山尺工卞工几呂 勹丹尸丹几ヨ己ヨ 工己 ヨ丹己と!
I saw a brand a while back, can't remember exactly what, something like coffee or chocolate, and they were using this fake Japanese for all their product names and merchandise labels.
It was certainly the most surefire way to instantly demonstrate to me they have no actual understanding of, or connection with, Japan or Japanese culture at all.
Literal cultural appropriation.
