San Diego Comicon

[Knar]

Anyone going to the San Diego Comicon?

[Jake]

I might for part of it. Maybe.

[Knar]

I plan to go on Saturday - I think. My friends and i have yet to find a hotel for that weekend.

What the hell is Knorr doing outside of the Netherlands? I thought that was a national product. Damn you Knorr.

And maybe I'll go to the con some day... when I'm invited to join a panel or something

[lailoken]

Knorr is duits.

[Roderick]

I figured as much when I strode past an entire isle of Knorr products when I went to the German supermarket just now. Still, it sounds like an awkward name in English. Hopefully Maggi will shy away from that market, or I don't know what travesty the people will make of its pronunciation.

[Kolzig]

Knorr products have been over here for decades or something like that. I've never used them though.

[Roderick]

Suspicious of European products eh? THIS MEANS WAR.

Seriously. Choose thine weapon.

[Nick]

Yeah I'm sure we've had Knorr stuff in the UK for a fairly long time. I think on the adverts they pronounce it 'Nor'.

Hmm, I checked my kitchen and found out that I have several Knorr spaghetti sauce mix packages in my cupboard.

[Roderick]

You're acquitted of your crimes, just like Michael.

[MrHoatzin]

Man, I derailed the thread just like that... We had Knorr soup cubes as I was growing up in Belgrade. Pronounced it kh-NOHRrr in Serbian.

[Roderick]

In the Netherlands, we can't pronounce it. We just put up this face: , and everyone knows what you mean.

I'm not going this year, but I went last year...I had to work the show, but dear god, it was awesome. Overweight jedi as far as the eye could see.

I wish I were going this year. It's like the nerd capital of the world.

Okay, I didn't need to know about the overweight jedi. I went to first Sci-fi, Fantasy related Convention this year, but I had to work it, and well, my eyes still burn! It burrrnnnnnssssss!!!

*waits*

Yep, still burns.

[OftenK]

Heh heh. Knar. That's like Knorr, only different.

[Knar]

When I chose the name, I was hoping more to sound like K'nar.

Anyhow, is Knorr some big thing in Europe because I only know it as chicken buillion cubes in the US.

[Dingo Chavez]

This thread made me hungry. I guess I'll go get some Knorr tomato soup.

I would like to go to Comicon, but I'm in the wrong continent (the story of my life, sigh).

[Dingo Chavez]

You're acquitted of your crimes, just like Michael.

Speaking of which, Conan O'Brien had an hilarious "news article" about that with Triumph.

Knorr products suck.
