> The article linked to in the OP is misleading at best. The product in question is not labelled in “Engrish” in the sense of nonsensical or gratuitous English. It says “大人のクリームパイ” and does not sound funny. You might think to accuse “クリームパイ” of being gratuitous English, but this is a completely standard borrowing in contemporary Japanese.

Agreed. And on top of that, the word 大人 just means “grownup”. It does not mean “adult” in the sexual/pornographic sense.

And of course, the term “クリームパイ” is not a porn term in Japan either.
