It's a name I've invented for what I keep coming across in Germany. They seem to think that it is cool to use English words in advertising and I see it frequently on the side of vans etc. This is a lable from a bottle of Volvic water I can't even understand what it is even trying to say: You would think such a large company would seek help before printing all these lables. Any ideas?

Your feed is your social media feed. Refreshing it means loading it again to see what's new. It's a metaphor for drinking more water to refresh yourself. Quite cryptic, but presumably aimed at young Germans who speak English fluently

Thanks, - way beyond me though, but it sounds right. I've never heard of 'feed'.

I have a completely bilingual grandson who has just gained a first in Quantum chemistry at Munich Uni. - I'll try it on him.
