Photo question #50

Here is a doozy that I found this afternoon at the shop. 

It is Almond Poodle Blend. Maple Flavoured.

That about takes the cake in terms of bad English. I've no idea what it is. I'm planning to ask some Japanese friends on Wednesday, but in the meantime, do you want to have a guess?

It's almond powder. The "poodle" is from the french word for powder (poudre), but I guess it got a bit mispronounced before it was written down in katakana (big surprise)!

Okay, so Sue no doubt knows the truth. But it was fun to brainstorm for a moment.

A large vat of poodles from which is extracted...

Or a type of almond hair conditioner for frizzy hair...

Or a carpet freshener for poodle accidents in a maple scent....

Ah, the possibilities are delightful.
