    Avoiding stupidly named products.

    I don't know if it's a form of snobbery, but am I the only one that avoids buying things with ridiculous names?

    Take plants/seeds for instance, I just could never bring myself to buy the tomatoes 'Tomazing' or 'Tomarvellous' or the petunia 'Crazytunia', no matter how fabulous the write-up, just because the names make me shrivel with their cringe-worthiness...

      I don't so much avoid silly names but products with annoying adverts I do, the above is a prime example - who is Barry Scott anyway? (or Scarry Bott, as we call him)

            Hahaha! I thought it was just me. I agree with all the above. Although I do buy beers with silly names - they're usually fab! Barry Scott is a stage name, his real name is Neil Burgess. I even stopped buying Marathon bars when they were renamed. Mental!

            Glad I'm in such good company.

                    I NEVER BUY FAIRY LIQUID and why is that stupid clock always at ten to two. Also why does that child never grow up?

                          but wot's in a name? Shirley getting the name out front was the object of giving the product a silly name

                            The most annoying thing about Cillit Bang is that it actually does work
                            He who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame

                              Yes, it does. I only know this because Mr.G buys it.
