Reminds me also of a shop in Sydney, going by the catchy name of I.B.I.S. Nothing seemingly wrong there – but somewhat tragically it stands for ‘International Best Image Shop.’
King Willy: I like how the business partner of Very Premium is the catchily named ‘Pro-Tent’, which has (as far as I can see) absolutely nothing to do with camping. And why do they have ‘bags’ in their title?
Colonel: I once tried the Extra Superior Very Premium Crackers. Man those things are good.
C’mon Rev, these poor people are just trying to get a leg up into the first world – whatever that is…

We sometimes save money by buying the “[not really] **PREMIUM**” crackers.

Joey: Oh, I dunno. I’m quite fond of understatement in advertising.
Yeah.
Like “Good enough to settle for.”
Or “They’re OK. I guess.”
Its nice but they would have been better with “Super Premium” or the always popular “MEGA-Premium”
Personally, I no longer purchase a product if it doesn’t have the word “MEGA” somewhere in the packaging. Why settle for less?
Good point Ram. MEGA definitely trumps ‘very’. With the added implication of more food!
“Th choice of 4 outta 10 discriminatin shopprs!”
Why not Better than Best! OR Very Very Very, OR Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!
There is nothing good about cheese twists
