Such as the thing labelled "Cock Banana" that Millar mentioned on the "boss is gone celebrate" thread.

You know you've seen at least one or two. C'mon, share with us.

At the grocery store I go to, they have hummingbird feeders that proudly bear a label reading "Hummers Galore". I chuckle every time.

I got a research brief once from a Hungarian drinks company. They wanted to launch their top-selling Hungarian liqeur in the UK market and wanted to test-market the brand first. It was called Unicum.

Oh I forgot about Nads. I used a sample from the Nads TV infomercial in a song once, it was a sample of a woman saying "then I smeared the Nads all over my face...".

"hello kitty dildo" sounds kind of naughty

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 9 June 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Baps indeed. Especially large ones!

I always thought Cheeze Nips sounded dirty, and Cheezits sounded just plan gross. (They both still exist in your local snack aisle, right?)

And oh yeah, Grey Poupon Mustard.

There's a little boutique that just opened on Broadway near my apartment that sells baby-gear with an Asian aesthetic. It's name is LUCKY WANG!

I point you all to Wanker Beer and the bad food thread in which I detailed finding a Nigerian/Ghanaian hot pepper sauce called, aptly enough, Shitto in my local Afro food shop in East London. Also found some mints in an Italian deli near me called Mental... how well they would have sold around the M25 in 1989...

There's a restaurant on 5th Ave. in Brooklyn called Colon, I think. And one in Chinatown called Big Wong, and another one with "Dung" in the name.

And my favorite restaurant, while growing-up, was called "Buffalo Chips." I didn't get the joke until years later.

I took a picture of a restaurant right off of King's Road last time I was in London, that was a pan-Asian place called....wait for it...PHAT PHUC!

There's one in Chinatown called Phat Ho. We almost died laughing when we came upon it the other night.

It's in Vancouver, east of the Commercial Drive area...

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 9 June 2003 19:42 (twenty-two years ago)

It also might be a chain, too, for all I know...

The owners of Pat Pong restaurant in the East Village do not seem to be aware that Pat Pong Road in Bangkok is the place to buy sexual favors of all kinds (and bootleg Gucci bags).

― hstencil, Monday, 9 June 2003 20:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe they ARE aware of that fact. Try ordering the "special green curry". It might come with a hand-job.

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 9 June 2003 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I think that's what rosemary ordered when we went, actually.

And who wouldn't?

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 9 June 2003 20:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I ordered pad thai. YOU were the one who ordered curry. (Or was it "curry"???)

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 9 June 2003 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

well I sure as hell didn't get a handjob.

My friends brough me back some Fanny Jam from Peru and I have bought both Plop- and Kack bars in Sweden.

You Scot friend who thinks Knob Creek is funny should stop giggling and start drinking. That's some fan-freakin'-tastic whiskey, right there.

OKAY...

Am I the only one here who only now has ever heard the term "fish taco" used a dirty euphemism? Or did I just happen to grow up in a place where the economy for fish tacos masked the giggliness of its alternate meaning?

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 07:01 (twenty-two years ago)

DB, PLEASE -- did Dan Bremmer never explain why Uberzone recorded a song called "Space Disco for Fish Tacos" for the fundraising comp -- and why it sounded the way it did and what it was supposed to be about? ;-)

At the grocery store I go to, they have hummingbird feeders that proudly bear a label reading "Hummers Galore".

And then there's the sport-utility behemoth the Hummer. Yes, Americans strongly link cars and sex, but how on earth did the marketing people get approval for this?

The owners of Pat Pong restaurant in the East Village do not seem to be aware that Pat Pong Road in Bangkok is the place to buy sexual favors of all kinds

Obviously a branch of the Alexandria Thai restaurant whose sign used to read "Authentic Thai Cousine." Always wondered just what that place had on the menu.
