We sell spunk

Spunk 

Okay, so with a headline such as this, we're probably going to increase people to our blog several times over, although mainly the kind of people who are looking for other things.

Sorry to dissapoint you: Our Spunk is not what you want, dude, now click the back button pronto or we'll tell your mother.

In the seventies, the Danes had a brain child:  why not make a brand of sweets named after an episode of Pippi Longstocking where she names a new word?  How cool.  Yes, indeed, how cool.

Forty years on and the little packet of liqourice sweets (salty, by the way) are not that popular in Denmark - but we just did a bit of number crunching today and it seems SPUNK has gome up as one of our super top sellers of all times.

We wonder why the local British population finds this product so appealing...

Now, the word SPUNK actually has many meanings (from Wiki):

  • spunk quality of mind showing enthusiasm, boldness, energy, courage, determination and motivation.
  • a colloquialism for seminal fluid
  • Spunk (album), a 1977 bootleg album by the Sex Pistols
  • Spunk!, a 1993 album by Swamp Zombies
  • Spunk (play), a 1989 play by American playwright George C. Wolfe
  • Spunk Library, an anarchist Internet archive.
  • Spunk.nl, a Dutch e-zine
  • the pseudonym of Joan Stark, ASCII artist
  • a brand of sweets from Denmark.
  • See, you learn something every day.

    Now, seriously, click the "back" button and get back to what you were really searching for, dude.
