This food store has mostly a twenty-something male staff stocking the shelves during the day and I asked one for help finding the Brewer's Yeast. Neither of us could find it, and before I knew it, there were three stock guys and a manager trying to track it down. Someone had called to the back room and was told that it had just been added to the shelf the day before. We were told it was on the bottom shelf in a can or canister.
There we all were, bums in the air, searching along the bottom shelves when I came across this can:

I couldn't help it. I started laughing and could not stop. Tears were falling from my eyes as the guys who were helping me look asked what was so funny. I was too embarrassed to tell them I had found "spotted d*ick" and was laughing at it since I'm, you know, not twelve so I just said "nothing" and moved on to the next shelf. But I was still laughing inside.

Seriously - WTH?? I had to look it up when I got home (and was a little worried what might pop up in that Google search so I made sure I added the word "food") and found it is an English cake. I should have known.

So, dear readers, what bizarre food names make you laugh? Can you top my "Spotted D*ck"??
(I still laugh every time I say it.)
That is hilarious and what a strange name. Very weird. I can't believe it's a cake! I might have to look it up too.
ReplyDeleteI like your blog. Found you on Mom Bloggers Follow Me Group. I'm now following and looking forward to reading more.
Ok so I have to admit that when I saw this pop up in my blog feed of blogs I followed, I clicked on it right away because I just had to know why there was a picture of a can that said "Spotted D*ck!"
ReplyDeleteSeriously!? There is such a thing? This one has me cracking up.
And just so you know, I would have been the immature 12 year old giggling about it too!
Yes, I too am an immature 12 year old at heart. For some reason the cans of "Fish Balls" at the store usually get a giggle out of me but........your Spotted D*ick has one upped me!
ReplyDeleteLOL Fun-Nee!
ROFL! I would have laughed like crazy too! LOL Fish Balls. I have never heard or seen that one either..I have no funny ones to report. Guess I better pay attention when going shopping.
ReplyDeleteWow. Seriously? DO people not think of these things before naming something like that? Ish!
ReplyDeleteFish Balls??? WTF! haha
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously, people actually buy this stuff?? LOL
LOL
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to stop laughing since I read 'spotted d*ck" !
Too funny!
Those english folk just dont know what to come up with next.
