"Le Snoot" Merlot and other outstanding product names

[shereads]

Label art is a chalk drawing of a pig with an attitude.

Other names I admire:

Local pet grooming place, "The Dog from Ipanema."

Lawn care listing in Yellow Pages: "Marquis de Sod."

My favorite was a drive-in hotdog place I used to go called "Eat It And Beat It".

Nothing like making the customer feel welcome.

We also have a "Strange Engineering" around here, and I usd to get literature from Analtech, an analytical chemistry outfit that apparently didn't have much of a sense of humor.

Granny used to say that at Thanksgiving.



What a precious memory.

I think knowing it was a hotdog place only further adds to the humor.

God yes. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

Someone told me that they'd seriously considered, for Nixon's re-election campaign, "You can't lick our Dick," but I'm not convinced it's true. But wouldn't it be nice if ...?

You know you're not the only one with a filthy mind around here, you virile, rippling thing you.

Ewwww... That made cheezies come out of my nose.

There is (or used to be, I haven't been down there in a looong time) a strip club on Orange Blossom Trail called The Booby Trap. The two buildings were flesh colored and conical, even.

A strip club in San Francisco, The Hungry Eye.

I know I should be appalled or something, but I think strip club names are hilariously funny!

I'm trying to decide if it's a male or female club...

LOL! The ladies are scantily clad whilst the gentleman drool into their fine wines, tastefully, of course.

Dick's Drive In, a long-time fixture in the Puget Sound area, used to have a slogan, "Nothing's better'n a bag of Dick's!"

This thread reminds me of a long-ago skit on SNL, back when it used to be funny. Dan Ackroyd, in a parody of a Smuckers' commercial: "With a name like 'Mangled Baby Ducks,' it's got to be good!"

Oh! I was thinking "Boy Toy". Duh. I'm stupid.

Maxim has a feature every month called "Found Porn." Ads that someone actually thought was innocent.

Now we understand why no one ever sings "Here Comes the Groom."

Heehee.

Chances are, the copywriter, the art director and the photographer knew exactly what they were doing and never thought they'd get away with it.

Store name in Naples, Florida:

"More Than Just Futons And Barstools"

I've imagined a backstory for this name that involves feuding twin brothers in matching leisure suits, a law firm, a court-appointed mediator and lots of shiny furniture.

 

[shereads]

Chain furniture store whose name is so bad it's perfect:

Badcock.

My mom and everyone else's mom pronounce it, "Babcock." But it's Badcock. My ex-boss had worked on the account and told me how the client bragged about designing the Badcock website himself and the astonishing number of hits they get at the site each day.

Two come to mind:

In Spain the Nestlé Company market a coffee called "Bonka".

In Toulouse (S.W.France) there is a sports equipment shop called "The Athlete's Foot".

 

[shereads]

We have The Athlete's Foot in the U.S., snoop. I don't think you can catch it online, but if your keyboard is making your fingertips itch you'll know what to tell your doctor.

There's a brand of children's cereal in Latin America called Bimbo. The picture on the box, I'm sorry to report, is of a cartoon bear.

What a shame they're changing their name. When Stupid Son Of A Bitch, Florida hears of this they'll want to change theirs, too.
