Alternative names used for certain products that aggravate the hell out of you

Like red Jell-O. Flavor profile: Red.

I’m at a loss at the point you’re trying to make. What you claim is the “fault” is in fact the actual joke. It’s formulaic and meme-ified. kaylasdad99 used it exactly according to the formula.

Again, it’s really ok that you personally don’t find it humorous (I don’t either), but your comments seem to indicate that you think kaylasdad99 was wrong in the way he structured the joke, and he objectively wasn’t.

If your point is that this formulaic joke has a faulty formula…ok. Clearly, a lot of people disagree with you, and I personally think your version isn’t even really a joke, but that’s fine in and of itself. It’s just that, again, you seemed to be taking issue personally with kaylasdad99, and in an oddly aggressive and confrontational manner.

When I was a kid and visiting my grandparents in Ypsi/Ann Arbor, I used to like Faygo Red pop but also remember liking the Rock & Rye, a sort of vanilla cola. I eventually outgrew my sweettooth and pretty much forgot about Faygo for 10 years… until I went to an Insane Clown Posse concert. Everything and everyone was absolutely drenched in the stuff.

As a West Coast native, I went years before I learned that “Faygo” was a legitimate brand, and not a sexual slur.

Heh, I’m also a West Coast native, but I know a number of Michiganders. :wink:

I’ve had “wolf peach” melomel (no, it’s not a “mead” if it has fruit juice in it!) and wolf peach is an archaic name for tomato and yes it was fucking delicious.

And regarding the pop vs soda thing–I’m originally from California and after I moved to Oregon was the first time I heard it referred to as “pop.” Since I was working at Plaid Pantry at the time I had to adapt and go with the flow. Along with “half rack” for a twelve pack of beer. Buncha weirdos in this town. :wink:

I’ve lived in “Soda” land, moved to “Pop” country, went to college where it was “Vernor’s”, now I’m in “Soda” territory, with “Coke” friends. Oh, and where I grew up it was “Soda Pop”.

So now I just use brand names: “I’m going to go get a burger and a Sprecher Root Beer.”
“That’s oddly specific…”
(here I pause, staring into the setting sun)
“You don’t know how I’ve suffered…”

Okay. What is a Parmageddon? Sounds enticing. I’ll go with.

Yes, I’m in. That looks fookin’ Great!

Oh dear, just watched a YouTube on that sandwich. I would never have thought of putting vereniki in a sandwich. Good heavens!

Dear lord, that sounds friggin’ delicious. But you can keep the Redpop. I’d rather have a Rock & Rye (which I’ve actually had, we have an old-fashioned ice cream/soda counter/candy maker joint near here that carries a lot of regional sodas (served out of an old bottle machine) and they get it on a semi-regular basis - it’s damn tasty).

However, I will say that, regardless of what was said above, a Co’Cola is ALWAYS specifically a Coca Cola. I wouldn’t even know what to do with a person who replied to a request for a Co’Cola with “we have Coke, Sprite, Fanta, etc.”. Soda is still generic and will require follow-up. And pop is the sound a champagne bottle makes when you open it.

Is Panama Red still around? :grin:

We keep both in stock. They’re different enough to be two different sodas (or pops).

Man, I wish I was back in Ohio. I love the variety of food here, but you can’t get those Ohio specialties, like goetta or Marion’s pizza.

Is Simply Red still around?

I’ll keep holding on until someone comes up with an answer.

If you mean, do I think that bourbon must made in Kentucky, no I know that’s not true. I do know that it doesn’t say bourbon on the label. And that they went to a lot of trouble not to be classified as a bourbon, but Tennessee whiskey. The difference is slight, but there is a difference.

Buy the marketing? Nah, I like Benchmark.

What are you talking about? The cites given say that Tennessee whiskey is classified as bourbon whiskey. “Tennessee whiskey” is merely a marketing label, not a classification.
