Welcome to...

my expat journey from the suburbs of Philadelphia to the seaside city of Necochea, Argentina. Join me as I discover the joys, difficulties and frustrations of picking up and moving a world away. I'll also share my musings and reflections on Argentine culture and current events from the perspective of an extranjera.

Funny Argentine Brand Names

Please allow me to indulge in a bit of sophomoric humor.  Here are a few interesting products and/or stores that I have come across in Argentina.

Bimbo Bread

[Bimbo – bread and other baked goods]

McPussy Sponge

[McPussy – sponges and other cleaning products]

Barfy Burgers

[Barfy – preformed hamburger patties]

Mr. Cock, Bariloche, Argentina

[Mr. Cock, a children's clothing shop in Bariloche, Argentina]

Have you come across any funny or strange brand names in your travels?

I'm sorry, Katie, I'm submitting 'Barfy'. Get ready for 1M (yes, 1 million) hits from Failblog.org... :-)

I did submit the sponge to Fail Blog, but it appears it didn't catch on. We'll see if the burgers are more successful. lol
