The best part of waking up is fatly in your cup!

Does shining the skin include “polishing off” the missus?

Eat Breakfast YA! (I wonder why the YA is written in Latin letters in the Chinese part, when there is a perfectly fitting character 呀 for this very purpose).

As for how the translations came about:

It’s easy to see how “healthy weight loss” became “health reduce heavy”

胖 apparently means both “fat” and “easy and comfortable”, so I guess something like “easily/comfortably adds energy” became “vigor increase fatly”.

But the last one stumps me. It literally means “young shining skin”.

@alexmagnus: Stumped? Why? To me, that seems like a perfectly normal claim for such a product.

Health reduce… heavy! Vigor increase fatly!
So this is basically a bucket of saturated fat?
