It sounds kind of cute (well, we
think so) |
| 2 |
It was one of the few names that
wasn’t already registered as a fruit juice trade mark |
| 3 |
We think it pretty much sums up
what our juicies and crushies and smoothies are all about. (As
in nude, naked, as nature intended.) |
| 4 |
The name’s pretty short (which
compliments Tim – who’s pretty tall). |
| 5 |
We’d heard that the phone number
1-800-GO-NUDIE had suddenly become available. (Call it – it
really works!) |
| 6 |
Having the name nudie will make
it easy to come up with themes for our Christmas party |
| 7 |
Answering the phone “Hello
nudie” is much more fun than how Tall Tim used to answer the
phone |
| 8 |
It was about time the web
address www.nudie.com.au was put to good use |
| 9 |
Going into a store and asking
for a nudie is a great way to break the ice |
| 10 |
The idea of having a juice
company name that doesn’t sound like a juice company name is
fairly unique |
| 11 |
The copywriter who wrote the
labels was just using the term 'there are actually 37 reasons we
called a nudie a nudie' as a figure of speech |
| 12 |
Now it’s up to me: the lesser-paid but vastly more talented ‘web dude’ to come up with a
seemingly endless list of reasons (how many to go?) |
| 13 |
What I might do from here on
is give you some reasons for other things, like reasons why the
man (if you can call him that) who wrote the labels would do
this to me |
| 14 |
Perhaps he gains a sense of
superiority from making others work harder and longer than he
has to . . . |
| 15 |
Particularly doing demeaning
tasks . . . |
| 16 |
Like coming up with an
additional 34 reasons why something is called something |
| 17 |
I mean, who put this much
thought into naming anything? |
| 18 |
Ask your mum and dad one of
these days. How many reasons are there they called you your
name? |
| 19 |
How many reasons do you need to
call something a something? |
| 20 |
For my money, the first 3
reasons a nudie is called a nudie are pretty weak anyway |
| 21 |
That whole ‘as nature intended’
thing has been done to death |
| 22 |
Excuse me for getting cynical
but, hey, I’m dying here |
| 23 |
I’m suffering . . . and you’re
still reading. Why? |
| 24 |
I know that whole ‘you’re still
reading’ thing has been done to death . . . |
| 25 |
(and pardon me for repeating
myself in the ‘done to death’ thing) |
| 26 |
In fact, don’t pardon me. Tell
your hard luck story to the copywriter who came up with this '37
reason' thing |
| 27 |
Send complaints to
labelwriter@nudie.com.au |
| 28 |
Tell him that 3 reasons would
have been plenty – less is more |
| 29 |
I bet even if you tried you
couldn't stop reading the rest of this list |
| 30 |
Try stopping yourself, it is a
good exercise in discipline |
| 31 |
Ok, try a bit harder……… |
| 32 |
Forget trying, discipline, or
even thinking about any form of restraint |
| 33 |
Go crazy – read the last few –
it will give you a sense of satisfaction |
| 34 |
Nowhere near the type of
satisfaction a nudie* gives you, though |
| 35 |
*And I am talking about nudie –
the drink |
| 36 |
It is always good to end on a
high note |
| 37 |
It really is the best and
freshest juice you can get short of popping around to Tall Tim’s
house around breakfast time |
