Op-Expat

This is the worst case of Denglisch that I have ever seen! Check out the photo below. This is packaging from some tomatoes that I bought. It does in fact read “The fruit that really schmecks!” Ahaahahaaa.

For those of you who aren’t in the know, Denglisch is a portmanteau of the German words Deutsch and Englisch. Used in all German-speaking countries, it describes an influx of English, or pseudo-English, vocabulary into the German language. (Yes, I stole that sentence from Wikipedia).
