Comments on: Crisps, slogans, gibberish: get to know all the new teams for The Hundred https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/crisps-slogans-gibberish-get-to-know-all-the-new-teams-for-the-hundred/2019/10/03/ Independent and irreverent cricket writing Wed, 21 Jul 2021 10:34:29 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.3 By: Gareth https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/crisps-slogans-gibberish-get-to-know-all-the-new-teams-for-the-hundred/2019/10/03/#comment-261179 Sun, 06 Oct 2019 13:27:39 +0000 https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/?p=22139#comment-261179 Late to the party here. Just one thought from it. I’m sure the cricket aspect will be quite enjoyable/of a good standard. My question is, does all this marketing guff (which I, and I guess most of this website’s readers don’t much care for. It doesn’t seem to make any actual sense, like it was written by someone who isn’t a native English speaker) appeal to women and children and make it easier for them to “get”?! Easier?!

Thanks Ged, that’s really cheered me up.

I much preferred it when I knew nothing about this competition. Now I’m starting to get a little bit sad.

Apologies, I guess that snack puns are somewhat workaday for you, “Hula” Hoopy.

David Warner and Steve Smith would play for the one sponsored by Cheetos.

There’s so much potential in this idea, I’m getting over-excited…sponsored by Frazzles.

I like that Ged, but how about I raise you Space Raiders? All the good astrologers agree that the real apocalypse will come from the stars.

In fact as a top-tier sponsorship deal these would even have worked as actual team names.

Manchester Monster Munchers vs Southern Space Raiders.

The Apocalypse’s snack product? Monster Munch, presumably.

It’s like I’m psychic or something. Probably “something”.
