What do you think? I originally thought maybe a cheap import but this was in Tesco, and it has a UK address. Tin foil hat time?

Probably some shit like pop-tarts...

Edit:

Yup, pretty sure it's pop tarts from the World Food aisle. (USA)

When my motorbike was nicked in east London the police gave me one of their little report cards that they do to prove they've helped you.

It was written in about 3 languages, all sort of Urdu, Arabic or whatever in style. No English on it at all.

I posted about this around a year back. One of our national museums (The V&A museum of childhood) has everything written in both English and Arabic.

If it was a private museum I might understand it, but it will get something like 70-80% of its funding through the government, thereby through Johnny tax payer. It can't be of benefit to the country as a whole to translate everything into Arabic. Where is the impetus to learn English if that is the case?

I genuinely didn't know what the second most spoken language in the UK was: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/polish-is-second-most-spoken-language-in-england-as-census-reveals-140000-residents-cannot-speak-8472447.html

Polish at 1%.

All amounts to the same thing really.

It just means they can sell the same product in the same packaging in at least two separate markets.

I went to a local Asda a few years ago. I can't remember what I was looking for, but I was looking at the signs over the isles to try to find the right one.

I had to do a double take on one isle. I couldn't see the point of reserving a whole isle for furniture polish. It took a second look to realise the entire isle was for Polish immigrants. It seemed a bit odd, there was even a Polish brand of plain tinned plum tomatoes. I wonder what the difference is to other plum tomatoes?

What odds that supermarkets in Poland have an "English" isle?

So Kellogg's infidels have been persuaded to accept the Isis coin in order to cheer homesick Jihadi Jonnies. Yeah, that must be it.

I would expect there are alternate packs with European languages for other markets. Not many global products have ingredient lists in every language on the same label. How could they? This one is presumably saleable in all English-speaking and all Arabic-speaking markets.
