Lost in Translation

There is something really twisted when attempts to translate a language is lost in translation.  I recently found this in a Japanese store.

WTF?  Does the Japanese know something more about these two items?  What a fracked up correlation!  This reminds me of high school reading comprehension tests. 

Example -
Dog :: Food
Barry Manilow :: ?

A) songs
B) music
C) musician
D) botox
E) artichoke

The answer is.....

According to the Japanese, its frackin ARTICHOKE!  And not any type of 'choke but GLOBE artichokes.  (I would have guessed D).

Oy-to-the-mutha-frackin-Vay!
