“The Martian Bananas Aren’t in til Next Week”
I’ve previously had some fun with Whole Foods’ somewhat preening labeling and marketing practices (see, “Stolen Bread“; “Conformist Grapefruit“).
OK, not “somewhat” — a lot.
In that vein, it’s hard not to poke a little fun at a display I saw while shopping yesterday labeled “Earth Bananas.”
It turns out that that’s a trademark name, not the bananas’ planet of origin.
Although, you’d guess that the latter’s true, too. 🙂
P.S.: Since when can you trademark the name of a planet??
