People wash their clothing in Barf every day
Gain detergent's ads tout closeness. Well, how close would you stand to someone whose clothes were washed in Barf? The word means "snow" in Farsi, and apparently the product is quite popular in the Middle East. Its cult appeal is also growing online, where product shots and one-liners spew forth like giddy projectiles. Is it the worst brand name ever? In places where Farsi's the dominant language, clearly not. In English, however, it presents possibilities for scandalously sophomoric wordplay rivaled only by the spicy Caribbean chicken bullion known as Cock Soup. Consider: If you spill Cock Soup on your clothes, you could end up Barfing it out in the wash. Well, you could, so grow up! Via The American Lady. |

Unless someone manufacturers some Poo Soap, or Diarrhea dishwashing liquid, not much can top Barf (and I can say with certainty that it is the cheapest Christmas gift ever, since a big box of Barf goes for about 50 cents) -- but I've also spotted Colon dishwashing liquid (Slovakia), Lippy handsoap (Slovakia) and of course what would England be without Fairy Liquid? (What is is with soaps, man?)
I once ate at the Puke Restaurant in the Czech Republic--it would have been a capital day if I'd been able to also wash my clothes in Barf that day, but god is not quite that good.
