The man said he needed Rooster brand peanut oil at the store.
I stared at the huge array of 2-litre size cooking oils. Local and foreign. No Rooster brand peanut oil.
But this one label came close. I stared at it again. And again. In disbelief. I turned to ask the man if this was what he was looking for : Cock brand pure groundnut oil.
Yes. That's the one. Why didn't he say so; it's Cock brand pure groundnut oil. Not Rooster brand peanut oil.
He muttered something about trying to be a little more polite with words in public. Oh Bah.
Somebody loves his product enough to name it we should respect it enough not to change it...
hahahaha.... ya. must respect the brand.
