Isn't that the Canadian version, avec l'emballage bilingue?!

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We have multi-lingual packaging here too. Where I’m from it’s usually quadrilingual, but it could have more or fewer.

Well at least the ones we usually get here say Kinder Überaschung

That word looks like "over-ashing", like a teenager overreacting to something their parents said by burning down the house.

It's actually "Überraschung", two r's. Overreacting by developing several rashes?

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

über - over, above

rasch - rash (adverb), quick, hasty

So a literal translation of Überraschung would be something like overrashness. Something that happens very quickly and unexpectedly.

That just means Canadians are better than Americans too then.

😮A joke, building on OP. No human is inherently better or worse than another.

There are US states who’d do well to become Canada’s 11th province.

And they can fuck off. America is completely incompatible with Canadian values. The Democratic party is so far right leaning that they're almost a 1:1 to the Canadian Conservative party. Combine that with the demographics and Canada would immediately be thrown into a rightwing spiral.

No thanks. If they want to join Canada they can emmigrate like anyone else.
