Product ideas that shoud have had more thought.

A truck went by on the highway behind my house this morning and got me thinking that people really should put more thought behind what they are saying with their product. Be it a slogan, product name, whatever.



Is this an admonition? A product that can improve my relationship? What?

Then there's Coors Light Iced Tea:



Are these people unfamiliar with acronyms? They really should put more thought into what they're putting out there. There's always deviant asshats like myself that their minds just go there.

I will take my money elsewhere me thinks...

The one that gets me is the chocolate ice cream bars specifically marketed to women and they chose the name MAGNUM, lol! All I can think of when I see that in the frozen case is............well you know.

And that's without considering what names will sound like in other languages.
France has, or used to have (this is a memory from 1969), a soft drink sold under the brand name Pschit. It left a sherbet taste in the mouth.

I remember a Jeffrey giraffe inflatable that was a bit phallic.

Fort Wayne has a pro baseball team called the tin caps as an homage to Jonny appleseed. Their mascot is a man with a pot on his head,,
Basically they are the fort wayne pot heads.

But this is also the city that considered building the harry baals "pronounced balls" center a few years ago.

In that fine product I would worry about the natural flavor rather than the artificial..

Cock soup and pussy chips???

# yeah

Pussy soup and cock chips is better though

There is Realtor around my parts named Jim Swindle....

I had an Chinese guy interning for me one year. He walks up and introduced himself... his name was Long Dong. Dead serious. We told him we were going to call him Mike.

Always thought this one was pretty funny, looks like it's pronounced Die Fu*k you.

There's a chain of barbecue restaurants in California (not sure if it's nation wide), called Dickey's. No pic but there was one opening by my house and the sign said "Dickey's coming soon".

I know it's not real, but still makes me laugh:

" Spotted Dick " a british pudding...could not get the pic to load?

Nalley's marketed this: "Chili con Carne without meat"

Theres plenty of room for fun



Perfectly good UK food item but would cause a crap storm over in the US.

Even though my hubs is allergic to dairy and has a reaction every single time he eats ice cream, he still eats it. Magnum's caramel bars are his faaaaavorite thing ever, the wheezing & hives and everything is worth it, he says.

One time when he bought them, after we got home, he handed me one to try. I just looked at it in my hand and said, "Every time I see these, I think condoms, man."

Bastard snatched the bar right back and glared at me. I guess it's a forbidden snacks devotion thing XD

I lived in a town that had a D.A, named Jackie Moff.
