You'd better buy a TM mantra instead, C&J and then you can become a jumping bean for real.

Snickers, Starburst etc. Haven’t had them since they changed their names.

Mini - some of them are bigger than crossovers and exec cars. If ever a product needed renaming this is it.

Confused - what's this got to do with insurance ?

Go Compare - more to do with the irritating adverts

O2 - I do use but what a stupid name

Ones with pointless punctuation marks in them, for instance LV= or the Kia Cee'd

Any tattoo parlour that advertises Tattoo's - if you can't correctly use an apostrophe on your signage, there's no chance I'd risk letting you permanently mark my skin.

It's a surprise you know my IQ, standard of education and the qualifications I have.

I have a Cee'd and I don't know why either.

Another vote for the Dacia Duster

Although their new model, the Dacia Dishcloth looks pretty good

I once saw a t-shirt with the brand name "Rovers" on it. I'm not going to be tempted myself as I don't have a dog by that name.

Clearly but what has this got to do with a mobile network ? I'm sure if I don't know many others don't including the poster higher up.

Never mind silly brands I wouldn't buy any t-shirt etc displaying a brand name why should I be a walking advert for them.

What about symbols such as Nike and Puma?

Incidentally, if Bedfords had the answer as he says then it would be 'N202C02H20 & Pollution' as the brand name.

O2 is two oxygen atoms chemically bound to form an oxygen molecule

So presumably the bind of the 2 atoms is a simile referencing the communication of 2 people

OMO is a brand (washing powder) that as a 10 year old, circa 1960, I used to find very amusing but ....

Poo Poo smoothies I'd be reluctant to try (and not only because I'm not a smoothies fan)
Grace's "cock flavoured soup mix" would also be a big NO NO for me (but chacun à son goût)

How do you know she doesn't talc around that zone as well, LeadBelly? She might not want chapped thighs. Last seen on the Burnley Mechanics stage about 30 years ago. I used to think she was quite sexy but I've gone off her.

Agreed.
If the two molecules were bound to each other they'd be able to communicate without needing a mobile phone, wouldn't they.

Anyhow, I had trouble trying to convince the girl in the mobile phone shop that even if 02 was £1 a month cheaper or whatever it was, that I would never take out a contract with them as they sponsor the English rugby team. .......

Then again there are some brand names for products that so exactly what they say on the can; I'd love to buy a can of this stuff:

It was actually because oxygen is essential to life and they believed the services they provide are also essential to life. Frankly, I disagree.
