Gotta love the caption in screen grab No. 2: Always read the label! Horrifying thought: Maybe they are giving fair warning that's what it does taste like!

I barely speak spanish (curse words, most verbs in the present tense, and a few key nouns) and I can only imagine how the locals in Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco for the spanish speakers) talk about me after I've asked them directions or tried to rent a quad from them.

When I lived in Korea, we ESL folk would entertain ourselves for hours with stuff like this. Another favorite was mocking our students' awkward use of idioms. What can I say? I used to be kind of a bitch (Shut up, Quinn).

I always wondered though, why they couldn't get an actual native speaker to help them translate. It can't cost that much.
