'Happy' - Non-English speakers love this word

I have noticed time and time again here in Germany that Happy seems to be the word that trumps all the rest when a non-English speaker wants to use English in their product, service, business that is not necessarily geared towards English speakers.

I have seen now:

- Happy Car Wash
- Happy Restaurant (Chinese food)
- Happy Day Orange Juice
- Happy Tree (Fruit comapny kind of like Chiquita Bananas)
and now Happy Drink (which is flavored milk, chocolate, vanilla, etc.)

I'm not really sure what the allure of the word "Happy" in a product is. I have never seen "Happy" used in a product that was created by a native English speaker, at least not that I know of. It reeks of not knowing English to me.

Anyways... not a rant. Merely an observation.

Happy meal
doesn't get more american than this

Happy Ending

You missed out Happy Digits (which sounds like a dubious sexual practice but is in fact a competitor to Payback).
Happy Tree Friends
Happy Finish?

is there not a toilet paper brand called Happy End??

There is a chinese take-out around the corner wher I live called Happy Food (she never looked happy though)

@wee mun yeah that's the Pennymarkt one, it's hilarious!!

There is, and it's great. It makes my end happy.

just go to http://t-info.de , click on yellow pages and type in "happy". You get about 40 pages of entries with the word "happy" in them.

Okay, yeah... happy meal. Pretty obvious one I missed... BUT Still!

They should just go the whole hog and call it Happy Arse

Well the American fad right now seems to be "Extreme"

So maybe Extreme Arse toilet paper over there then?

I thought pimping was the big thing just now...

extreme happy pimping... you know I think it may just work

LOL I wonder if Schleckers got it?

But that's not made by native English-speakers - it's French (read the label once).

As for silly product names, a couple other great Penny products are Chewmaster chewing gum
and Choc Blops breakfast cereal.

Wish they had a TV ad for Happy end bog roll...

I just been for a shit and now I've got a Happy End...

Could be a cracking little ditty

Choc blops, sounds like the morning after a ring stinger curry!!

Sorry won't be in work today, I have a bad case of the Choc Blops

Never actually bought it, as it did not look as if it would make my end happy

"It makes your end smile."

Or,

"Bring's the Happiness out of your end."

IMO, it's the only one that doesn't crumble when you wipe your butt (out of the cheapies - remember, I'm a student).

Maybe I will give it a try, I will grab a pack next time I am in Pennymarkt for my Curlie Wurlies

I normally go for the gold plated 50 quid a roll stuff, cos I am not a student

A certain food chain can also be thanked for the term 'going for a McShit' which means going into a fast food 'restaurant' solely for the purposes of using the toilet.

PP

yeah, 'Pimp my arse' toilet paper could be popular.

I still can't get past the company name 'pfanni', especially when used on their batter products.

How about "Happy Eater" then?
