Proud family name, there! There’s about 40 us in the world, and every Sagosen have been met by people asking “Soergosen? Sagmosen? Sagosa?” etc. Simple,yet very very hard name it seems!
i liked your avatar you had a few months ago. always reminded me of the guy of the fanta commercials (because of your hair back in the days) you always looked like you’re real bamboocha.
i found the fanta commercials about bamboocha always very cool.
Really? To me it seemed like a total failure at cool. A hasty idea thought of on a friday just before a deadline resulting in an cheap campaign with a too stupid slogan to catch on. Some of them are doomed to fail while some of the most inconceivable prevail.
Currently in Finland, every single person knows the slogan for a certain mobile operator and I trust every finn on the board remembers DJ Esko. But what about Ercci? Another sorry failure. I guess Finland really is too small for two product mascots trying to appeal to kids with the exact same trick: combining a currently-out-of-fashion (yokel, if you will) male name like Esko or Erkki with foreign ingredients like the DJ acronym or the letter C which isn’t normally used in the language.
Tell me about it. My last name is Dollin. It’s easy if seen on paper, but you try saying to people and having them understand. Then they misspell it all the time… Dolan, Dillon, Dumptruck.
At least with Foo? it’s all safe and on the screen. Worst people can do is leave the ? off the end. I’d rather be a question than a statement!
“Stay Fanta Free. Stay Bamboocha” <— Bad slogan for two reasons. It’s stupid and most importantly, people will read it as “stay away from fanta” instead of “stay with our diet version: Fanta Free” …I mean, how the hell could they miss that? (I actually checked this up and apparently its only called fanta free in the nordic region so I guess the nordic marketing people should take the blame for this.)
…then again fanta is a coca cola company. Have you seen their slogan during the winter olympics? “Live Olympic” WHAT!!!
I am, and I will continue to go out of my way in order to avoid products that is marketed by insulting my intelligence.
For swedish people I have another one: “Knorr - En del av fredagskänslan” Hahahahahahahaha!!! ingen dålig ambition. Lycka till Knorr! “Ska du med ut ikväll?” “Nej, på fredagar har vi alltid Knorr-afton… på lördag kanske”
as i’ve told i’ve never analized the commercial.
in german it says: “trinke fanta - sei bamboocha” what translates to “drink fanta - be bamboocha”
no freedom restrictions implied. it’s a damn commercial. they want you to grab their stuff… lol. i don’t get it.
