Weirdly Name Things Around Your House

Zillah

In our drinks cabinet we have a bottle of Ruby Port that bravely shows its brand to be "COCKBURNS" in big yellow letters. When I was in Helsinki I discovered a designer sunglasses brand called "Seksey", though that one was probably intentional...

Anything similar?

Hehe, I had Cock Burn about 2 weeks ago. Not too pleasant. Provided for some excellent innuendo.

Not in my house but in France at the moment theres a type of bread called Bimbo bread, its the brand name but the bread has all the crusts cut off like your mammy used to do. Possibly designed for those without the grey matter to cut the crusts off themselves. BIMBO.

coincidental, I think not!

Agent Smith

Also from peru - fanny jam, or for the more sophositicated wit, fanny tuna

Or the Ikea Fartfull workbench, of dubious origin.

I also got a tea in Bolivia called "TiMiLord". In an impoverished South American country where many don't speak spanish (nevermind english), I wonder who exactly the marketing boys were aiming at.

If the paper has "Intentionally left blank" written on it, then its not, is it?

I saw a bottle of Knob Creek in a bar before asweell, first time I saw it I broke my hole laughing. There is another bottle of strangle named alcohol which I unfortunatly can't remember, but it's equally hilarious iirc
