Sweet Balls


It always brings a smile to my face when I read bad translations.  Well unless I am trying to get actual information.  If it is just a menu or shop name and the translation from Italian to English is a bit off or very literal it can be the funniest thing in the world.  Like this shop.  A Gelateria-- Sweet Balls!  Scoops of ice cream are indeed sweet and ball shaped, however naming your shop Sweet Balls may not be the best idea. Made me laugh for a good while and still brings a smile to my face so maybe I should thank them.  I think I even have my new favorite cuss word (not really cussing but fun to say when trying to edit out bad words)  Here is a photo so you know what I saw was real!  I hope it brightens your day as well!  Ciao!
