Couldn’t Make It Up If I Tried
May 21, 2008
While putting away groceries today, I noticed that the manufacturer of the toilet paper I buy (Regina Rotoloni, in case you were wondering) is called Soffass.
Soffass, people.
Am I the only one who is slightly amused by that?
Is it coincidence?
Or sheer marketing genius?
The world may never know.

I love it. That gives me something else to look for at the grocery next time I’m in Rome.

Love it.

I’d love to see the commercial that goes with it!
“With Soffass…”
“Since I have Soffass at home…”

haha. Yes I too would love to hear the marketing campaign behind this one.

Yay! Good to see your blogging again. So, does that mean anything in Italian or just purple marketing fun/play-on-words for English speakers? That’s funny. At first I was thinking sofas, then I got it–soft a$$. (Duh!)

HAHAHA - that is hilarious! I kind of hope it’s not on purpose - that makes it even funnier. however, either way is greatness!

Ah, the Italians - they just have a knack for language

This has rendered me speechless!

Well, Soffass is better than Hardass.

That is classy! Just as good as the one I spotted for a gas company called “Pass Gas”. Can you believe it?!?

My favorite brand of toilet paper is “Shitbegone”. No, this is not a joke. I actually saw it for sale at a shop in Brooklyn!
