  1. Obviously the customers dont generally get the pun on the name. I can just imagine the marketing nightmare trying to sell something like that here.

  2. On the contrary, I bet the goths would love it. Just imagine the commercials:

    RANDOM VAMPIRE KID: I hate myself and want to die.
    (slips caustic soda into his Deeppresso)
    RANDOM VAMPIRE KID: But I’m gonna die with a bang!
    (drinks the concoction and rockets off into space)

    Come to think of it, wasn’t that in a Roald Dahl book?

    (The name is actually trying to point out the “deep” flavor of the coffee–the コク深, as the label says.)

  3. My first time in Osaka, Pokka had introduced a canned coffee called “BM”. After laughing hysterically at a jibaiki filled only with this dubious delight, I asked my friend the rhetorical question, “Does it taste like that, or does it give you that?” I bought a can for the laugh value, with the hope that some native English speaker would eventually advise the Pokka marketing guys as to the meaning of that particular euphemism.

    Then there was the fairly recent Sangaria “GOD” coffee for we caffeine-starved masses… ‘this saving blood, this life-giving can’ indeed!
