muyongshi Posted October 15, 2013 at 05:21 PM Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 at 05:21 PM I was standing on the bus today staring at an add for those smoke hoods for the kitchen. It's a fairly famous brand (at least here) called 方太 and it's English name is Fotile. Now I think it's quite obvious why I'd never buy it, it'd be an utterly futile thing to do. On the other hand, I have alway thought Haier sounded like a German brand (which I'm sure it is probably only me who thinks so) so it is on my list of go-for brands. (In case you haven't figured it out, my post is mainly humorous…) I would love to see a list of brands people like/don't like for either funny or serious reasons!

dnevets Posted October 16, 2013 at 12:29 PM Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 at 12:29 PM When shopping with the missus I've noticed a girl's clothing brand called "scat"... Since their logo is a cat I'm going to assume it's actually called S-cat, but when it's emblazened across T-shirts etc, it's always just.... scat. Nice.

JustinJJ Posted October 16, 2013 at 01:22 PM Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 at 01:22 PM Hotwind and Wanko are also interesting brand names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muyongshi Posted October 16, 2013 at 03:03 PM Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 at 03:03 PM Any idea what Hotwind makes? Would be appropriate for heaters, hair dryers, possibly microwaves, and TV's programmed to US Politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gato Posted October 16, 2013 at 03:36 PM Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 at 03:36 PM "Casarte" is a line of home appliances, but that name reminds me of a certain painful surgical operation whenever I see it. http://www.casarte.cn/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic_Duck Posted October 18, 2013 at 02:28 PM Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 at 02:28 PM There's Lukfook (六福) Jewellery, which I always parse as "look fuck jewellery" when the name catches my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muyongshi Posted November 14, 2013 at 09:01 AM Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 at 09:01 AM 前锋 is a maker of water heaters and ventilation systems for stoves. Quite popular here in Sichuan. The Chinese name is great, but the English, Chiffo, for some reason makes me always want to start scratching and find some anti-itch cream.
