Asian food fans....
 

Have you ever gone to an Asian restaurant and seen the chopsticks in the red packaging? I'm not talking about the corrected ones, I'm talking about the ones made in China. I have only seen the "corrected" ones the last few years but I went to a Thai restaurant today and found the old, broken English ones. Here are the instructions quoted exactly from the package:

Welcome to Chinese Restaurant. Please try your Nice Chinese Food With Chopsticks the traditional and typical of Chinese glonous history and cultual.

Learn how to use your chopsticks

Tuk under tnurnb and held firmly

Add second chcostick hold it as you hold a pencil

Hold tirst chopstick in originai position move the second one up and down Now you can pick up anything:


Sounds like something right off of Babelfish

yeah welcome to the internet translation age :)

I dunno but even though babel fish has wonky translation but the spellings are still correct.

Here is what mine say, they are from about the year 2000 (bought a pack of 400 or so to try to learn how to use chopsticks, after breaking about half I decided to give up). I keep them in my cabinet regardless in hopes I may one day learn to use them. I typed up everything identical to what is on the package (grammar/punctuation errors kept intact):

“Welcome to Chinese Restaurant. Please try your nice Chinese food with chopsticks, the traditional and typical of Chinese glorious history . And culture.

PRODUCT OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

Learn how to use your chopsticks

Tuck under thumb and hold firmly

Add second chopstick hold it as you hold a pencil.

Hold first chopstick in original position move the second one up and down. Now you can pick up anything”

I didn’t see any spelling errors on these, guess these are newer than the ones you found (which is scary LOL).
