In the course of my job, I regularly find myself asking, 'is there some sort of governmental mandate that all daycare facilities and preschools are named by Marilyn Manson?' LITTLE KIDDIES. PEEK-A-BOO. CUDDLE TIME. BELLYRUBS. Okay, that last one was a doggie daycare, but still.

'soapy's choice' has been haunting me since pplains posted it, i'd love a longform oral history of how that name came to be

tbf, it was a repost of wmlynch's right above. I was just the one who decided it should be bigger.

pplains, Friday, 4 August 2017 18:20 (eight years ago)

soapy's choice was mentioned to me at a bachelor party and i immediately thought of this thread. we were trying to figure out if these people had just heard the title out there and had no idea what it was (but like look it up or something), or if they were just total sociopaths.

Saw a cupcake caterer van advertsing ARTESIAN CUPCAKES

to be fair it looked to be a middle-eastern company and something obv got lost in translation

but mr veg and i enjoyed pondering the possibilities of delicious cupcakes buried deep under the earth's surface just waiting to be tapped

Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 6 August 2017 23:27 (eight years ago)

I have an idea whose cupcake business that might have been

"Know Better" Realty here in Calgary - which works on one level, and is a terrible name for a business on at least two others.

Sorry, been awhile since I've stumbled across a macro.

brownie does that sign say Garfield Heights? I just want to make sure I never accidentally buy something from them.

Are they next door to Soapy's Choice?

pplains, Wednesday, 9 August 2017 18:28 (eight years ago)

After careful consideration, I think no business subsequently cited can outdo the very first name in this thread: Dog Barfs.

I just went through Scholes on the bus and noticed a takeaway called 'Wok Ever'

anvil, Monday, 4 September 2017 13:55 (eight years ago)

just saw "vape cod." so basic and inevitable but so good.

Doctor Casino, Monday, 4 September 2017 15:39 (eight years ago)

I was also very close to 'Guns and Roses' in Dewsbury, which sells guns and also flowers. But the bus went the other way

two weeks pass...

[redacted] started Num Nuts in her Minnesota kitchen. Her passion for cooking and love of simple, healthy foods led her to try roasting her own nuts at home. She experimented with many recipes to find one that she and her kids would like. Unfortunately, most all of the recipes resulted in nuts that were too sweet or too salty or simply unhealthy. Over time she developed a unique recipe and roasting technique that delivered just the right amount of sweetness and saltiness and allowed the delicious flavors of the nuts to shine through.

What she didn't expect was the reaction she would get from others. When she'd bring a bowl of her nuts to a party, the reaction was always the same: "Wow, these are really good nuts! I can't stop eating them!" Requests started flowing in, and [redacted] began to think that it would be fun and fulfilling to start making her nuts available commercially.
