Sometimes You Have To Marvel at How Things are Lost in Translation in Israel

Iron Man dolls have been spotted being sold in Israeli supermarket chain Osher Ad. Except with a twist.

Osher Ad mainly caters to the Charedim (‘ultra Orthodox’ for want of a better term) who are likely not at all familiar with the Avengers or Iron Man. But somehow they have heard of Spiderman. Not sure why, but perhaps they’ve seen him around.
