‘Taiwan was engulfed in “salmon chaos” (鮭魚之亂) this week as more than 300 people legally changed their names to “salmon” (鮭魚) to take advantage of a promotion at a Taiwanese sushi chain.’

‘The Chinese word for salmon (鮭魚) is pronounced “gui yu.” People with a Chinese character in their name pronounced “gui” or “yu” got 10% off, people with two characters pronounced “gui” and “yu” got 50% off, and people with the exact same characters for salmon ate for free.’

‘Sushiro required a national ID card as evidence, but it turns out it’s extremely easy and cheap to legally change your name in Taiwan. It only costs ~$3 US ($80 NTD). This led dozens to rush out and change their names, like this person, who changed their name to “Salmon Liu.”

‘While many simply renamed themselves “Salmon,” others got more creative, such as “Whirlpool Naruto Salmon Xie” (謝渦鳴人鮭魚) and “Die (like salmon) Together Pan” (潘同鮭魚盡), punning on the Chinese idiom for “perish together” (同歸於盡). 5/’

‘One certain Mr. Chen decided to put a whole bunch of other food in his new name as well (in case of future promotions?), becoming the nearly untranslatable “陳愛台灣鮑鮪鮭魚松葉蟹海膽干貝龍蝦和牛肉美福華君品晶華希爾頓凱薩老爺.” ‘

‘Tragedy also struck for some Salmon Gang members, such as this medical student, who did not realize that Tawainese law only allows people to change their name three times ever. Out of name changes, he is stuck with his new name, “Salmon Dream Chang.” ‘
