English: Fruitade - orange/lemon/lime drink Cheezunyuns - cheese and onion potato chips Stripteez - cut-off T-shirts Burndun - sunburn relief lotion Non-English: Orleli - orange/lemon/line drink Chons - cheese and onion potato chips Streez - cut-off T-shirts Bundun - sunburn relief lotion The first four are obviously made by combining English words or their homonyms. The second four use parts of English words but they are not recognizable as belonging to any particular word, i.e. they are ambiguous and are combined sounds but not recognizable as English words.
