Chlitina - it's a chain of stores (beauty products I believe) - and every time I see it I think of 'lit' in China. Once, I'd wished the H was missing! That would make an interesting picture I think.

Yes, "clitina," a dimunitive clitoris, just right for tongue-tickling. And then the other possibilities...

Perhaps we'd find "Rose's Clitina" in El Paso, just upstairs at "Roses Cantina..."

...so it would ruin absolutely the taste of Coca Cola?

...so it would ruin absolutely the taste of Coca Cola?

(Usually served straight or in ginger ale; I wouldn't even mix it in Pepsi.)

The favourite drink of monsters.

(An ad campaign from my childhood:

"Things go better with Coke."

What do monsters eat? Things.
What do they drink? Coke, of course, because things go better with Coke.)

Coca Cola (Ke Ko Ke La) (pron. ker ko ker la) in Chinese means 'refreshing drink' - amazing that the makers wouldn't have known that years ago. And as it's marketed in China it just can't lose!

Seven-League Boots

(7-UP is the "Uncola," a lemon-lime early competitor of Coke. Coke came in 6.5 oz bottles; the new drink gave 7 oz for the same price. The "UP" refered to one of the supposed medicinal qualities - eructation. Remember, these were "drugstore" items when they were first produced.)

Yeah yeah I knew it was a drink - in fact I can buy it off the shelf here. Just musing about the possibilities that the people who gave it the name didn't intend the connotations with penis length and its destination. Or is it just my dirty mind??


Thigh high leather boots..mmmmmmmm!
