Greetings friends.
Now, I have seen plenty of strange product names in my time.
Many of you would have seen them in funny emails over the years. I’ve bust my gut at gems such at Shitto’s canned spiced peppers, at BumBum ice cream and even a cock flavoured soup mix.
Yep, there are some seriously funny product names out there that just have to make you sit back and shake your head in delighted dismay.
However, then you get well known brands that name their products completely arbitrary names.
One particular example that made me raise an eyebrow is a Defy Slim Line oven, which is simply called Six Hundred.
Ok, so this is nowhere near as funny as BumBum ice cream, but is particularly funny on an absolutely arbitrary angle. So I consider this a “strange product name”.
I mean you could call your oven absolutely anything, the Baker 9000, the Mega Roaster Supreme….hell, even Hades Crimator-max would be more exciting, or even make more sense than Six Hundred.
Yes I may be ranting about something that seems inconsequential, however for me this kind of blatant lack of explanation or at least proof of thought, annoys me greatly.
I suppose it doesn’t help that the name Six Hundred is not represented as a numerical value, which may have lead us to understand more about the product and why it is Six Hundred and not Seven Hundred. Is it to do with power?, is it purely the series?
Anyway I’m sure that I will never find out the answer to this particular annoyance. However in the final analysis, who actually cares?
I suppose we as consumers will be perpetually bombarded by names and descriptions that mean absolutely nothing, unless you actually work for the company in question.
Shooo, anyway I suppose I should just let this one go!
Do you have any strange product names that annoy you? Please send me some links or leave a posting.
Peace.
