Good for you, Tyler! You waited until it was on sale before you bought some!

'twas an exercise in patience, believe me! 
That picture puts a whole new meaning to “reconstituted”…
I prefer my Black Beans whole…
OK, I see the sign for black bean doodoo, but I never buy anything until I can at least see the product or a photo of it.
Give 'em time; the digestive process takes a while…
“Beans, beans, good for your…”… um… doodoo?
… oh, right, hadn’t thought about that.

Yes, it is very interesting what words one comes up with when trying to phonetically spell out a word in English normally written in another language’s alphabet.
I’m sure they find amusement with what native born English speakers do in their language as well.
In a similar vein, when I was first learning American Sign Language I had no idea how similar the signs for words like “especially”, “icecream” and “baptism” were to the signs for various acts of sex.
Thanks, Hyldemoer. I was hoping someone would clear the air.
The original picture is okay for a bit of a chuckle, but it leaves me puzzled as to the original intended meaning. Does anyone have any idea what Japanese word “doodoo” was intended to represent or what it translates to?

Several times I’ve been asked by friends who are deaf if its customary to say “excuse me” if one passes gas while while using a public toilet (where each toilet has its own separate stall).
They knew that people normally said “excuse me” when they did that because they could smell it and then later see people’s lips moving forming those words.
In a public washroom where everyone on a toilet is behind a door you can’t see what people are saying to know what is customary to say, if anything.
I was trying to figure that out as well. But, this example’s not
Japanese. I think that’s Korean writing at the top of the sign. I
wonder if it’s a problem with the Korean word having both those
meanings, and the translator not knowing which English word to
use, or maybe even some GI during the war saying, “This black
bean curd looks like doodoo,” and people thinking for decades
that was the proper English word for it…
Apparantly, this is not an isolated incident:
One of the comments from the linked blog (click the pic) says that
it’s probably supposed to be “Dudu” or “Duyu”, which means soy
milk in Korean. An unfortunate choice of phonetic spelling, to be
sure… The French on the bottle supports that.
Don’t know about the orgin of “doodoo” as a name but
-
That sign is in Korean (ovals/circles are the giveaway - neither Japanese or Chinese writing normally have them)
-
Korean writing is phonetic (I think it’s one character per syllable). I’ve thought seriously about learning to read it (not the language, but the writing) just so I’d be able read street names when I’m on business trips.
Do we have any Korean speakers on the board who can tell us if “doodoo” is the original Korean word?
Nahhh. The best thing to do is make some comment like “Man, what died?” and thus transfer the blame to the guy in the stall next to you.
Toilets are like Vegas…what happens there should stay there…
I’ve never driven a Vega. I’m not sure I would want to now …
