Would You Eat Shyte ?

The Oort Cloud

This company must have been living under a big rock to call their chocolate Shyte. Would you eat this shyte ?. Just imagine walking into the shop and asking... can I have one packet of shyte please. So... Would you ask for a packet of Shyte in your local store ?.

One said that the chocolate 'probably won't catch on in Scotland,' while some said the brand had to be a 'practical joke'.

However Shyte is a real chocolate company, with products on shelves at stores in Canada, a website selling items and social media profiles.

It appears the brand founder Mr Richards may not be as clueless about the word's meaning as first thought, though.

A search on the brand's Facebook page reveals that the founder has liked comments praising the 'hilarious' name.

Brilliant marketing!

Still wouldn't eat it though, it's a fairly accurate description of those protein bars.

I wouldn't have said I'd look at shíte either, yet here I am in AH every 2nd day

Hande hoche!

Wonder did it taste anything like a flyte bar?

If I was on a desert island and it was poo or a tub of pot noodle that had fallen of a passing container ship I'd go with the former.

'Shyte in a Bucket' might turn from an insult into a family-sized value meal.

Tom Pearl needs to know of this.

Would the word "shi*e" be used at all in Canada/USA? Did he definitely know what he was doing, naming it that?

Do they do one with sweetcorn?

It seems like a new business initiative. Well next time I start my new cheese company I'll just call it shyte cheese and it will sell like hot shytes. That person was either a genius or a nut-case.

Reminds me of this.

Technically speaking alcohol is an excretory product of yeast.

And guess bacteria do to milk to make yoghurt ?

Cheese isn't as bad but still ...


And then there's Kopi Coffee :eek:
