I must share this cos I’m dying with laughter every single time I think about it.
A particular girlfriend of mine (identity undisclosed to save her face) and I were receeing in the hypermarket for BBQ accessories and food, and me being extremely anal, insisted on buying ziploc bags (for some weird reasons). It being a hypermart, there are at least 10 different brands of ziploc and we wanted the cheapest since it doesn’t really matter as long as it serves its purpose.
After browsing through the humongous selection, we narrowed down to one that costs around $1.50 per box. I took down the price, and asked my girlfriend.
“What’s the brand?”
“Hmm… zippp locK.”
“Ya, ziploc, but brand?” (there were like SO MANY different brands, including house brand.)
“Zeeeeeeeep LOCK. ZIP lock? ZeeeepppLock!”
You should have seen the expression on my face. Totally priceless. I stopped writing, stared at my girlfriend with an incredulous look and…
“You know, pronouncing and emphasizing on the ZEEEEP doesn’t make it a brand!”
“Correct what, here says ZEEEP LOCK.”
In a small corner, I spyed a SC Johnson logo.
“Hello, the brand is SC Johnson.” *SMUG*
WAHAHAHAHHA!
So now you know, SC Johnson has the cheapest ZEEEEPLOC bag.
