Been trying out some new food places during the holidays, which got me thinking: I'm sure Crepes Bonaparte serves great crepes and all, but... you have to admit, the name is pretty disappointing. I mean, you can't be a really good food truck unless you've got a good pun as your name, you know? Now, if they'd decided to sell ice cream instead and been Neapolitan Bonaparte, I would totally get behind that.

a pizzeria called you want a pizza me?

[tarotcards]

A video game themed bakery called Nintendough.

crepes sounds like crap though
you can't really work with that

'we're crepes-y not crappy'
'you'd be crepes not to eat here'
'shovel down that crepes'
'we blow the crepes-y competition out of the water'

[lastcomfort]

And with kids come their parents...! Who doesn't like ice cream?

[grumpei]

or a musical themed one called dough re mi

[grumpei]

well probably people who are lactose intolerant
but every food will have at least one person who doesnt like it i bet

[grumpei]

crepe sounds a lot more like creep than crap to me
though i guess that's not really much better from a business standpoint
youre crepeing me out is still a weird name for a place

[lastcomfort]

Coconut milk ice cream!

[blind_badass]

Or if your ice cream establishment was called Best Served Cold or somesuch.

[thebeastwithout]

crepes are a low-tier dessert anyway

you've gotta go with the traditional stuff - banana splits! no one does those anymore

[grumpei]

coconut has a bit of a funny flavor to it
dunno if the ice cream is the same

[grumpei]

eh i tend to pass on those
not a huge fan of bananas you know?
but show me a good ice cream sundae and im all over it

[grumpei]

i feel like id probably have to go with a more obvious pun
people would probably just take it literally in that case

[thebeastwithout]

yeah see it's people like you who are killing the splits industry

think of all you can work with

'going bananas'
'splitsville'
'split the difference'

[tarotcards]

Now that's a musical I knead to see.

You're pretty good at this.

[grumpei]

thanks
puns are kind of my specialty
youre not too shabby yourself

[grumpei]

a store selling only banana splits would probably struggle to get enough business though
youd have to open a general ice cream store and put that on the menu as one option
and i mean its pretty easy to make good names for any ice cream product

every day is sundae
mint to be
its sherbert day
sprinkled with love

[lastcomfort]

Have you never had it before? It's very good especially if you make like s'mores flavored ice cream.

[grumpei]

nah i havent
not a fan of coconut in general so never gave it a try
if it tastes more like smores than coconuts it might be worth a taste though

[lastcomfort]

Oh, well that would make sense then. I know they make soy ice cream too and it can be really tasty if you mix it with like peanut butter.

[grumpei]

guess im just boring when i get ice cream
i usually just go for chocolate or a sundae or something
havent tried all these new alternatives

[lastcomfort]

It's good to know what you like, but it's nice to try new things too.

[grumpei]

havent grown out of the poor college kid mentality yet i guess

[lastcomfort]

I could definitely recommend some fun flavors, if you want!

[grumpei]

sure
id definitely take any recommendations into consideration
