Ridiculous translations in Korea

In our travels around Korea we noticed how much Korean language was misinterpreted when translated to English. We thought these were humorous enough to take a picture and share.

We loved this poem or marketing statement by this cafe
I didn't know there were people in the world that did not know what a pretzel was
And of course some potty humor. "Spaghetti w/swimming crap" sounds delicious right?
