Blue is the rarest color in nature

Why do Japanese products often have English writing when barely anyone there speaks it?

Blue is the color of shit posts.

>>13697093
Because it's a novelty. Japanese people will literally ask you to speak English to them even if they don't understand for some reason.

>>13697093
Why do white people get tattoos with Chinese characters?

>>13697093
Because they know weebs buy their products as well.

>>13697098
It's this way in a lot of countries, English is "cool" to hear and speak.

>>13697098
People do this to others who know other languages all the fuckin time.

Basmati rice is the worst rice

>>13697177
That's long grain not basmati

>>13697177
how wrong can one anon be?

>>13697089
Humans are hard wired to immediately associate blue foods with mold. Most mold have blue undertones and the bluer the food the more unappetizing it subconsciously feels.

>>13697091
Wrong. water is blue

>>13697213
It is not.

>>13697211
Why do I love blue cheese? Like, my dick literally gets hard and I have to consume it if I see it or else I will get headaches and panic attacks.

>>13697091
I guess we don't consider the sky part of nature?

>when barely anyone there speaks it?
Have you ever been to a big city in your life? Most big cities I've been to are at least bilingual.

Just like everywhere in the world, meet people with better education and they will probably be more eloquent in English than many natives from the US or UK.

>>13697229
The sky isn't blue, either.

>>13697237
Have you ever been to Japan in your life? It is extremely rare to find someone who speaks English.

>>13697243
I live in Japan, dude.

>>13697247
No you don't.

>>13697229
>I guess we don't consider the sky part of nature?
He meant blue is the rarest naturally occurring pigment. Instead of being an autistic nitpicker try figuring out what the person meant next time.

>>13697247
clearly not because he's right. 99% of Japanese people don't speak English.

ITT: nobody has a passport and everyone is an inbred flyover racist just like me

>>13697215
It actually is.

>>13697229
Over a hundred years of chemtrails and other chemicals and radiation being dumped into the sky colored it the unnatural shade of blue we see today.
Before then the sky was a pleasant warm glow from the sun.

>>13697218
glutamates, fat, salt, butyric acid. all things that give maximum flavor, really.

>>13697093
Most can read at least some english. They're taught english at every grade level.

>>13697177
Shit taste

>>13697093
Same reason why amerisharts put random japanese on their shit that nobody can read. For most brainless consoomers "foreign words" are fancy. You can only use this within certain limits though otherwise retarded reactionaries get butthurt and think it's a kind of genocide against the "natives"

>>13697264
Howbout you learn the difference between pigment and Rayleigh scattering and get back to me, champ.

>>13697178
You do know that basmati is a long grain rice, right?

>>13697089
blueberry flavor doesn't work well in most food items

>>13697254
I'm pretty sure he's the autistic nitpicker here, man. To anyone who isn't an autistic nitpicker the sky is blue and so is water.

>>13697324
water is blue because of rayleigh scattering you braindead pseud, try not parroting shit you don't understand from wikipedia

>>13697329
Yeah and yet there is a distinction just like your favourite dragon dildos

>>13697345
To anyone not an autist, the thread referring to the context of food is readily apparent.

>>13697345
tap water is clear, sea water is greenish, and some lakes near me are brown due to all the iron. you're wrong

>>13697346
And yet when you pull a bucket of water out, it is clear.

>>13697177
spotted the tastelet

>>13697269
There are paintings before that time period where the sky is depicted as blue you foil hat fool

>>13697591
Oh, sure, and who decides what painters paint, and persecuted them when they tried to revolt? That's right.

>>13697345
>I'm pretty sure he's the autistic nitpicker here, man. To anyone who isn't an autistic nitpicker the sky is blue and so is water.
The sky and water don't have pigmentation you retard. You were already told what the meaning was that the other anon was getting at. Stop being willfully ignorant.

>>13698130
Everybody knows that. And everybody also knows that pointing that out when someone says "the sky is blue" makes you a fucking autist.

>>13697293
I can get that at my local asian market, post newspaper from this month with timestamp.

>>13698151
>Y-You're the autist because I meant to point out the obvious!
Pretending to be retarded is basically the same thing as being retarded, anon.

>>13697213
Based retard

>>13697093
Tourism would be my guess. Very few people in Japan can speak passable english but they are educated in school and can at least read and pronounce the latin alphabet.

In small doses, yes. All but the blandest food chemicals are horrific at high concentrations.

I hate that these things take like 40 minutes to figure out how to microwave right

You live in Tokyo. That is like saying that US is full of spanish speakers because of LA.
Most Japs have pretty bad English becuase they only studied it in highschool and never plan to leave the island, so why bother?

>>13699248
>That is like saying that US is full of spanish speakers because of LA.
The original Mexican border was a fair bit deeper into modern USA than just LA, not to mention LA is far from the only city with immigrants. Poor example.

>>13699269
no one lived there then though. It was only part of mexico in so far as Spain had previously claimed it and then Mexico city took an imperial claim on all lands Spain previously had claimed

Mexico never really controlled it in any real way

>>13699269
Drumpftards literally btfo!

>>13699269
And most people in the USA don't live in that region.
A large population live in the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan area, but that doesn't make them representative of all of Japan

>>13697547
Not if the bucket is blue.

Naturally blue chips

>>13697089
I see blueberries everytime I go into the supermarket. That curry looks like poison though, ngl. Like some sort of cleaning product.

>>13699248
>Most Japs have pretty bad English
Now that is correct. I was pointing out that the other anons were incorrect
>barely anyone there speaks it
>99% of Japanese people don't speak English
Which is very different.

>>13698302
Why do Asian markets import olive oil from Japan? I can understand Pocky or curry, but this?

>>13697089
Blue light has the most energy so plants and animals have to use more energy to make blue. As a result it's not common

>>13697299
pic related is from a british company

>>13699312
This. Science btfo

>>13699538
>Blue light has the most energy so plants and animals have to use more energy to make blue.
Ha, plants and animals for the most part do not make light (besides some deep sea organisms that fluoresce). Blue is indeed the most energetic form of visible light, but what we see with stuff like this is reflected light, so we see the colors they do not absorb

So in the case of green plants they have molecules that absorb blue light and ones that absorb red and yellow light that it converts to usable energy in the chloroplast, so they look green. (but as leaves die the chloroplasts break down and other colors begin to dominate)

There is no real simple explanation for why blue is so uncommon in plants and animals, its probably just a fluke that not many easily evolveable pigments are blue, in fact most organisms that do appear blue only do so through refraction rather than pigments

When I say bad English, I mean it's so bad that they may as well not speak it. They could hardly stumble through a conversation, and barely give directions. But that is about it. Speaking english at a business level is a low bar for fluency, and that's pretty rare.
>barely anyone there speaks it
>99% of Japanese people don't speak English
This is true.

Once again, >>13697237 big [international] cities like Tokyo aren't representative of the rest of Japan.

>>13699823
>They could hardly stumble through a conversation, and barely give directions.
Only if you are talking about the older generations. Talk to the youngsters and many will at least understand you enough to help. Public workers also usually speak English.
>business level
Now you are expecting way too much. I would only expect that from Germany or Philippines.

>>13697089
I vaguely remember reading something that said blue coloured food is off putting. I think there was a study where people were given normal macaroni and macaroni with blue food dye in it and most people ate the blue one marginally less.

>>13699325
its fucking PURPLE

>>13697089
Because we associate blue with mold and decay. It doesn't look appetizing.

>>13699312

It very rarely appears naturally in food and you only really see it unless something is specifically dyed that color. Really serves no purpose unless its trying to appeal to children.

>>13697089
My favorite peruvian dessert. I used to eat this with my madre on the ranch. Simpler times

>>13697089
Just cook some red cabbage and squeeze the juices from it. Instant blue.

>>13697093
Japs have to learn like 50 different writing systems for their nonsense language, and romanji is one of them. they know what the letters are, might as well throw some english on there to make it look fancy.
