Come sell it here, we’re not afraid, Sudan Red, melamine, drainage oil, no stress [worries, problems]!
网易河北省保定市网友:
A piece of news concerning unsafe foods abroad, how rare and novel.
网易新加坡网友:
Every so often a deadly virus appears to test humanity’s ability to survive. Consider it a reaction to humanity’s destruction of the natural environment~
网易江苏省连云港市网友: (responding to above)
German people’s immune systems are so poor, truly the decline of imperialism, let’s applaud!
网易广东省东莞市网友:
Will there be a problem if [cucumbers] are inserted?
网易广东省深圳市网友:
Sell them to us, we’re already immune to everything.
网易广东省深圳市网友:
Those farmers must’ve came to China to study abroad! Either that or they have relatives in China…
网易陕西省西安市网友:
Maybe caused by not wearing condoms?
网易四川省成都市网友:
Europeans’ immune systems are indeed very poor. For Chinese people, this kind of cucumber, whether to eat or to use [for other purposes], is very safe.
网易安徽省合肥市网友:
If [these cucumbers] were brought to China, there wouldn’t be a problem. Chinese people are already used to peeling cucumbers first before eating them. How can one eat fruits and vegetables these days without first peeling them? Laowai still haven’t developed this habit, so let this be a lesson for them, and see if they’ll make the same mistake next time.
网易广东省深圳市网友:
I just want to know how they deal with incidents where people’s lives are endangered or lost. Does anyone know?
网易广东省东莞市网友:
German woman says: Sigh! These days, even cucumbers aren’t safe——–
网易江苏省南京市网友:
What’s regrettable is that even now they still forbid traditional Chinese medicine from entering their land, so serves them right.
网易上海市长宁区网友:
Maybe it was a cucumber used down there by a woman, first “eaten” by her “mouth” down there, and then eaten by her mouth up there, that’s definitely going to be contaminated. German experts are too useless/disappointing, not even knowing this cause/explanation, still analyzing this and analyzing that. Bring it here and let our leaders tell you what’s going on, our leaders really know how to use them [cucumbers].
网易广东省深圳市网友:
Do a check, could it have been imported from China…?
网易广东省广州市网友:
[This] is completely different. In China, it is chemicals and man-made additives in food products by unscrupulous businessmen, whereas abroad it is contamination, not people adding E. coli to food products, unless China’s unscrupulous businessmen were exported abroad, which would be the end of the world. If these unscrupulous businessmen of China were really exported abroad, then 2012 really is about to arrive.
Now that cucumbers have become dangerous… Personals @ chinaSMACK.
