Can someone help me out here? What does, ''Goop for bros." mean? I tried to google, “Goop,” and didn’t find anything. What am I missing? ---

It’s a cleaninig product. The only time I’ve ever encountered it was for removing fingerprinting ink. Maybe Carlson has some secrets he wants to keep. ---

Ok, I’m aware of the cleaning product, “Goop.” I guess I just don’t see how the dick tanner is, “Goop for bros.” Is it that they have ermm, price tag glue stuck on their dangly bits? 'Cause that is one of the main things Goop is good for. ---

Ah, that makes more sense. I’d heard of the candle and maybe the egg. That is a pretty weird company. I mean, it may have had some interesting ideas, but it seems to have pitched right down into woo. ---

Expensive woo at that. I can go to a mineral store and get a piece of quartz for $5 that will cleanse my chakra just as well as any of her products will. > [@Sylvanz](#): > > Yeahhh, I’m thinking the junk death ray was pretty woo from the start. I don’t really see any interesting ideas that it jumped off from. I’m gonna speculate that it’s us manly men are supposed to go naked under the sun, and not having sun on our balls makes us cucks. So buy a ball tanner, to make you a strong man who can’t be taken advantage of. ---

Yes, I know, “cleansing,” is just junk science and so is clearing chakras. They do seem (Goop) to understand how cleansing vaginas is bad. Which seems confusing to me 'cause if you know cleaning your vagina is bad why do they not understand that your body is pretty good at, “cleansing,” other areas. Stupid stuff. I don’t think Carlson has had his junk in the sun ever. That’s probably why he thinks he needs a manly dick tanner. By the sounds of that laugh, though I think he may not be getting what he thinks he is. Can you really buy one of those things? I’m afraid to google it. I can think of some people that come into my store that I’d like to talk into it in the hopes of catch them on video using it. If you can buy it, I wonder how much of a kick back Carlson gets? ---

When my kids were little I used to make them a meal that I called Goop and that was in the 80’s. It was just Mac & Cheese with ground beef and mixed veggies. I was very irritated that Paltrow “Stole” my term. I put Tucker in the same category as competitive eating; things I have never and will never understand the appeal for. ---

> [@garygnu](#): > > Häagen-Dazs is a completely made-up name. What I found amusing was when they tried to sue another ice cream company named “Frusen Glädjé” for “foreign branding strategies”. They thought that they were the only company that could create an ice cream brand with a foreign-sounding name. (“Frusen Glädjé” isn’t gibberish, it is Swedish for “frozen delight”.) Unsurprisingly, they were unsuccessful. [http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~haroldfs/popcult/handouts/adverts/ipr\_11\_95.html](http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~haroldfs/popcult/handouts/adverts/ipr_11_95.html) > In a court action between Haagen-Dazs and **Frusen Gladje** , a manufacturer of ice cream attempted to keep a competitor from using features of its packaging which evoked a fresh, Scandinavian image of the product. Haagen-Dazs sought to keep Frusen Gladje from using a two-word “Swedish”-sounding name, a prominently displayed list of the product’s natural ingredients, a list of artificial ingredients not found in the ice cream, directions for serving and eating the ice cream (essentially that it was best served soft), and a map of Scandinavia. > > Despite the well-developed promotional techniques employed by Haagen-Dazs, the court refused to extend protection to its Scandinavian marketing theme. The court found that although both companies used a similar concept to promote their products, they were easily distinguishable. The court noted that the coloring, design and shape of the two ice cream containers were completely different, and the prices of the two products were significantly different, although both competed in the premium ice cream market. In the opinion of the court, the difference in the trade dress of the two products was apparent “to all but the most obtuse consumer.” Frusen Glädjé eventually went away, I don’t even remember hearing about them or seeing them. (It seems like they were only around in the 80s and vanished in the early 90s, like a scoop of ïćè çřæm on the sidewalk.)
