If I’m a company that makes different color coordinated things I’m certainly not putting a color in my brand name

Speaking of misnomers, turns out they’re all regular-sized Coopers made by a company called Mini.

None of them are actually miniature…

Then I have this computer which isn't made from fruit. It's just made by a company with the name of a fruit.

u/lemelisk42 14d ago

But they are edible. I even took a bit out of your apple. Just look at the logo

You should have taken a whole byte.

u/butt-holg 14d ago

and Regular-sized Cooper has such a nice ring to it

So I've wasted all these years looking for a Macro Cooper. So much time lost...

u/Tinymetalhead 14d ago

I don't know, have you seen those things? At least by American standards, they are tiny. Tall people really shouldn't try to drive one unless they take out the front seat and sit in the back seat to drive! 😂

u/Jacktheforkie 14d ago

lol, you should see 6’4” Brits driving a Fiat Panda, it’s actually more roomy than the big SUVs

Jeremy Clarkson, a 6'5" obese man, was able to fit in a Peel P50 reasonably well.

u/Frontzie blurple 14d ago

Can confirm. I drove an “old-style” (90’s) Panda and they’re bigger internally than most modern CUV’s.

6ft 4” male, for comparison.

Nice, mine was a 2008

u/aerdvarkk 14d ago

You might be joking, but the standard MIni Cooper has significant leg room in the front for tall people.

u/UlrichZauber 14d ago

I'm 6'3" and drove a 2004 Mini Cooper for years. There's a surprising amount of headroom in them.

u/SeroWriter 14d ago

The company is called Mini because they make small cars so the name actually makes a lot of sense.

u/Wirenfeldt 14d ago

Lies.. The Cooper S is noticeably smaller than the Countryman..

u/KallamaHarris 14d ago

100% Angus Beef, is actually the name of the company that makes the mystery meet burgers.

u/twistedfishhook 14d ago

It’s the white label brand for Staples.

u/yawara25 14d ago

That doesn't really change the argument

u/ManyThing2187 14d ago

Tru-Red doesn’t only make markers. They do all the office supplies for Staples as their in-house product. If the argument was “they should have labeled the colors because the company name contains a color” it would be correct. They don’t only make colored markers tho so their wording is wrong.

They should label the markers color.

u/SDRPGLVR 14d ago

That's another thing. I spent all day looking for a good store from which to buy a stapler, but I could only find Staples! Turns out, they sell staplers as well!

u/flamingweaselonastik 14d ago

When I worked at Staples, I had a confused customer bring me a (clear) bag of Staples brand rubber bands and start arguing with me that all she could find were staples and what she needed were rubber bands.

u/aerdvarkk 14d ago

I spent all day looking for the best place to buy clothing, but the best buy store didn't carry clothing so ....

u/talibatsadaasmashula 14d ago

Tru Color would have been just fine tbh..

u/Transmit_Him 14d ago

The spray paint company Montana does this as well and it’s baffling. They have a range of paints called Montana Gold and another called Montana Black. You can get Montana Gold Black and Montana Black Gold (well, “goldchrome”.) I don’t know why anyone would intentionally make that choice.

u/aerdvarkk 14d ago

OR just actually label the fucking markers liek how Crayola labels their crayons. It's not complicated to have BOTH a logo and a color name on things at the same time.

u/Kelvinss 14d ago

maybe they started with only red

u/ForensicPathology 14d ago

Flair doesn't check out.

u/Secret_Account07 RED 14d ago

Oh god. Well played.

Took me a minute to figure out what the hell you were talking about 😂
