Steve, the quality drops

Only the most jaded expat would name their water product Steve and place
such an outrageously poor pun on the bottle. I fail to believe that this a translation error. This is an act of unadulerated malice against some poor
reverse osmosis facility in Toul Kork.

Location: From a fruit juice/soda seller in Russian Market.
I’ve never seen it anywhere else.


Addendum (27/01/2005): I almost ran into a Steve Water delivery van on my motorbike today; so moved I was with my own incredulity. Obviously, it has a wider distribution than I first thought.

    We got this water in Juliana Hotel in Phnom Penh. I have been distributing a similar photo to yours to all my colleagues named, or working with, anyone called Steve!

    […] Steve’s Steakhouse There is something in me that wonders if the Steve from Steve’s Steakhouse and Steve from Steve Water are the same man. If so, I commend his entrepreneurial spirit and his Eulerian ability to name things after himself. I went for the Big Hamburger with a side of fries ($3.49 + service charge). It had certainly the biggest patty of fresh, juicy beef I’ve seen; a slightly sweet bun, Asian lettuce, tomato and raw onion. Steve’s serves condiments on the side: so you can run the gamut of HP Sauce, “Classic Yellow” mustard, tomato sauce, and probably prahok if the Imp of the Perverse had taken your senses for a joyride. You can literally order burger by the pound here, and while my heart says “yes”, my colon says “no”. […]

    Sorry, Steve Khmer. You wouldn’t happen to own Steve’s Steakhouse?

    […] That van, known as a tro-tro in Ghana, doubles as a local bus, making the sign all the more hilarious. Of course in foreign countries, Engrish is often used to hilarious effect. […]
