While on vacation last week on the Atlantic I thought about those folks (some of you!) on the other shore. And yeah, I thought of that country whose name contains two soap names. You know who I’m talking about. Yeah, I’m talking about Ivory Coast. We’ve always had Ivory soap here in the US. But was it fair to Ivory Coast (or to Ivory Soap) to allow another company to name their product “Coast” when there was already an "Ivory"? A little insensitive maybe?
This did not end well for the country formerly known as Burma. They are now Myanmar. They no doubt got tired of hearing about the Burma Shave commercials in this country.
Don’t be surprised when Ivory Coast changes their name. Caress that for a while…
