Funny food name

Don't panic! Before you run a mile from anyone offering you a bite of "COCK ON THE MOUNTAINTOP", check out the label at the bottom left of the box. It's actually Sweet Tamarind. But what a brand name for food, eh?

Of course, it doesn't help that that particular tamarind product looks the way it does...

You can unprotect your privates now, lads. There are limits to what people will eat. I hope.

(Seen in an Oriental grocery store. And posted just so people don't forget the meaning of my nickname!)

Well, of course this is just all too easy now. So many choices, I'll go with this one...

Can we assume anything by the targeted usage of an extra large font in this post???

Kirk, the simplest explanation is the right one here. Really. I was just trying to emulate the font size on the packaging itself. :D

Orange juice, I presume. Given the food theme... :D
