You want a malcompliance verdict?


« on: December 14, 2008, 09:02:13 PM »

Picked up a pretty unique Yugo stock that I've always enjoyed seeing every time I went into the local funshop. One day I decided I had to walk out with it and here it is...

Totally cool, someone else had one with a sticker a while back as well.

I love the wear and tear on that sticker, it imparts so much history. Wonder what the story is? I imagine the person that owned it had a serious crush on the model

I figured out what the text "sampon od jabuke" means, if you want to know, or don't know. I don't want say unless you want to know, I don't want to spoil anything.

That's a great stock you found, sir!

I'd like to know what it means if you are literally asking me that. I don't know if it means "if you want to know, or don't know. I don't want say unless you want to know, I don't want to spoil anything." or not.

Oh and here's a nice big blowup of the sticker... enjoy.



EDIT: accidentally moved the pic.

As far as I can tell, it's a label from a shampoo bottle. It says:

"Net Work" (apparently English)
"Products no. 15" (apparently English)
"šampon od jabuke" (Croatian) – "shampoo from apples"
"eko" (Croatian) – "eco" ("natural")
"UR" - I'm not sure what this stands for
"FS Bijeljina" (Croatian) – Bijeljina is a town in Bosnia/Herzegovina. I'm not sure what "FS" stands for, but presumably this shampoo is made or imported there.

I've searched the net to try to find out more about this label, so far no luck. You might want to try posting it on some Balkan-region forum, to see if anyone recognizes it. Bijeljina doesn't seem to be a large town (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijeljina), so if it's made/imported there, then perhaps someone from there knows more about it.

This is a great site for translation: http://translate.google.com , it may help you find more info. That's how I translated the label, I don't speak anything but English Sad

The Google spiders have cross-referenced the forums! Already! I asked about this on a Croatian message-board, and someone googled it back to this thread.

Here's the Croatian thread. (Google translated)

They're saying that the label is from UPI, a formerly large Yugoslavian distribution company (presumably like Johnson & Johnson), and that it doesn't exist anymore. Further, they say that this label is at least 17 years old. More info soon hopefully!

Alright well I registered with that forum and talked about the stock a little bit. I asked a few questions and we might find out more soon with the help of Google Translate!

Dude be careful, they will try to marry you so that they can get makeup and beauty products from the US! It happened to me!! Laughing Seriously, the thread runs like 12 pages now, all from my post last night. Run the whole page through Google translator and read back through, it's a hell of a riot, complete insanity. I love it!

PS - My handle on that forum is "HelpNeeded"

I saw everything and I guessed that you or a friend of yours was HelpNeeded. Very chaotic, it's hard to keep up especially when they use slang Laughing.

So far, I've seen an ALF sticker and a New Kids on the Block sticker on a Yugo.
