I feel validated. I hate brands that mess around with spelling and syntax. I don’t even have a particularly strong grasp on grammar but it bugs me when people intentionally get it wrong in some awful grasping attempt to look down with the kids. Examples in the UK include Phones4U that I refuse to buy from on principle and a shopping centre chain called Intu which ruined the original branding of our local centre when they took it over.

This article is discussing company names, not product descriptors. Krispy Kreme can be called “Meat and Potatoes.” Plenty of “Maple” brand companies that make syrups with no maple in them, for example.

Also, I’m pretty sure that even if they called the individual doughnuts crispy, they aren’t going to get in trouble because they aren’t crispy.

“Cheeze” or “Chik’n” are legally required terms for plant based foods, though.

Well a lot of other slaughterhouses aren’t giving male chicks the creative outlet, the only thing they have is their choreography, are you implying we take that away from them?
