Eat the kuku, Nunu! Tfoo!

Before anyone bitches:

Yes, I know it's dangerous to drive and take pictures at the same. Yes, I know I could have endangered people's lives as well as my own. Yes, I know. Thank you for caring.

Take a close look at this:


Why do people do this?

I seriously need an answer.

Why would you take a brand like Johnson's and try to replicate it when you know you're going to fail drastically? And why call it "Nunu"? I understand that some Egyptians think it's cute to call their babies "Nunu" but I never fully understood where it came from.

If anyone knows, please tell me.

Did it sound nice to them? Or did they think that it was clever of them to call babies "Nunu" like some other Egyptians who idiotically decide to nickname chicken "kuku". Did they seriously think it would make their kids eat faster or better?

And the tagline! The tagline! Oh the shame!

"You keep the motherhood and we'll keep the softness".

I'm sorry, guys. That's the best-sounding translation I could come up with.

What the hell is wrong with these people?

Now I completely get why I'm so passionate about branding. I have an urge to make this country better. I realize that I will never be able to change the mentality and there will always be many "Nunu" brands on the market but hey, it wouldn't be such a fun country to live in if they disappeared.

I call meat "kuku" and i have no shame admitting it.
It's more appealing to the kids i guess...

the translation is closer to: you do the motherhood and we'll do the softness.
