Who the fuck in marketing named these...?

Hahaha.

The picture of the donkey in short-shorts almost seems to be saying "See, here they are!"
:D

And it proudly touts them as chocolate covered nuts...their marketing department is great.

Haha, I love Google image search. You can put in a completely innocent term like "candy" and it can give you some fun results.

That has got to be a case of "lost in translation." Or, at least, it doesn't seem intentional.

Oh, and the candy posing pouch, I want to laugh but I cannot muster it.

I would like it if that company really took it to the next level and had the donkey saying, 'Eat my balls!', or something to that effect.

Is there any info on where these are from?

Probably the Big Island of Hawaii. I've never seen it myself but, yeah, donkey balls. I think there are some trails you can ride donkeys on. That might account for that.

Weird.

I've had those, some friends of my parents brought them back from Hawaii a couple years ago. I'm pretty sure the people who named them got the joke.

Who the fuck in marketing named these...?I'm more disturbed by the use of Comic Sans on their packaging. Comic Sans screams unprofessional, even when you're selling Donkey Balls.

I'm sure it was all done on purpose.

Now, I'm sure they meant something along the lines of "Everybody's Crazy" or something, but I never get tired of talking about how delicious everybody's nuts are whenever I buy them.

I loved the commercial that went around a while ago for some new mixed nut thing. The line at the end was, "... an extraordinary nut snack," but unless you were really trying to understand it, the line came out sounding, "... an extraordinary nut sack." The first time I heard it I almost fell out of my chair.

They've since changed the wording to, "... an extraordinary snack." Too bad.

Edit: I think this is the one:
