→What is ミックスオレ (Lemonade)?
| Line 25: | Line 25: | ||
A quick search for the Japanese term came up with this link, which handily not only proves my argument but also links it with Pokemon, since this particular "Mix au lait" is from the Pokemon Centre. (It's the glass on the left.) Incidentally, the difference between "mix" and "mixed" is not all that important here. Japanese loan words rarely reflect the proper English tense, so it is quite reasonable to change the English translation to make for better English. I also found quite a few references around the net theorising that ミックスオレ is an abbreviation, with another word implied in front of it. (Notably http://bulo.hjenglish.com/question/31007/ .) So it likely is short for "mixed fruit au lait" or something like that.

:''Mix'' is French for mixture, it isn't mistensed. And ミックスオレ in Romaji (a.k.a. in the Roman alphabet) is ''Mikkusuore'', that can is simply written in French. So really it depends on what ''Mikkusuore'' actually means, not what that can says. But I don't speak Japanese.
