[1] The series has been translated into a number of languages, including Chinese (called Yǐyǐ hé Yāyā, simplified Chinese: 乙乙和丫丫), Hebrew,[2] and Latin (called Jippus et Jannica).

The series has become something of a popular icon of childhood and has inspired a large amount of merchandise.

One of the best known of these is Jip and Janneke Bubbelsap (Bubble Juice), which is a non-alcoholic carbonated lemonade sold in Champagne-style plastic bottles, popular at children's parties and for new year celebrations.

[citation needed] In recent years, Jip and Janneke has become part of an expression.

It is most often used in the context of politics, when politicians think they need to express their ideas in Jip and Janneke language in order to make the people understand what they are talking about.
