Go get some VD
Would you drink something named "VD"...?
( Ad taken from Swedish Kamratposten #15 1963. I bet they had trouble if they tried to export it to the UK or US. Now hear this, youngsters: If you try this, be protected and don't swallow! )
Ha! I bet that won;t be showing up in our IKEA cafeteria anytime soon!
ReplyDeleteMan, that's a chirpy ad... @_@
ReplyDeleteOn a sidenote, I once saw a Japanese sports drink named TBC.
In Swedish, it's kinda funny, but in English apparently tuberculosis is abbreviated TB, so slightly less so... =S
By the way, VD in Swedish is short for "Verkställande direktör", "Management Director".
ReplyDeleteStill a rather strange word choice...
