    The German name for the game Hungry Hungry Hippos is "Hippo Flip", which is stupid.

    If you're going to use an English name, why change it, especially to something that doesn't alliterate anymore?

    What's even more stupid is that the German for a Hippo is Flusspferd [lit. River Horse]. So you could have called it "Flusspferd Flip" - that's a way better name, and actually #German! Such a missed opportunity.
