The sailor's curse

[meglo91]

Like most grocery stores, Giant stocks its own house brand of most things. Today as I was shopping for party supplies, I noticed that there was a Giant brand of tortilla chips. They are called Festingos.

I know what they were going for -- Festingos sounds like 'festival' and also like 'fiesta', which are good associations. And the 'o' on the end

Alas, this is untrue.
However, Festingos do have an entry in the Urban Dictionary. I knew I wasn't the only person that had noticed that they are hilarious.
