Bob Dylan Potato Chips, Anyone?: What They’re Snacking on in China

They sound tasty. The rub? You have to trav­el to Chi­na to get them.

And now a ques­tion for any read­ers flu­ent in Chi­nese. Can you trans­late the text on the bag? We would be curi­ous to know what’s the pitch for these chips. Feel free to put any trans­la­tions in com­ments sec­tion below.

    Accord­ing to Google Trans­late: “Dylan poet­ry col­lec­tion”.

  • vkubicki says:

    What is writ­ten is:

    Bob Dylan * The poem / song of [Bob Dylan]

    Then there is the Eng­lish text: A Hard Rain’s A‑Gonna FAll

    Fol­lowed by the trans­la­tion of “A Hard Rain’s A‑Gonna FAll” below.

    So… no real pitch :).

    A Chi­nese friend said he’s pret­ty sure the bag has the song lyrics, in Chi­nese trans­la­tion, print­ed on the inside of the bag. Numer­ous peo­ple were invit­ed to par­tic­i­pate in car­ry­ing out the trans­la­tions.

  • Ed says:

    If my friend under­stands the web­site cor­rect­ly, the entire Dylan col­lec­tion is about $30, and it seems the bags don’t con­tain any chips, but instead just the text itself.

    Lyrics book inside, no chips, sor­ry pals. Eight vol­umes packed in eight dif­fer­ent “fla­vors”. I know ’cause I’m the one trans­lat­ed Blonde on Blonde.
