Ummm,.. some help here?

Post by Garr_The_Sane » Fri May 07, 2004 10:05 pm

I come home and the tail I had order had arrived,.. so I open eth box and try it out,.. VERY nice :D , i'll post some pics later,..
but then I look in the box aagin and notice a small round tin,.. about 3 inches across and 1 inch deep,... with something writern on it in a foreign language,....... mystrious,.....

now, if this were a Lovecraft story it would contain some symbol of The Old Ones and would remind me of something I once read which would start me on a long chain of discoveries which would end with me uncovering the resting place of Cthulhu or something, and then going mad or dying,.....

but if this were one of those groovy TF fantasy stories I'd eat the chocolate and turn in to some anthro wolf and there would proberbly be alot sex involved somewhere along the lines,.. you know the sort of thing,..

OR if this were a comic book, I'd eat the chocolate and it would give me superpowers and i'd get to take over/save the world,.. or something,... then it would turn out that it was part of some government experiment and i'd have to fight off troops trying to capture me, or whatever,...

but saddly this is the real world,.... so I ran the text through a translator and it seems to claim that it's a kind of caffinated chocolate,..... which is great!,...... but still doesn't explain what it's doing in box with my tail!!!!


anyone got any ideas?

It's German. I recognize some of the words, but German I only taught me so much.

Pic 1 translation:

"Schafft Stength makes perky Chocokola! The fast energy source!"

Die Schokolade means the chocolate. Die Cola is translated as Cola. Apparently the name of the product is a pun, with "cola" being mispelled for coolness.

I only had to look up "Quelle", "munter," and "Kraft." That's something, right?

In any case, where did you order it from? Darn Germans, leaving their chocolate-flavored cola everywhere.

Edit: Odd, it claims to be a cola, but it mentions coffee in the second pic. Then again, I didn't read the entire context in which it was used.

i see the word "schnnele" on the front there, and if memory serves me right thats a type of fabric or style of weave or something, it's been a while since i heard it, but all chocolate has caffine, so unless it's like, a concentrated or added amount, thats nothing special :p

however, it's probably just a shipping mistake or it fell in or something. dunno, hell, maybe the company just decided to give you chocolate cause your cool, all i know is it's free, and its chocolate.

well, actually, was it sealed?

"Schell" means fast, actually. I had it on a test a few months ago. You have to add an "e" to the end of it in German because it describes a feminine noun.

Wait, where did your tail come from? Who made it?

Maybe the workers hauling around furry stuff are angry because you order so much, and have been putting poison in with every order, only to have been caught and have the poison taken out, until this time...

I think it's supposed to be a caffinated chocolate. Kinda like the stuff you can get in gas stations in the states... (at least here in Washington). It's been a while since I learned German & I don't get to speak w/ my German speaking family anymore, so if you dropped me in Berlin, I know that I could buy food, find a place to sleep, bathe & pee, but that's about it. I'm better at getting the meaning than giving a direct translation.

If I'm right, "Eine wohlschmeckende Spezialitat fur alle" pretty much means a great tasting specialty for all.

"die schnelle energiequelle" is something like the fast energizer. probably the equivalent to a quick pick me up.

"wertvolle naturprodukte wie fienster kakao, kaffee und das beste aus der kola-nuss sind die hauptbestandteile." sits somewhere around boasting that this all natural product is one of the best from that company/brand.

I believe that's pertty close to the meaning. ^_^
