I like Faggots - - - - I'm Guessing

Kintarō Hattori · 07-01-2008 01:23PM #1

After having a delicous Chicken Tikka Masala yesterday I was looking through Irish and British cuisine on the web and came across Faggots - - - which apparently are a type of meatball. Seemingly they are or have been available in Ireland, at least according to Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/****_%28food%29

We've all seen some funny brands while abroad but have you seen anything in Ireland that really makes you think the market researchers didn't do their job properly. I know I have but can't think of them now, if I come across them I'll share them here (providing this isn't locked in a nano-second).

Any funnies to share?

I remember in Woodies they had bird food called "FAT BALLS" ... they changed the name after the first year

Abroad the best I saw were hotdogs called "Knackers" ... priceless. "je like hatdags?"

I wonder how many faggots I can fit in my mouth at once?

I saw Faggots in Aldi's or Lidl's a couple of years ago. Wonder if they still have them.

Now kids - simmer down otherwise the thread will get locked prematurely. Keep the yapping to any oddities you've seen in the shops.

People who worked in Woodies tend to be great people

Anyway even the name Woodies is great. I remember a granny came into a store complaining because she asked her granddaughter to show her the woodies website and when she typed in woodies.com (or similar) the granny nearly died ... she told the manager she wasnt happy. The grandaughter bookmarked the page afaik

I posted a thread here a while ago about "Black Bastard" , a new energy drink available in the stores here.

Kintarō Hattori · 07-01-2008 02:16PM

Mitsubishi Pajero - only in Ireland would people happily drive a car that means
'w anker'.

I saw some faggots when I was doing my shopping in Lidl on Parnell St a while ago. Needless to say, I never shopped there again!

I think at one stage they had some slogan ...
The Blacker The Berry The Sweeter The Bast@rd
(or that couldve been the joke doing the rounds when I 1st heard about it)

Wigertoods · 07-01-2008 02:32PM

was in the states a few years ago and saw a tour coach named massey and the slogan "where can massey's take you today".
