I passed a convienece store on the way to work and they had Uh-Oh Oreos in the window. They're the "reverse" Oreos; chocolate filling sandwiched between two butter cookies. I thought to myself, "You know, I really like those things. Better than regular Oreos. But they've got such a stupid name." So I'd never actually buy them.
It's like when you go to a restaurant, and you see something on the menu that looks good, but it's got some cutesy/ridiculous name and you're too embarrassed to order it. I usually just point at it and say "I'll have this thing." Or order something else, that I don't really want but has a better name.
Why must we be humiliated in order to get what we want? "You want this? Do ya? Well, first you'll have to wear this dress and unicycle down Main Street while yodelling."
I'm really bad when it comes to stuff like that. I can't order froofy flavored coffee unless I'm placing an order for a bunch of people. Then I can work it in there in between the regular coffees. That's the only way I can get a French Vanilla. So...does anyone else do that? Has anyone ever heard those ads on TV or the radio that say something like "Come on down to Crazy Eddie's House of Appliances! Tell 'em Crazy Eddie sent ya and recieve 20% off!" and decide they'd rather just pay the full price than say "Crazy Eddie sent me"?
I'm the only one, aren't I? Crap.
