sorry, not “engrish”. This sign IS done correctly, believe it or not! Yes To Carrots is a wonderful line of products actually

No, you’re right Lauren. “Yes To Carrots” is a skin care line whose main ingredient is carrots. This sign is correct, just somewhat confusing.

I work at RiteAid and we sell it there too.

This isn’t Engrish. This is a line that’s only sold at Walgreen’s right now, and Walgreen’s is a store based only in the U.S. XD

They probably made the sign when the Yes To Carrots body butter (a really thick, luxurious lotion) was free after rebate. I don’t see how it’s bad grammar or anything. o_O;;

Seriously.

Like they said…it’s from Walgreens, I used to work there. It’s not Engrish at all. Take it down!

Yes to Carrots is a skin and hair line, and has an intense moisturizer, which makes the “skin thristy” line make sense… this picture really isn’t engrish…

cute… typo on my part makes my comment look like engrish … oh well….lol

By: christine

christine — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 14:42:29 +0000

I agree.. not engrish just poorly grammar…. Yes to Carrots is a skin & hair care line. But .. I can see why someone would think its engrish

“yes to carrots” definitely is a skin care line. this isn’t engrish, it’s all correct

I’ve seen this sign at my local Walgreens. I had to do a double take.

Walgreens is full of fail. Period.

True, it’s when he comes home having forgotten to save you any beer or nachos that the honeymoon is over.

Yeah, its really expensive. I work at Walgreens where I’m very sad to say someone made this sign.

By: Becky

Becky — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 06:52:36 +0000

Unfortunately, most Walgreens signs are printed on that paper (they’re our “11×7′s”) and that font. The program we use to make signs has absolutely NO options, that’s basically all you get. There are other ways to make the signs, but it’s actually a lot of work for something that will probably only be up for a week or so. And you only get so many lines of text, hence the “short, sweet, to the point-ness” of it.

And Yes To Carrots is an amazing product, BTW.

Actually, Yes To Carrots is a beauty company. I have their shampoo & conditioner it rocks.

Um, this is taken at a walgreens, as I can see Hilary noticed as well. I too used to work there. However lame it is, it isn’t Engrish.

And Walgreens sucks.

I’m liking the fancy frame for the poorly executed advert.

By: Hilary

Hilary — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 18:47:57 +0000

Ahahaha, I was going to point out that it’s Walgreens. I used to work at one. Same paper, same font.. (Plus now that I look at the background, of course it’s Walgreens.)

Nonsense. There’s nothing on the ingredients panel that can’t be extracted (with sufficient effort) from materials found on Earth.

By: Dr.Jones

Dr.Jones — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:34:58 +0000

BTW, that’s totally a sign at Walgreens. They sell that horribly-named product there and their ads are on yellow signs. I have some better Walgreens-Engrish pictures on my phone

By: snuzzle

snuzzle — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:33:39 +0000

Yeah, there’s no Engrish here, just typical American poor grammar. “Yes to Carrots” is a decent skincare line. I dislike though, how they advertise being totally natural and they’re not.

coming home with beer and nachos is a job well done!

By: gladys

gladys — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:24:33 +0000

Agreed on both counts (and if you’ve never heard of the product, it actually IS pretty good Engrish)–I’m trying, though, to imagine the meeting with the marketing team where they made the final decision on the name.

I’m imagining a lot of bourbon and some really good weed had to be making the rounds, for them to come up with a name like this.

By: gladys

gladys — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:22:59 +0000

See, any guy I’ve dated, if I sent him to the store and put Yes to Carrots on the list, he would come home with…well, beer and nachos, most likely.

I really, REALLY need to rethink my dating pool.

I’ve tried it and i like it. Crap is expensive though.

I have never ever heard of Yes to Carrots. What a crappy product name though…

By: spifficial

spifficial — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:14:55 +0000

I got a sample of this stuff. I assume it’s a line of skin care like Burt’s Bees, but with carrots. Anyone try it?

By: nightlyeclipse

nightlyeclipse — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 14:52:11 +0000

I agree. Can you imagine sending your husband to the store and he sees Yes to Carrots on the list?

By: catgirl

catgirl — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 14:30:26 +0000

“Yes to Carrots” is a silly name for a product. If it’s not engrish, then it’s a product naming fail.

By: LEILA

LEILA — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:52:41 +0000

Maybe if they put the name of the product in italics, bold or even in quotes. Definitely poorly executed ad. lol

By: michaela D'Angelo

michaela D'Angelo — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:51:45 +0000

yeah, i agree with everyone else. “yes to carrots” is a skin care line. and just for future reference, there’s “yes to tomatoes” and “yes to cucumbers” also.

By: smacky

smacky — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 12:59:19 +0000

No to engrish, no to fail, yes to carrots, no to Nathan for not being more observant of what was likely on a nearby shelf. Yes to my cranky pants!

By: Sara

Yes to Carrots IS a skin care line. It’s a poor ad, but not Engrish…

By: kimkim

kimkim — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 12:22:42 +0000

I don’t get it either. It’s a good product though…
