Que the new Coco? Or genius advertising campaign to sell barbeque sauce?
While flipping through some food magazines this week I found this ... Que: Eau de Barbeque by Pork Barrel Cologne.
Now, my grandmother told me that if you had your eyes on a pair of shoes, a dress, a necklace, etc. - and you woke up thinking about it - that meant you should find a way to buy it.
Well, this morning I woke up thinking about Que.
But I'm pretty sure that Manny (the less "grandmotherly" name that I made up as a toddler and she preferred) didn't mean for me to buy pork perfume.
These days, I think that it means you are supposed to blog about it.
So I tried to think of why someone might want/need to wear the smell of smoked pork.
1. Current cologne not cutting it, need something more "porky."
2. Dog and I not getting along well lately. We seem to have grown apart... maybe this will do the trick.
3. The new Justin Bieber cologne “Someday” was sold out.
I read that the creators of Que, Brett Thompson and Heath Hall of Pork Barrel BBQ, describe it as a “bouquet of spices, smoke, meat, and sweet summer sweat.”
Then I realized. Maybe it's not for women to wear.
And it made more sense.
PS: I still reserve the right to invoke the "Manny rule" if (when) I find a fabulous pair of boots this fall.
PPS: This cries out for a Top Ten List, but I ran out of time. Little help?
