I actually put in this reference sorta out of necessity:
See, I write all the dialogue and stuff in German first, then translate everything into English. But for the German terms on these labels ("hin" and "zurück"), I struggled to come up with an English translation that I could be sure is correct. And then I remembered the "there and back" part of the full title of the Hobbit, which in the German translation is indeed "hin und zurück"!
