Scooby Snacks 23

What's this I see in an advert on TV last night?
Immac is changing it's name to VEET!

You can just hear it now:

"Just going upstairs to veet my legs"
"Okay dear"

WTF?

brickboy

Jif to Cif is OK, and Marathon to Snickers is OK, but VEET? Crap name! It's globalisation gone mad, etc etc ... I expect Naomi Klein will write one of her poncey 6th-form essays about it soon

NotoriousREV

LOL, I'm considering creating the brand name "No Logo" just to **** Naomi Klein off

Veet? What the hell? Who makes up these words?

brickboy

Notorious --

Did I dream it, or is it true that "No Logo" is trademarked by her? If so, just another ***** at the capitalist gang-bang, as Bill Hicks would say ....

brickboy - marathon to snickers is NOT ok...how can you say that

brickboy

Doesn't matter what it's called -- it still comes up peanuts, slice after slice ...

'Just off to Veet me badger darling' - just doesn't sound right to me.

NotoriousREV

That's one hell of a euphemism!

Dan - that did make me chuckle (almost a coffee gusher!!!)

In the very dim and distant past, do I not remember that Immac, (or, if not Immac, then something else), was actually called "Veet-O", and part of their advertising was that the process was "Veet-Odourless)??

Isn't Muji already based on this concept?
