From Fart Bars to Cock Soup, brands with names that just don't travel

AMERICANS have heard about our high street favourite Poundland – and their double meaning of pound has got them tittering and Twittering. Many have tweeted snaps of the storefront for a laugh, one …

Yup, some names do not travel well. A PR company's major headache when dealing with international sales and translations. Hilarious!

The there was the Queens, NY, Chinese restaurant actually named Fuk Yu, which was a family name. Then there was a Chinese restaurant that was named Wonderful restaurant that changed its name to the Okay restaurant, with no explanation.

I can't refuse my favorite Caesar salad, I always take it when I go to a cafe.

I'll have a side order of Bo Jangles dirty rice as long as no one reminds me what's in it, items that I usually avoid. I'm not eager to eat commercially produced ice cream bars, doubting that that's really ice cream. Twinkies whether they've been nailed to the wall for ten years or fresh from the package. Lenin's remains are not as well preserved. Dr. Pepper ... I know this is a favorite daily drink for many, but not for me, and is that prune flavoring in any way related to prunes? Any brand of diet cola or other soft drink; all I can taste are "sweeteners" that don't taste in any way sweet to me. Christmas fruit cake, which doesn't actually taste bad to me, but it just doesn't taste like food, more like eating a piece of furniture.

The best snack for me with beer is meat cooked on the grill, here grill do everything to make the meat turn out perfectly delicious, especially often I use it when we gather with friends at a party, to feed everyone with meat, I am pleased. By the way grills come in different sizes depending on what kind you want in your home.

that's a myth about twinkies. They go bad at pretty much the same rate any type of small semi moist cake product in a sealed plastic sleeve will.

@anotherjob Do they show up in undigested form whilst you are perusing the 'stalls' for the day job?

I've definitely confirmed this. I used to work at a gas station while in high school, as we certainly had twinkies go bad in the package

I love that you're confirming this. It's one of those myths that just sticks because it really seems right some how. That said I haven't had a twinkie in a long time and the last time was a deep fried one which tasted way better then it should have been able to.

The old spotted dick is amazing name for a food item.

Yeah I've heard that countless times, and it was so engrained as gospel truth that when I first saw mold on a twinkie, I tried coming up with an alternate explanation! I would say that they didn't last all that much longer than the highly preserved Danishes that we got from the same vendor

As an experiment I kept a vending machine Twinkie in my office (wrapped) for 7 years before it felt stale. I didn’t eat it but after 10 years it still smelled like a Twinkie. It was on a bookcase but otherwise no special treatment.

We also had a box of doughnuts from a doughnut shop that were 16 years old before they finally got tossed. No mold, no smell apart from a slight stale grease smell about a year in, but they shrunk quite a bit as they dried up. The genesis of that experiment is a long story.

We couldn’t get any takers on eating one.

I wonder what made our experiences so different? I suppose climate could be a factor, as could the packaging. Perhaps there was a pinhole in the Twinkie package I referred to, or perhaps it was some variance in the batch. I live in Canada, so if it was manufactured in a different plant with different ingredients, that could account for something as well. All that to say I have no idea why the Twinkie at the gas station would go bad and yours apparently wouldn't. Something to ponder!

Not quite a "snack" but this could really do with a new name/label ??
From the frozen food section of an Asian supermarket

Humidity seems to be a big factor. The plastic wrappers aren’t impermeable. That and/or just a difference in the local microfauna would be my guess.

We had a backup “collection” of vintage doughnuts in another building. The HVAC went out over the weekend causing it to become warm and very humid for a few days. A doughnut that had been added a week or so earlier got moldy. The older specimens were already sufficiently dry so they survived unscathed.
