    "VARNING: VARM FYLLNING"

    it's from the back of a paper container for a mcdonald's apple pie I bought in prague in 1994.

    it's not czech. it's not english.

    I scanned it in today. along with some photos of me with clothes on. in case I ever need them handy.

    Looks like Dutch...or Pidgin English?

By cyst on Tuesday, December 7, 1999 - 11:05 pm:

    it's not dutch.

    it's just fucking weird.

By droopy on Tuesday, December 7, 1999 - 11:39 pm:

    it's swedish.

By mistaswine on Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - 09:33 am:

    it's "warning: warm filling" in a cheap german accent.

By droopy on Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - 11:52 am:

    swedish.

    no shit.

By Mk on Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - 12:35 pm:

    I'd såy Swedish or Dånish no?

By MapleLeaf on Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - 01:20 pm:

    How about Norwegian or Finnish?

By droop on Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - 01:52 pm:

    i'm working off these cookbooks i have. one is danish and one is swedish - anything filled or stuffed in the swedish book is "med fyllning", in the danish one it's "fyldte". (with filling or filled).

    it's possible it could also be danish or norwegian, but my money's on swedish. it wouldn't be finnish - isn't that in a different language group?

By Mike on Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - 02:02 pm:

    Next question is what are Swedish pie covers and doing in Czechoslovakia?

By droopy on Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - 02:47 pm:

    czech republic.

    it's probably too much trouble to make covers with "warning warm filling" in czech - how many mcdonald's could there possibly be there? they probably have pie covers and boxes and holders in every language, excess stock from western europe.

    is my life so meaningless that this fascinates me?

By Mike on Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - 03:03 pm:

    Czech Rep formed in 1993 - my bad - thanks

By Sarah on Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - 04:58 pm:


    Mike? who is this Mike...


By Murkas on Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - 07:22 pm:

    Finnish is in the Finno-Ugrian family, along with Estonian, Karelian, and Magyar (Hungarian).

By cyst on Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - 08:12 pm:

    when I moved there at the start of 1994, there were three mcdonald's restaurants in prague. when I left at the end of the year, there were six.

    the tray mats were always in czech.

    I think it belong to the language of People Park of Republic. well it says, "warning Warm Filling"
