Old competition for new cleaning product, 1975.
When they made
a new cleaning product they held a competition amongst the factory
workers to find a new name and slogan. Several submitted ideas.
One
man was called to the office to give his suggestion.
He
said "Sir, I think we should call it Bugger"
"Well,"
said his boss, "I am not sure Mrs Smith shopping on the high
street would go for a name like that! Why call it Bugger?"
Man
replied: "It stands for Best Universal Grit Grime and Effluent
Remover".
"Well," said the boss "very
good but I still don't think it's acceptable."
"Shame,
said the man, "I even came up with a great slogan."
"So what
is it?"
"I
thought we could say, If Daz won't whiten it and Omo won't brighten
it, Bugger it!"
He did not win the competition but they ended up just calling it the "Finest Universal Cleanser Known."
