Non Running funny:
"...Wal-Mart announced that they will soon be offering customers a
new item: Wal-Mart's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail
chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of California, to produce
the wine at an affordable price, in the $2-5 range.
Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of Wal-Mart
brand into their shopping carts, but "there is a market for cheap
wine", said Kathy Micken, director of marketing. "Of course,
choosing the right name is important," she added.
Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name
for the Wal-Mart brand. The top surveyed names, in order of
popularity are:
10. Chateau Traileur Parc
9. W! hite Trashfindel
8. Big Red Gulp
7. World Championship Riesling
6. NASCARbernet
5. Chef Boyardeaux
4. Peanut Noir
3. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!
2. Grape Expectations
And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine:
1. Nasti Spumante
The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either
white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel). This is a speciality in
Oregon and Wisconsin!
