I went on a deep dive. Theyāre actually beets. I tried to translate it but it didnāt work. And I found a cooking page with a video. Thatās how I found out theyāre beets. And on bottom of bag in Italian it says rape rosse which means red beets š«
Remember not everything is English outside of the US, UK, Canada etc.
In Italy you will obviously find Italian words, Rape doesn't even exist as a term for SA, in Italy the word for SA is Stupro, Rape is meant as Beetroot in the packaging, and pronounced differently obviously.
Hey it's the zionist piece of shit making zionist propaganda through humour to desentitize people about an specific culture so nobody cares if they massacre them
Have you seen the movie? Sacha can be a piece of shit but I don't think the movie ever does anything racist unless you consider "one guy is the arab shepard stereotype and he's considered weird by everyone including the other arab characters" to be racist.
You mean the movie where a jewish guy plays an arab stereotype and goes to America to be given life lessons by a stereotype of a progressive girl and then ends up murdering her because she's jewish? Yeah I vagely remember it though
Yeah I'm sure Zio Baron Coen is very profound with his comedies, but I'm sure it won you over by making a shitty critique of America while his money goes to bombing arab children.
Oddio non gli si puĆ² dare torto se si usa lāitalianissima parola āsnackā. Peraltro non cāĆØ scritto āSNACK ALLE RAPEā, cāĆØ scritto proprio āRAPE SNACKā come se fosse inglese.
In Italy, "snack" is an Anglicismāa cooler way of saying *merendine* (the Italian term), though the latter carries connotations more closely linked to childhood.
"Rape Snack" is better in Italyāsnappier and cooler.
Thatās true even if it sounds bad to an English speaker. But it doesn't matter; obviously, if they market it outside Italy, theyāll change the name.
Intanto ti consiglio di calmarti e non bestemmiare, sono italiano anche io e ti sto spiegando come funziona il marketing nella nostra nazione. Se non lo capisci ĆØ un problema esclusivamente tuo.
In the meantime, I suggest you calm down and stop swearing; Iām Italian too, and Iām explaining how marketing works in our country. If you donāt understand it, thatās entirely your problem.
āRape Snackā is used as the product name in big letters because it delivers the message quickly and it sounds ācoolerā, but itās literally an emulation of the english language. āSnackā is an anglicism, and chaining words one after the other to connect them does not work in italian language. Hence, if you were to refer to this product in a sentence you would say āsnack alle rapeā rather than ārape snackā like the package says.
Blaming the OP for making a connection with the english meaning is absurd. This is literally an italian word and an anglicism, chained together emulating the english language because itās ācoolā for marketing purposes.
As a mother tongue italian whoās fluent in english, Iād make the connection myself too and laugh if I saw this product.
Hate to inform you that not only English-speaking countries use the Alphabet. In Italy "rape" means "turnip" in English, in Netherlands "rapen" means "to pick up something" in English. Same goes for the English word "bill", which in Netherlands "bil" or "billen" means ass-cheek or -cheeks. Or the English word "brave" which is a positive trait in English, in Dutch "brave" means "goody-goody" or "stick in the mud", not a positive thing I mean. Lots of other languages have the same thing, German and Scandinavian countries use the word "fahrt" as highway-exit, but most English speakers chuckle at the word. One of the most dumb sounding words in English, to me as a Dutch guy, is the word "animal husbandry", which is the English word for "veeteelt" for fellow Dutch readers to chuckle about.
Every word on there except for ,,snack" is Italian. ,,Rape rosse" means beetroot. Rapa is singular, rape plural. It's even written at the bottom. It might not be ideal marketing, but it's simply another language.
This reminds me of my first day in Poland. Waiting to cross, a white van with some words on the side passes me, the one catching the eye as the biggest and clearer being 'DROGA'. Droga is the Italian word for 'drug' :)
Guys, I am Italian, and I read it the English way.. you can justify it with marketing and all, but still I read it in English, so.. to me it could be reworked, and it's absolutely something the marketing team should consider, yes.
If it can help you all sleep better, RAPE in Italian is read in a different way with RA spoke like the sane of the Egyptian Ra God, and Pe with the same initial sound of Pestilence. So it definitely sounds like you would spell it.
Just a heads up, delete everything after that Q in your link (?is= and ongoing), because it tracks your youtube account and shows it to anyone you give the link to, and it gives google more tracking to your user account on reddit/any account your share it on
Very unlikely, itās an Italian snack in an Italian supermarket, where most people wouldnāt really make that association unless someone pointed it out or they happened to use English regularly enough. Probably just to specify which kind of turnip it is.
I'm Italian but I'm so used to read everything in English I had the double take moment as well before I realized it's Rape (Italian word) as in Beetroot.
