Nothing much to add, really, just that everyone in the office walks around saying "mmm Danone" to everything and I don't see why I have to be the only person in the world to suffer.

The english voice over in the ad calls the brand 'Dan-Known', and the French voice in the jingle says 'Dan-on'.
Likewise Michelin tyres are advertised as by 'Mitchel-in' as apposed to 'Mich-lan'.
Yes the british are generally piss poor at foreign language but why anglicise european brands?
P.S. what a strange office you must have.

Oh and "top six" and "old-style apps". The latter two are just buzzwords that they have picked up from management meetings and are now repeating endlessly. i begin to understand why those american office workers go berserk with automatic rifles. |
