Questionable Marketing Decisions

Sometimes the marketing department makes a genius brand decision that makes you want to jump up and try the product. Like those Coke cans that say your name or your friend's name on them, and you're like "OMIGOD share a coke with Allison, that's MY name! I have to get this can ahhhhhhh!"

Sometimes, though, whoever's coming up with names and packaging is just phoning it right the hell in, or maybe intentionally trying to fuck with us, and you get these questionable choices:

1. Creme Betweens

Uh...do I need to point out why this is gross and weird? Creme Betweens do not make me think of something I want to put in my mouth, they make me think of that scene in Van Wilder (warning: do not watch if you ever want to enjoy a creme puff again). But hey, maybe the typical consumer wants to be double filled with some creme betweens....I don't know your life!





2. This Truck Company

No, I'm not a little lesbian, I'm a...

Yes, I'm aware this is probably Dutch and probably a person's last name. Still though.

 3. The Chasin' Cheeky Toy

This toy, found on a clearance shelf at Walmart (home of all that is classy), is at first just sort of strange. I get that monkeys are cheeky. So I guess the game is about chasin' the cheeky monkey? Wait...is that his bare ass on the packaging to the right?

Okay, wow, it's not just the packaging. This monkey toy for children has a shiny, bare, bum, and if I am interpreting the text correctly, you are supposed to "grab the banana" (!) and then the monkey will dance for you. And shake his booty. Uhhhh.....maybe this is why the toy is on clearance?
