I love Engrish: Today's lolarious find

Today was grocery shopping day, so Sara and I headed to the top floor of our department store to the hyakuen (100 yen) store called Daiso. We got a few things, but I found the most amazing thing today I had to share.


(For the record, duck faces are okay when they're too lazy to retake the picture done as a ridiculous face.

I'm not going to bother with any of the Japanese, but according to the English these are "Joint Party Series Matching Card" with "Boy meets girl version" in wavy font on the top and "Are we in love each other by any chance!?" in a corner. On the back of the package, there are instructions. I'll read these to you first in case you're confused.

1. Write down on cards each applicable name of opposite sex.
2. When you finish writing cards, turn down the cards and announce them!
Who would write down each other's name?

OKAY GUYS, GOT THAT? So, here is what is actually written on these heart cards. These are triple spellchecked btw, just in case you're wondering if maybe some of these were typos.

♥ Who seems good cook...
♥ Who seems glamorous...
♥ Who seems wheedling person...
♥ Who seems coquetry person...
♥ Who seems likable as pet...
♥ Who seems soothing...
♥ Who seems suitable marriage partner
♥ Who seems suitable lover

Because when I'm looking for a partner they have to be a wheedling person.

Wheedling.
Wheedling.
Wheedling.
Wheedling.

WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE??? I can vaguely understand coquetry, and likable as pet makes sense despite the fact that I instantly thought of S&M. But "wheedling"? I have no fucking clue.

Also, here are the warnings on the back.

•Use it as a game only. •Take care not to go too far forcing someone to do something. It becomes the source of troubles. •Use in a timely fashion. •Keep away from fire •Don't cut your fingers with a piece of paper. •Don't get it wet. •Please note that this game doesn't always let boy meets girl

Thank you, Matchmaking Card. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know to not get paper wet, or to avoid paper cuts, or to not set the cards on fire. Also apparently these things expire. I also like that it actually says on the package not to go too far forcing someone to do something. You can do it a little, but not a lot. I really like how it urges you not to force someone to do something they don't want to, although I'm not sure what this would entail. I'm going to force you to seem soothing!!1 doesn't seem very threatening. But it is "the source of troubles" so you probably shouldn't do it anyway.

So that was my fabulous find at Daiso today.
