*KILL JOY*
spearmint gum…
*ANTI-KILL-JOY*
Misspelling of Spam.
With what we’ve seen on this site, it could be a misspelling of almost anything! Spear, spare, pears, smear, supreme…
Knowing the product, it’s “Extra fresh spearmint”, “Extra” being a brand of chewing gum.
“Extra” is also a very common English word, often found around the house, and is an acceptable modifier of the word, “fresh.” Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions!!! Do you think extra virgin olive oil is made by the gum manufacturer?
No, of course not. It’s made by virgins.
No, silly, it’s made FROM virgins! That’s why it’s so expensive, since virgins are getting hard to find.
Hmm…. I always thought Olive Oyl was “made” by Popeye.
Other way around dude
Popeye was made by Olive Oyl? Then she’s his mother? Gross, dude!!!
Oilent Green is people!
Aaargh!When does DPH’s shift start?
It’s a Norwegian brand of chewing gum. Nidar AS is the producer. No assumptions there.
It’s not an assumption if the product is pictured right below the sign and it’s obviously the gum.
it’s not a misspelling. It’s a truncation.
Or, if it was done by a person who was intoxicated and didn’t notice, it could be a drunkation.
If it really was a, ahem, “spearm” dispenser, it could be a spunkation. Yerch.
If the person printing it went into a sudden, deep depression and couldn’t finish, it would be a funkation.
Sadly, it doesn’t seem to be any kind of Asian. I googled “nidar”: this must be from Norway. Would that make it a trunkwegian?
Nor way!
I haven’t heard that Nidar has started selling chewing gum with Spam flavour. Sounds yummy, though.
ou never would have figured that out if you couldn’t see the gum in the background. Also. this belongs on fail not engrish.
lol i no sum1 hoo needs sum o’ tha stuff
This isn’t an EngRish. It’s just a shortened name on a price tag. If anything, it would be a FAIL.
Hmmm, expensive gum…
??? That would depend on the currency?
Its the currency, it would, if one calculates with the average household income be like an American paying 50 cents for it.
Agreed. You can even see a pack of Extra gum at the bottom of the photo. Engrish FAIL.
Extra fresh? Seems to me that if your spearm get too fresh, it might be a real turn off for the egg.
I think the egg might accept a spearm as long as it’s Wrigley
But some eggs hold out for being sent into Orbit.
Not if they’re feeling PK – they might get space sickness.
But of course eggs that become identical twins only accept spearm of the Doublemint brand.

No, we chew. That’s what gum is for!
You obviously went to a lot of trouble to convey an absolutely banal (look it up, since I’m sure it’s outside your usual monosyllabic vocabulary) message, so I hate to have to tell you this, but your “K” needs a lot of work.
Whoops. Missed b. I meant to split up c but ended up not doing it. Ah well, not like anyone is gonna read this anyhow.
Spearment? Is that a new type of gum that increases your mental capacity? Not only are people going to read what you wrote, you can bet they will offer a critical editor’s eye as well! Our unofficial motto is we gather our LOLZ where we may!
I wonder why people without a weird sense of humour come to this site. You can rant to your heart’s content on numerous other sites.
I certainly have a weird sense of humor, and I have to agree this one isn’t particularly funny, for reasons already nicely pointed out in a flawed alphabetic list above.
I come here to have fun, and I’m not going to blame anyone else if I don’t have any.
Yes, as the list owner says herself (I think it’s a she), “Remain clam.” This is a space for relaxed but lively and often far-out fun. We prefer attitudes (especially pomposity) checked at the door and we are not fussy about whether something is “technically Engrish” or not. As I have stated many times, my personal sentiment is if it LOLZ, it ROLLZ! If the pic doesn’t make me laugh, almost always the banter about it will.
Causes spearment to eggs!
That would also make me reluctant to go through Chuck’s Rubbish! Might get stuck…
Yeah, it’s dangerous to handle Chuck’s junk.
I never saw a movie that had Chuck sailing in a junk! Of course, I’m not a big fan, although I will confess to having watched a few episodes of his TV show.
Chuck Norris jumps rope with an 8 foot King Cobra!
Wow! That’s one well-trained snake! Do they take turns, or do it together?
The snakes are too terrified to do anything except get it right first time.
Wonder what they do when he says, “Drop and give me ten push ups.”
They do it.
I agree. There’s no way this belongs on engrishfunny. On a site where pretty much any spelling/grammar mishap can be displayed for the enjoyment of all, the fact that something this lame gets through is just kinda sad.
And to the critics of this criticism, I’m all for “gathering the LOLZ where we may,” but this is pic is so obviously not what the submitter is making it out to be that I’m not sure how anyone could even still get a chuckle out of it.
My suggestion is that if you think something is lame and you don’t want to play with it, don’t. Obviously it’s easier, even for wits as sharp as ours, to make hilarious things that are already so! I would look at this site just for the pics. But I wouldn’t spend 10% as much time here if I didn’t get lots more out our playing with it. And I’ve seen some pretty funny stuff come out of things that weren’t terribly funny to begin with. And as someone who has actually studied humor in a college class (a 600-level class, mind you), I know that humor is at least as mysterious as love, and just as you may be madly in love with someone who seems ordinary or even obnoxious to someone else, many things or people that other people find hilarious may do nothing for you, and that doesn’t mean that either of you are stupid.
XD fail!

Generally, I agree. I also believe that people should be able to say what they want to say, and not have people beetch at them for it (whether it’s positive, negative, or contradictory).
I am rigorous in my defense of free speech. But the point of this site, as I understand it, is for the purpose of humor. Cranky posts insulting the person taking the pic, the person who posted the pic, and the people who play with the pic do not help the cause of humor. There are plenty of sites to discuss issues of great political and social import, and a fringe benefit of this site is that truly we have some very intelligent, informed people here and we can actually learn some things. But the main purpose is the laughs, and cranky posts that deride the material and put down those who are laughing (e.g., “unless you’re in middle school”) are a real buzz kill. That’s all I’m saying. If you don’t find an entry funny, wait for the next one, or go back to one you found funny and see if you can put up something else amusing that you missed. My response to the put-down posts was not to put down the people doing it, but just to urge them not to do it. As I noted, humor is very elusive and subjective, and anyone trying to make funny stuff is going to miss and be lame from time to time. Rather than b!tch about these, make positive and funny comments about the ones you like, and ignore the ones you don’t. That’s really a more effective form of feedback than b!tching about the submission, which someone who clearly thought was funny went to some trouble to put up.
Spearm always fresh. Never bother with not-fresh spearm. As for Engrish Funny person, I have seen him.
Long may he pleasure us with uploading!
Amen!
The issue here, is that although it is not Engrish, as we have discovered, due to the pack of Extra gum being right underneath, the gum says Eucalyptus sugarfree gum.
Where are they making that flavor? Certainly not here in Australia.
They do make it in Australia. They only market it to koalas. And, seeing that its sugarfree, it’s for fat or diabetic koalas.
They make it in Norway. Indeed marketed towards fat loaded koalas, plenty of ‘em here.
IF makes lolz THEN giggle
ELSE just go away and let us get on with the lolz
I think it Is SORTA funny, but you’re right, it’s not an Engrish.
LOL this is hilarious!
what’s extra spearmint gum selling at ten bucks for though?
Those pandas are loaded! They can afford it.
Its Norwegian currency, 1 US = 6-7 Norwegian kroner
THIS NEEDS MORE MONKEY!
oh f**k, just saw that t’was engrish, not fail………… sry, my bad
lol, that is written in every rema 1000-store in norway.
Proofreading fail accentuated by character limit– not that wierd, actually
Speaking of proofreading fails, it’s w-e-i-r-d. One of the exceptions to the “i before e” rule.
Given the fact that there have been, at this point, 71 comments on this, only a few of which were from people complaining that this item shouldn’t be here, I would say it is quite clear that quite a few people had some fun with it. IMHO, case closed.
Then you probably wouldn’t go for the semen bread.
Is that anything like mountain oysters?
Someone gave some of those to my father without telling him what they were ’till he started eating them. He went “PTOOOOEEEY” too.
I can confirm, ours are spelt like this at work. They only have so many characters to name the item.
Britney Spearms loves this gum!
Funny how adding an “a” drains all the funniness out of it…
