Sir, we’re plum out of ideas
While grocery shopping, you sometimes run across some interesting titles. Especially when it comes to generic food.
Oh, how generic food makes me laugh.
Take this one for instance: “Crispy Hexagons.” I love this. We laughed for a few minutes in the store isle when we saw this one.
It makes me wonder what the development team was thinking when they had to think of a name. Were all the other good names taken for generic food? Wal-mart has Dr. Thunder instead of Dr. Pepper.
Just think what would happen if this team had to work on the generic soft drinks …
“Well, let’s call these Liquid-Filled Cylinders!

Boy, if I was in Hy-Vee and I turned the corner and you guys were laughing while looking at a box of cereal, I would do the whole….”No, I dont know those two.”
Mountain Dew = Mountain Lightning. Hey, they are not fooling Grant Ashe with that. I know they are roughly the same, both green yo.
Dr. Thunder…Mountain Lightning…someone is fascinated with the weather. Hmmm.
Out.

That remided me of this bit from the Simpsons:
Lou: I went to the McDonald’s over in Shelbyville the other day.
Chief Wiggum: The Mc-what?
Lou: Yeah, I never heard of it either but they say they have over 2,000 locations in this state alone.
Eddie: Hmm… Must’ve sprung up over night.
Lou: But you know, it’s the little differences.
Chief Wiggum: Example.
Lou: Well, at a McDonald’s you can get a Krusty Burger with cheese. But they don’t call it a Krusty Burger with cheese.
Chief Wiggum: Get out. What do they call it?
Lou: A “Quarter Pounder” with cheese.
Chief Wiggum: “Quarter Pounder” with cheese? Well, I can see the cheese but? do they have Krusty’s “Partially Gelatinated, Non-Dairy, Gum-Based Beverages”?
Lou: Yeah, they call them “shakes.”
Eddie: Huh. “Shakes.” You don’t know what you’re gettin’.
