I should say “with tuna and chicken”

By: Destin

Destin — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:42:38 +0000

For those two don’t know German, “mit thunfisch und huehnchen” means “with chicken and tuna”.

By: LaEscopeta

LaEscopeta — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:35:39 +0000

Can we assume the cat went into the sauce to be “mit thunfisch und huehnchen”? Is this why the cat is shiny, or was it shiny to begin with? And why is the shiny cat, the thunfisch and huehnchen all going to Albert Einstein Straus?

Questions, questions…

We know this is fake.
They don’t eat cats in Thailand.
Only the slow dogs.
