LG Product Name, or Alfred Hitchcock Film Title?

GeekSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:00:17 -0700

When I did my last quiz, Cell Phone or Perfume Name?, I think we both noted that the primary offender with their one-word, splashy names is LG.

The electronics company uses these names for their cell phones and other tech products to titillate and appeal to customers. You know who else did that? Alfred Hitchcock.

It seems like LG has been taking notes from the seminal horror-film director, but thankfully, there's no "LG Psycho" yet.

See if you can pick out which is which!

Cell Phone or Perfume?

GeekSugar — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 07:45:46 -0700

As the Gadgettes pointed out in their NPR interview this week, manufacturers market to ladies one way, by giving their products flashy and recognizable (therefore, girly?) names like "Chocolate" or "enV" instead of something like VX12345.

I feel like this has gotten a little out of control, and now there exist some phones whose names sound more like a cologne you would spritz on your wrist, rather than put up to your ear. Take my quiz and tell me which is the name of a cell phone model, and which is the name of a perfume!
