(Pseudo)Engrish: Reefer Container

Reefer Container

That word.  I do not think it means what you think it means.

Update: This truck appeared to be a delivery truck.   It was parked in front of a local beer distribution warehouse in Tokyo (near the Hamamatsucho Station).

Update: Neil points out that maybe it does mean what they think it means.  I refuse to let facts ruin my post.  Enlighten yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefer_(container)

Sadly, I don't think that's engrish, just industry jargon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefer_(container)
