Poll: iSnack 2.0

[Insomniac55]

Now, as you may or may not know, Kraft recently introduced a new type of Vegemite.

Unsure of what to call it, they introduced it and then ran a competition to try and find a name. And the name they chose, out of over 40,000 entries, was:

iSnack 2.0

I mean, seriously Kraft, what the hell? iSnack? Maybe it's just me, but isn't that possibly the most pathetically unoriginal name possible?

Your thoughts?


(Also I searched to see if this had been done and couldn't find anything.)

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

iThink that has been done so much now that it is thoroughly dead.
iMean, adding i onto the front of something? pfft.

 

[justnotcricket]

Well, it's kind of a goofy name, but so are most product names, when you consider them by themselves. I guess it's more important how it tastes than what it's called?

 

[Piotr621]

After seeing this name, one has to ask one's self;

"What makes a snack i?"

This will promote great and deep philsophical discussion.

 

[Sketchy]

Yeah, it's absolutely terrible and when I saw the add I almost wanted to throw my remote through the TV.

I don't know why, it just REALLY annoyed me.

Did Apple Buy Kraft? WTF?

 

[Dys]

I really wish Apple could sue people for this iname fad, it isn't apple so don't do it :\

I looove Vegemite, I don't care what they call it, It still tastes awesome!!.

 

[Distorted Stu]

I heard Vegemite is basically the same as Marmite. So i instantly love it and iSnack is a gay name for such a great product.

 

[Eleuthera]

What happened to the 1.0 version?

 

[wolfy098]

Iam really getting bored of Iproducts

 

[CargoHold]

iAm going to kill the CEO of the next company to make an iPun.
Goddamnit. I like Vegemite, too.

 

[Emilie Diabolica]

seriously, why couldnt they make it something simple, like 'cheeseymite' or something...
dah, iHate pretentious companies trying to be relevant to the current generation..

 

[Noamuth]

I love Vegemite, but the new one tastes boring and the name is dumb as hell.

I am going to find the Apple fan that sent in that idea and punch them.

That's a valid point... in 5 years time, the 'iWhatever' concept will (hopefully) be dead and buried. What then? Hold another crappy competition?

I like Vegemite, but I think the iSnack 2.0 name leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

 

[Talendra]

Is pretty silly, just Vegemite 2.0 would have been nice.
Though Kraft has gone insane, they changed the name of peanut butter, after how many years? Insane!

 

[iJosh]

Vegemite?

What is this vegemite you speak of?

 

[wilted_orchid]

iThink it's amusing how important being "home with the downies" and the yoofs of todaisy it is fer Kraft. Silly buggers.

 

[Proteus214]

I used to have an Australian professor that used to rave about Vegemite and how it was banned in the states. Is it still banned? It sounds like tasty stuff.

 

[latenightapplepie]

I love Vegemite and this new product is an aberration. I shall never buy it.

EDIT: I found some group on Faceook bashing the iSnack (it hurts to type the name!) and someone there recommended calling it 'Arse in a Jar' instead. This is what I shall call it from now on.
