[Maracaibo, Venezuela] — I came upon this snack kiosk in La Chinita International Airport in Maracaibo, Venezuela a couple of years ago. After doing a double-take, I wondered whether this was an instance of a phrase that’s “lost in translation,” or whether the kiosk owner knew exactly what he was doing when naming the stand (I vote for the latter), creating a double-entendre kind of inside joke, that many travelers in the Spanish-speaking country wouldn’t get.
What do you think?
Did you go up and ask them for a big pecker? The biggest pecker that he had? :)
I really hope it’s the latter. ;)
Haha! Very funny. I’ve been collecting “lost in translation” photos for awhile now too.
I never have my camera with me when I come across funny things like this.
Interesting name for sure!
hilarious!
Ha Ha Good catch on the sign. Doesn’t really make me want a snack. Think I would have to wait till the next one.
