I love signs that attempt to twist and tangle my tongue. And this is one of them.
Just for fun, I tried asking friends how at ease they are reading the coffee shop’s name. Most everyone told me to get lost hehehe! Try it on your Japanese, Chinese or Korean friends. The better if you try your Thai or Vietnamese friends! Even Pinoys do get a ‘tongueful’ on this!
This is a dainty little coffee shop in Butuan. And do you know how local drivers pronounce that name? “Trub-ro”!
Oh well, the “funtastic” signs of our times!
