I don't know if this is an Amazon anomaly or a Chinese anomaly, but it seems the brand names are not like they used to be. I remember Chinese brand names usually being like verbal junk food; Happy Sunrise, Pretty Tree, Gentle Flower, Endless Happiness, Graceful Bird, Strong Family, Etc. But the brands on Amazon now are more and more like just a random string of letters. Smarkl, Grobrty, Aayutug, Frbrtucal. It's like they don't realize the letters have any significance and are just shooting for a unique identifier. They're treating letters like octets in an IP address; as long as nobody else is using this specific sequence, it's as good as any other. This must be the equivalent of Americans getting random Japanese runes tattooed on themselves only to find out later their arm proudly proclaiming "salted pork" or even worse, nothing at all.
Anyone else notice this? I don't see any reason for it. Google translate is pretty good; I just read a translated Chinese article and it was more intelligible than any chinglish instruction manual I've ever read. All they have to do is decide on a brand name in Chinese, put it in Google, and use the sequence of letters that Google returns. Why all the wacky names?
