I've
had Golden Grahames for breakfast, spread I Can't Believe
It's Not Butter on my toast - in preference to Utterly Butterly,
of course.
So
I went back to the supermarket, happy in the knowledge that
the fad for Really Stupid Product Names was over. Pottering
through the wines and spirits, however, I couldn't help noticing
a bottle with the word CHICKEN emblazoned on the side.
Was
this some cheerfully named wine from an enterprising vineyard
in the New World? Well it may be, but closer inspection revealed
its full title.
Tastes
Great With CHICKEN.
Of
course there's another white called FISH, and a couple of
reds named STEAK and PASTA.
I
really think the good folk at Tesco shouldn't stop there.
I have some modest proposals should they decide to expand
this range...
- strong
ground coffee, called Tastes Great With FRIENDS. Obvious
tie-in possibilities with TV series.
- similarly,
a frozen cherry pie called Tastes Great With LOGS.
- Tastes
Great with CRACKERS! This is, uh, cheese.
- A
Bloody Mary mix called Tastes Great with VODKA.
- a
strong own-brand lager, attractively packaged in a gold
can with the name Tastes Great On A PARK BENCH
