You've started a great institution, Larry,

here's my Weird Wednesday:  Noodle Goo.  (Taken with my phone camera  
accidentally set to the lowest rez).

Product designers for the Japanese market often use English for the  
range of typesets available, and for the perceived cool international  
factor.  They don't care a jot, why should they, about how it reads to  
a native speaker.  The word 'good' is often shortened to 'goo' in  
Janglish.

If any LUGgers would like to sample some Noodle Goo, just mail me 600  
yen in a self addressed package.
