Branddating works as followed: You desribe yourself in an honest way by giving a few personality traits and hobbies. This way you will be able to find a likeminded date. There's only one difference: you can only use brands to describe yourself."

Ok, describing yourself strictly in terms of brands is about as dud as it gets. I would never, ever want to date someone who defined themselves in this manner, except maybe as a joke, and even then I'd be suspicious. This is a major problem today I think, albeit a major success for companies and the advertising agencies who assist them.

Oh, man, would Douglas Coupland be good at that.

Actually, I know someone who got a tattoo of the logo found inside a pair of Fiorucci love boots (not the angels, its like a big high- heeled shoe with a woman in bondage gear standing in front), and while it is corporate in origin, it's also cool as fuck. It's a guy, too, so extra points for dementedness.

Keebler?

I guess it's not dud because it really will attract "likeminded dates."

I'm sure some guy will try and get lucky and say they are Durex.

Combined with Speed Dating [Jewish, Gay, General] - this could turn into a lusty tupperware party...

― Jason, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Trader Joe's, Alaskan Amber, Malibu Coconut Rum, Plus(r) Beyond Seven...

If this won't get me a date, I don't know what will.

Well, I'm all hot now, thanks Bri. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

those trader joe's peanut butter filled pretzles are the bomb diggy. i would date anyone who was those in a heartbeat. male or female.

my date went...eh.

in case anyone cared.

― jess, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Why eh, jess?

I'm Kool-Aid with Techron®.

― Cryosmurf, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

"My date went..eh" Oh no, why? Not enough peanut butter pretzel, too much other stuff p'raps?

― rainy, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

eh = first time me and this female human spent more than five minutes with each other via work interaction or online communication. didn't go *badly* but didn't hit it off as well as i hoped.

and no, she is no peanut butter pretzle. that will be reserved for a very speshul gurl. one that hopefully - unlike the pretzle - you wont be able to shake and here the goop move around inside of her.
