This morning I was at a friend's house. She's a Pakistani lady althouygh she has lived in Canada for the past sixteen years. Still, she sometimes prefers Pakistani or Indian make-up to what we get here in Canada. It's not unusual for products in India or Pakistan to have English on their labels since it is a fairly common language. Occasionally, though, mistakes in translation or usage happen.

This morning she showed me a tube of Nutragena hand cream she had received from Pakistan. If you had bought it here the tube would have said something like "removes dry flaky skin." Her tube proudly announced that it "reduced horniness."
