Spotted in the break room at work.
Somewhere in the world, someone decided to name a food product Pukka. Their marketing people, their packaging people, their distribution channel, and retailers all seem to have agreed this was a swell idea.
Must just be me.

Strange because it sounds like the slang term for vomit? Perhaps you're not aware of the colloquial British meaning of this specific word? Pukka means honesty, purity, integrity and implies a genuine quality. Or perhaps you knew this but think the potential for confusion overseas outweighs the positive connotations?

Thanks, Billy. No, I didn't know the British meaning. Makes sense.
