I don’t know if you have them in your country as well (I certainly don’t know any in Germany), but here in Japan some of the yogurts have motivational messages and quotes on their underside. So when you eat your yogurt in the morning you might get an motivational “Today will be a great day!” or maybe even a well-meant advise like “Eat more Apples, they are healthy”.
But today, sitting alone at home, on the sofa next to the window that looks out over the street and a pedestrian bridge, the following message was just a teensy bit creepy…
“There is certainly someone seeing/watching you” …
I suppose that was meant to be a “Don’t be sad if you feel alone, there’s certainly someone out there who already has you on his/her mind”, but I couldn’t help taking it literally.
And it is literally creepy.
Who wants this kind of messages on their yogurt?
That’s very odd message.^^
It means that someone will appreciate your kindness and effort which you don’t show off, I guess. Do you make sense? sorry for my poor English

That makes sense 🙂
Though I would not have read it as that. Maybe the message was just too short and therefore missing some (explanatory) parts ^^

Maybe they meant “見守ってる”

Definitely a possibility 🙂

We don’t have inspirational messages in our yogurt in America. Though we have it in some of our chocolate. The foil wrapped dove pieces.

Hm, I might be just as disconcerted if I read this message while indulging in chocolate ^^ (like, this is MY chocolate, leave me alone ;))

Hahaha. CREEPY. I remember yogurt ads (not lids, sadly) in France saying, “Le bonheur est dans le vrai” (“Happiness is in the truth”). Not as sinister, but also totally irrelevant to yogurt…

Absolutely, I am more convinced than ever that I don’t want my yogurt talking to me.
