Top 10 Foods With Funny Names



My inner child isn’t very “inner.” I laugh at fart jokes. I laugh hard. Hard enough to fart sometimes. Then I laugh at that fart. So when I see a food with a funny name, I giggle. Many on the following list are compliments of other countries that didn’t take the time to do the math on the English meanings. Well, the joke is on them as we eat their foods with silly names, laughing all the way to the nearest Taco Bell to gorge ourselves on “Fourthmeal” Gorditas. GO USA!

# 10: Dickmann’s

dickmanns-super-mini

Always be suspicious of chocolate from Germany. Dickmann’s, according to the manufacturer, is Germany’s #1 chocolate foam kiss. Aww… Mini Dickmann’s is just sitting there hoping you won’t notice Super Dickmann’s.

#9: Faggots

faggots

Faggots are like meatballs. They are popular in England, and are usually made from the nasty bits of pigs and sometimes cows. I ordered these in a restaurant once (The Spotted Pig in New York), and I blushed. Thank goodness the lights were dim. I’m certain they put “Faggots” on the menu to mess with patrons’ heads. They could have just as easily called them “meatballs.” What a bunch of… well, you know.

#8: Cock soup mix

cock-soup-mix

Ah, the humble yet effective penis joke. Don’t worry. There are plenty more where this one came from.

#7: Bimbo

bimbo-bread

Residents of Los Angeles know this Mexican bakery well. Bimbo pastries are in every gas station and convenience store in the Southland, so it’s easy to ignore after a while. But, come on! It’s a cute little white bear climbing on a sign that says “Bimbo.” That’s comedy, friends.

#6: Big Nuts

big-nuts-chocolate-bar

You have to admit that the nuts do look pretty big. This 4th grade giggle comes our way from Belgium. Thanks waffle people!

#5: Fart Juice

fart-juice

I have been led to believe that “fart” means “luck” in Polish. So then what if this drink gives you gas? Then it becomes your lucky fart juice. Take that Poland (they need to be knocked down a peg anyway).

#4: Drysack sherry

dry-sack-sherry

This one is mainly funny because the bottle is so fancy. I hope like hell they serve this at the next bar I go to. “Excuse me, do you have a good, dry sack?”

#3: Dickmilch

dickmilch

Dickmilch is a German dairy product similar to buttermilk or yogurt. It is also the fifth male anatomy joke on this list. Don’t worry, ladies, we have jokes about your parts too. Behold…

#2: Jussipussi

jussipussi

“Jussi” is a Finnish name, and “pussi” is a word that means something like “bag.” So, no big deal. Just don’t forget to bring the Jussipussi to our next dinner party.

#1: Spotted Dick

spotted-dick

Admit it. You know that it would have been irresponsible for me not to put this as the #1 food-with-a-funny-name of all time. If you don’t believe me, just ask the Welsh municipality that just renamed the popular pudding “Spotted Richard” because they were tired of all the giggling.

    @Joel: I’m glad you enjoyed. It was a hoot to write. There are so many more foods with hilarious names that it was actually pretty hard to narrow it down to these 10. Thanks for visiting the site!

    This list made me, literally, lol at work.

    I bought some Mini Dickmann’s in Germany purely for the lulz. They have drawings of the “dickmann’s” on the back of the package that look like the end of a real like dickmann, if you know what I mean.

    I especially like the Dickmilch package. On the white take it say something like “Just like in grandma’s time”, meaning it’s good, old fashioned Dickmilch! None of that newfangled stuff!

    Okay, I admit it. I love Spotted Dick.

    It’s chewy, gooey, melt-in-your-mouth flavour, with currants that ooze yummy juice.

    Now everyone’s had their laugh and wants to say they’ve tasted Spotted Dick and love it as much as I do… this is where I buy my Spotted Dick.

    Hahaha, I’ve been sitting here laughing out loud for the last few minutes (and I know Chris is in the other room thinking that I’ve lost it :)) Thank you Drew :)

    Haha, these are funny. I once went to a restaurant where one of the desserts was a fusion of spotted dick and sticky toffee pudding. They named it “Sticky Richard”.

    you missed a really good one from Finland. In the same vein as Jussipussi, the bags of potato chips in Finland are either Mega Pussi (large) or Mini Pussi (small). Pussi in Finnish just means bag. But is hilarious in english.

    We have a few mexican super markets in our town and we have “bimbo” trucks all over the place.

  9. Comment by Funista | 2009/11/15 at 03:55:31

    Fart does mean Luck or (Good) fortune in Polish. I almost caused my Polish friend to drive into a ditch from screaming ‘Pull over, pull over’ so I could get out and take a picture of a restaurant called Fart. I am such a child! Love it.

    Just saw a sign in a local supermarket that said, “Amish Breasts–$2.79/lb. They were pretty small…
