WHAT'S IN A NAME

I just realized that everyone had updated their blog after the Easter holiday. So I now feel compelled to update mine.

When reading some of the response to blogs, I read one from Adrian with reference to what I believed was a grocery store.

OMG... How could anyone, name their food business ...."Ralph's"... Who would ... (if given a choice of other places).... actually shop at a place for food called "Ralph's" Or am I the only one who knows about vomiting to be called ralphing?

Wow, I shopped at Ralph's (yes, it is a grocery story in CA) for a year and never thought of it that way. Thanks for that image.

Adrienne said...

Thanks ever so much for that visual. Thats the main place I shop cuz they double my coupons! YIKES! Now what am I gonna do? lol

Its easier to shop at Ralph's than to shop at the Piggly Wiggly.

I remember when, in the Detroit area, Food Fair was going to change their name to Farmer Jack. We laughed and said it was so stupid it would never last.

"Ralphs!...the grocery store for bulemics!"

FYI: Ralphs was bought by Kroger a few years ago but for some reason they kept the name Ralphs. Having been raised in Detroit I would have prefered the Kroger name especially after reading this posting.

Ahh yes, Kroger. That's a big name around these parts. Although I have heard people here call it K. Roger. Yikes...

Tim B. said...

I believe they call it K. Roger in jest, and then just become accustomed to it. As in Target being pronounced "Tar-zhay."

I know, I was just being CLEVER...

I am one of the ones that uses those two pronunciations actually.
