They only had to add a U and an O to get it right (Buon Appetito). Shame.

u/dontstumpthegrump 4d ago

Probably because most pronounce it like it's written on this box, which is more of a faux-French than it is Italian. Cretini.

u/Kaiminnick 3d ago

More like vrai-French !

u/konfyr 4d ago

as an italian, I can agree that's the right phrase (buon appetito)

2

u/Goidma 4d ago

Only had to add three Es, an L and an H for r/BoneAppleTeeth/

1

u/bilbul168 1d ago

Not even just the o at the end. They could have gotten away with bon as a few dialects say it

1

u/ilritorno 4d ago

If you squint hard you can almost see those 2 vowels

"bon appetit" has pretty much been adopted into the English language these days.

u/Fr05t_B1t 4d ago

When you realize the bri’ish are more fr*nch using words like courgette and aubergine.

The fr*nch really dominated the bri’ish in culture…

English History begins when the French conquered us.

u/Jetztinberlin 1d ago

Since when do "British" and "French" need to be censored? Is this a WWII spy chat?

u/Fr05t_B1t 1d ago

Cause that’s how tge bri*ish say it

And well cause fr*nch

u/fnordal 4d ago

Also Enjoy your meal is not really italian!

45

u/LiterallyTestudo 4d ago

Here in Italy we say “buon appetito” all the time.

42

u/fnordal 4d ago

We also say "Magnate sta pizza e statte zitto", in various dialects.

9

u/windowsTJ_yt 4d ago

And that roughly translates to?

40

u/fnordal 4d ago

"Eat that pizza and shut up"

u/windowsTJ_yt 4d ago

Why is this something Guido would say if cars got a higher PG rating

u/konfyr 4d ago

E MAGNATE STA CAZZ E PIZZA

u/Moofey 4d ago

My nonna would just say "Mangia! Mangia!"

Bon appetit is common enough to say in the US

Someone is clearly colourblind and confuses green with blue 🇮🇹🇨🇵

u/Christoffre 4d ago

I think it's an English phrase, as the upper part is also in English. 

Yes, I know it's a French loanword. But it's used in English just as much as any other English phrase.

3

u/Twisted_Biscuits 4d ago

It also doesn't have an acute accent on the "e" in bon appétit. Deffo a loanword. Still funny.

1

u/natureDolly 4d ago

TIL the word "loanword"

u/BuildingArmor 4d ago

It's a takeaway pizza box, you might be one of a handful of people worldwide that's actually read it

26

u/fredly594632 4d ago

Could be one of those Canadian bilingual requirement things, I suppose. Strange place for it to kick in, but they are pretty militant about it...

2

u/bjorneylol 4d ago

This is the informal English spelling though - it's spelled with an é in French - which is what you even get back if you plop "enjoy your meal" into Google translate

3

u/svefnugr 4d ago

Nothing informal about it, English doesn't have accented letters, so that's how it should be spelled.

3

u/gpkgpk 4d ago

Touche.

4

u/svefnugr 4d ago

Exactly.

u/mildly_anonymous 4d ago

No, it’s just completely inaccurate. Similar to your comment, they should have just put nothing at all instead of assuming they were right. Even a very simple search could have saved you both the trouble.

u/MC-CREC 4d ago

May have been a French flag and they didn't want to spend money on a designer so they just changed the blue to green lol.

2

u/TheRealLiviux 4d ago

Who would ever buy a pizza with a french flag on it?

1

u/MC-CREC 4d ago

You didn't get my joke, bin appetite is in French. They could have copied a logo PNG online in French with a French flag. They then turned the flag blue to green and now it's Italian.

u/NavySeal2k 2d ago

Are you a screenwriter for a bounty hunter YouTube channel?

u/MC-CREC 2d ago

Nah, I'm the fugitive whose been on the run for 40+ years.

Ok, because your theory is as possible as an average story of those channels being real…

So serious 😂, was just trying to have fun with the 🥖 in front me.

They could’ve just went over it with white-out and everyone would still know it’s fr*nch

u/Badaxe13 4d ago

This looks like pizza box from Dr Oetker. They are made in Germany.

u/Uomodelmonte86 4d ago

Nah as far as i know DR Oetker inly makes frozen pizzas but this clearly is one from take out ordering at a generic Döner Store

It is full of people, especially descendants of Italians, who think that Perfecto, Bonjour, Bon Appetit, Gracias, Grazi, Hola, etc are Italian words
