3. Anusol.
Who thought it was a good idea to put the word "anus" in the name of a hemorrhoid cream? I can just imagine the meeting where that was decided...

20. Went to buy some beans the other day for a bean salad
I picked up Bush Beans and then put them back. I just couldn't do it. Bought another brand that I'd never heard of.

25. You should see Bush St. in SF...
Every Street sign has the sticker "Stop", "Impeach", etc. over the name Bush. Believe me, the San Francisco Republican Party is so lonely, they don't even have to rent out a banquet hall!!

8. I'm sure ...
just started the new one this past week. When it first came out, someone here made a post asking how long do you think the ad will stay on. Actually ran longer than I thought - figured a couple weeks at most.

9. Der Wienerschnitzel
I know it's German for "sausage sausage" but it still sounds potty mouthed to me.

17. Ja, ich bin auch verwirrt...
Ich war der Meinung, daß Wienerschnitzel 'Viennese styled-chop' bedeutet.

13. You must understand German to see the humour in this, but...
the soda Sierra Mist has the word MIST emphasised on the label, well Mist is the German word for manure.

19. Minimed.
It's a bit obscure; they make insulin pumps and little else, but it reminds me of an itty bitty doctor, like Mini-Me from the Austin Powers movies.

30. There used to be a cracker called "Hits"
The name was in big block letters on the box. And one time in the supermarket they had all the boxes lined up in long rows. You might have to type this one out in capital letters to understand the humor of coming around the corner and seeing this display, cause I don't want to get the thread locked.

31. Calpis
When I was a kid in Japan, the Navy Commissary bought cases and cases of it from a distributor and sold it really cheap.

It's an orange flavored drink. Very cheap and popular with moms. Not so popular in the playground. :)
