Tesco are proving to be stiff competition in the supermarket sector…
Tesco have been in the news for a number of different reasons in the last few days with the penis-shaped packaging on their Buttermilk causing quite a bit of a stir online.
The supermarket chain and male genitalia are linked together once again today after a rather hilarious translation fail at one of their shops in Wales.
The Tesco Express in Aberystwyth posted a sign above an ATM in the shop to let customers know that they could take cash out without paying a fee. They got that right in English but the Welsh translation actually promised people “Free Erections”.
Our friends at Her.ie figured that the phrase they were looking for was “codi arian heb dâl”, which translates to “lift money without fee”. In Welsh “codi” means lift while “codiad” means erection. Awkward.
Listen, we all get excited on pay day because it gives us the opportunity to live a life totally beyond our means for a week but we do not get erections, we can confirm that.
