Observations from a Canadian visiting New Zealand:

@sundogplanets As a French person, I can’t tell you how funny it is to read “big bite” and “breeding season” on the same poster.
@Sylvhem @sundogplanets careful. the big bird will big beak you with its big bite

If you like the signs, there are also some classic TV adverts you should check out.For example 'blazed', by the incomparable Taika Waititi:

More NZ signs that are extremely honest
@sundogplanets I'm still sad that DOC removed the platform with "do not jump from this platform" engraved in it from the side of the Pelorus River Bridge (near Nelson). Likely because the swimming hole beneath it filled up with gravel.
The Department of Conservation has the best signs.

Maybe I am just really tired (ok yeah I'm definitely really tired) but learning that the options for mustard in a NZ grocery store are "hot English" or "mild American" made me giggle uncontrollably in the middle of a grocery store aisle

@sundogplanets They used to stock "overpowering American" but people's sandwiches kept trolling shoppers on Twitter and trying to get all the other condiments in the fridge deported to Australia.

@sundogplanets Where is the winy mustard from France, NZ?!?

@sundogplanets New York style mustard is mild? I think not.
New York mustard, last I remember it, was Gulden's brown mustard with horseradish. You put it on your hot dog or pretzel from the cart on the street and you can *taste* it.
Midwestern or California mustard is the yellow tasteless American stuff.

Sooo… “Mustard” vs. “Turmeric coloured vinegar paste”?

@sundogplanets Us English are certainly hot.

@sundogplanets
Exhaustion really does make the simplest things incredibly funny.
“Hot English” and “Mild American” sound more like personality types than mustard!

First glance at the image, I thought it said 'Not English'.

@HannaEsmeralda_ @sundogplanets We have a few different brands of “Dijon” mustard in most shops as well

@sundogplanets The Heinz is in the "hot dog/yellow mustard" category here in the US and would be sitting on the shelf next to different brands of "Spicy Brown", "Dijon", "Stone Ground", "deli", etc., alongside boutique brands with all sorts of weird flavorings.
Coleman's is usually available for people who want that "hot English" taste. As far as I remember, the "hot" comes from horse radish, which would be an unwelcome surprise to most Americans.

@sundogplanets Try Pak'N'Save or Woolies rather than New World. There are more options out there.

@sundogplanets Napier definitely does not muck around with earthquake prep. There's a reason all the art deco is there.
