Well, that's it. As if we need a reason to not eat Pringles.

Suit yourself, this is really a silly thing though.
Product labeling has a cost, if they have to carry two or three seperate labels for regions of the country or Canada etc. then the product cost will be higher. I agree that we should be an ENGLISH speaking country...but come on...

It's Nothing to bother with, seriesly...

Politicians in New York were distributing propaganda in Italian and Yiddish back in the 1910s and 1920s. There were whole streets with signs in German, Italian and Yiddish as well. What happened? The SECOND GENERATION just naturally preferred English.

I have also lived in a Colombian neighborhood in Miami and worked in a Mexican neighborhood in Chicago. In both cases, the parents spoke Spanish, while their children preferred English.

I find you "English is disappearing" folks to be good for a barrell of laughs.

You mean this one?

I'm still appalled that the Moen kitchen faucet we recently installed had no words of instruction in any language - just pictures!!!

That's ridiculous! Moen is well know for having an agenda that's in favor of naturalizing illegal Anasazi immigrants. The Anasazi, as you know, only speak and read cave paintings.

Having braille letters raised into an automated drive-up window beats this problem hands down!

But until they start paying off in invisible money, I'll have no problem with it.

Don't lump me in this.. I'm personally frustrated that our schools don't teach foreign languages any more.

Can you make the connection or not?

Not. That is, I refuse to believe that a Spanish ingredients list on a can of Pringles leads to forcing Americans to take their drivers' tests in French. The idea is silly.

Now, if you want to complain about ballots and official government documents being printed in a variety of languages, I am willing to listen. (I might even agree with you.)

My word. How evil. That a major international corporation might actually print something other than English on their products is just... just...

smart marketing.

Now, if they put ONLY Spanish on their products, that's another thing.

But did you hear that there's actually an evil satanic cult that runs Proctor & Gamble? For proof all you need to do is look at their logo.

I mean, 13 stars? You do the math. And you can clearly see 666 in his beard!

Oh, and did you know that Starburst candy stays soft because they include spider webs in the mix? Unfortunately they often include spider eggs, too. So if you start to get an itchy feeling in your stomach after eating a Starburts candy...

I saw a bottle of Bean-O with Spanish writing on the label.

Do you want me to boycott Bean-O?

Think reeeeeeeeeal hard before you answer.

Oh no!
Those danged Mexicans, and Central Americans, and South Americans, and even some devious Europeans might eat some pringlas and want to know what's in them. Blast the dirty dastards that provide it for them!

There is such a thing as looking for things to get upset about where none exist and I think you have just defined it for me...

< By the way, I speak Spanish. Knowing Spanish has not in any way impaired my use of English. If anything, it has helped me. Perhaps you should give it a try. >

It DOES allow or encourage those who don't speak English to not learn, but I'm with the others. This isn't a good battle.
