MYMAMA can beat YODADA
[Posted Saturday, September 26, 2026 9/26/26 8:45 am]
In my continuing fascination with language and languages, I found something really (and literally) small last week that caught my eye.
In a restaurant I spied a small salt packet which was labeled:
This caught my eye because YODADA is so much like YOMAMA that I thought it had to be a joke or at the least a funny mistake.
But it's not. Assuming it was Spanish because (a) SAL is Spanish for salt and (b) I live in Los Angeles and (3) upon closer inspection of the salt packet it was packaged in Mexico, I looked it up in the translator app. Sure enough, IODINE in Spanish is YODO, and YODADA in English is IODIZED.
As Mr. Spock would say, "Fascinating."
