Funny foreign brand names
Well, I was in Palma last week. The first thing we spotted when we went to the supermarket was... "Colon" brand laundry detergent. (Time for a recitation of the Colorectal Surgeon's Song - http://www.alioth.net/tmp/crs.mp3)
A few days later, we passed a shop that proudly was titled "Gas Germans". (Well, I think it was 'Cas Germans', but the cursive font used made the C look more like a G).

"Use Grace Cock soup to add body and flavour to your Chicken, Shrimp or Beef soup, or to your steamed fish, chicken or rice dishes. Grace Cock soup can also be enjoyed as a delicious broth without the need to add other ingredients."
The last line is enough to put me off altogether :lol:
there's also these little doughnut type cake things here called "Ding Dongs". There's a company that makes jam and fruit products called Motts (a Mott is a minge), and sickeningly they have a line called "Motts for Tots" my wife wondered why I was laughing, but at the same time grimacing.
There's tons of inuendos in American packaging, I know I've seen tons more than what I've written here.
But the all time best one for crude and wrongful double entendre is a one I spotted back home in Engy-Land. It's the safety warning on bags of nuts, not an allergy warning but something much more sinister "Warning small children may choke on nuts". :lol:

English people also quite like the name of my local town, Craponne.
Then again the area of Dorset where grew up enjoys an array of colourful place names including Piddletrentide, Shitterton and Far Corfe (near Corfe Castle).
Sadly Far Corfe (say it out loud with a posh accent) has local use only but Shitterton and Piddletrentide are officially on the map and both have recovered their names from zealous PC councils who changed their names to Puddletrentide and Sitterton before locals reversed the decisions. Shitterton used to have a very appropriate smelly chicken farm.
The Tolpuddle Martyrs hailed from another village on the river Piddle, and they have been tidied up to stop schoolkids smirking. The Tolpiddle Martyrs just wouldn't do for the historical origins of the worker's union rights.
there was a farming mag called. 'goat gangbang'
i think it was a teen mag called 'dirty dormitory dykes'
a military mag called 'sergeant strap-on'
i mean if only they knew what these name meant in english i tells ya. (they seemed quite poplular tho)
I spotted an all night garage type thingy with a building on the side called "Lube Doctor".

with the title line DIESEL BOY STRAP ON 7"
I kept getting questions from Americans asking if it had been used, not realising it was a record they had been enquiring about.
Then the person who won the auction said that they would pay me for the item, but pleaded with me not to send the goods out!
Unbelievable!!....you can buy 7" strap ons here no problem......ummm so dm_boozefreek told me.
I got the tip from the midget prostitute I used to work with at shoe carnival :D
I always got some childish mirth from "Jiffy Lube".
Had a computer program where i had to convert it to dutch, never heard so many 'kunts' since i walked past Wembley after a Boyzone concert.
hob nobs make me laugh. if you offer a woman one put the emphasis on nob, she'll blush, and then you say its a biscuit, ha ha ha.
chocolate fingers provide no end of amusment.
hmmm i really did think they were more.
why dont you:
slide a sugary donut down your ****, then get your bird to eat it off, the sugar will keep her busy
in return pop a jammy dodger up her **** and try and lick the jam out.
I wonder where that advertising slogan went to! :o
same place as 'umbongo umbong, they drink it in the congo' went to.
I always thought it was...drink it in the Jungle.
-edit- i wus wrong
the song
Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, a hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.
The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo", Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.
The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin. The parrot painted packets that the whole caboodle landed in.
So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo!

Although it was a strange name to call it as it had nothing to do with illicit alchohol or getting your arse out (maybe after drinking said illicit alchohol).
suni delight had nothing to do with muslims
does anyone remember panda cola? i remember me and my brother and my street brother throwing some cans at some rowdy builders. not sure if they came from china or not. (the cola not the builders)
I love Wikipedia.
Wait, did I say 'love'? I meant 'find it tedious, inane and bureaucratic'.
cherrie blair couldn't have said it better
i love the line 'It is however worth noting that there are no historical records of Um Bongo actually being consumed in the Congo.'
The exotic origins of Panda Cola and all of your other favourite Panda Pops was Blandford Forum in Dorset.
Didn't that have a song that went something like "moonshine, moonshine, something something something, but it tastes just fine" ???
"looks pretty weird"
It's a soda.
I'm not sure if they're still trading, I've sadly not noticed Belcher's Sausages in a while.
Then there was, from Denmark, Bollox washing powder. :D Imagine the campaign if it had been launched here: "To all your tough laundry problems, say Bollox." :lol:
