‘Stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain’ Toronto sex store receives letters from U.S. Department of War

多伦多情趣用品店收到美国战争部来信:别再把肛塞发到巴林的美国海军基地了

Not one but two letters were sent from the Pentagon to a Toronto-based sex toy store, found inside the boxes of returned adult items that had somehow made their way to a U.S naval base in Bahrain.

美国五角大楼先后向多伦多一家情趣用品店寄出信函,不是一封,而是两封。这些物品是在被退回的成人用品包裹里发现的,不知怎么被寄到了巴林的美国海军基地。

The letters were received over the span of about a month over the summer, Bonjibon co-founder Grace Bennett recalled, amusedly.

邦吉邦联合创始人格蕾丝·贝内特笑谈,这些信件是在夏季大约一个月内陆续收到的。

“We didn’t even know it (the product) was going to Bahrain until it came back to us months later, and it just kind of unraveled this whole … hilarious moment,” the 34-year-old said in an interview with CTV News Toronto.

这位 34 岁的受访者告诉多伦多 CTV 新闻:"几个月后商品退回时,我们才知道它(曾)发往巴林,整件事发展得相当...令人捧腹。"

The online sexual wellness store shipped worldwide when they first launched in 2019, but Bennett says they now mostly service Canada, the United States, South America, Europe and Asia due to various laws and regulations about what items can be imported to countries—including Bahrain.

这家在线情趣用品店 2019 年开业时曾面向全球发货,但贝内特表示,由于包括巴林在内的各国对进口商品的法规限制,目前业务主要覆盖加拿大、美国、南美、欧洲和亚洲地区。
