Get the Republic mug.A genuine technical term used in advertising, often abreviated to "two c's in a kitchen". This unbeleivably offensive term relates to any advert based around two people discussing something for the purpose of a camera.
The origins of this are based in early washing powder comercials where two people would say something like "Oh, how do you get those whites so bright?". Apparently even in the early days people found it hard to keep a straight face on set.
Now there are several pastiches, including two c's by a washing line, two c's in a bar, in a car, anywhere.
In short, two people discussing something pointlessly and in an artificial or clearly staged manner for the benefit of onlookers, sometimes in irony.

Dude, I just had to sit through a party political broadcast with a staged interview. It was so totally two c's.

Get the Two C***s in a Kitchen mug.Dasani is Coca-Cola's bottled water brand that apparently sells well in some markets. By using a new filteration technique similar to that used in cell function or dialysis the water is cleaned and minerals added.
Unfortunately on the UK market the product showed traces of bromate, a carcinogen, and was quickly withdrawn whilst it's original debate, it's oustanding price was still ongoing.
More expensive than many of it's competitors', and since this is just filtered tap water, not a good marketing ploy in a country with potable tap water.
Since other Coca-Cola ingredients such as caffeine, caramel, phosphoric acid and aspartame are seperately linked to issues including brain cancer, memory loss and decalcification of teeth and the fact they already produce Buxton water in a similary industrial enviroment, I'd say their long-term reputation for expensive sugar water and the like will not be harmed.

Get the Dasani mug.A brand of the world's biggest consumer corporation, Matsushita. Pioneered "organic edge design" in the late 80s, meaning that products started to have generic body like curves as oppossed to geometric designs.
Same company as Technics, National, Panavison, Panaflex and Pana-anything. Their equipment has been used in filming for ages.
Not quite as boring or planned redundancy compliant as other brands like Sony, whom tend to disable features on cheaper products and make less and less reliable laser pickups all the time.
Shop around before buying Panasonic, they only make a handful of really good products.

I have a Panasonic stereo with 400w PMPO in my Civic, which would be around 4w RMS in reality. Listen to my ghetto-bass with >5% THD at half volume.

Get the panasonic mug.Esteemed engine tuner based in Northampton, UK.
Previously confused as part of Ford Racing and Ford SVT because of their excellent rally successes with the Sierra Cosworth and it's derivatives including the RS200, whose insanely high performance meant most examples were written off and directly resulting in rally cars of its type being removed from the sport.
There are several "Cosworths" out there, including Mercedes and Vauxhall. Although because of the misconception these are Fords they never badge the cars as Cosworth; only Ford did this.
Audi are the current owners of Cosworth and their skill was involed in the Audi TT.
Yes. The Escort Cosworth was really a special short wheelbase Sierra with an Escort looking shell. Real Escorts have subtely different measurments.

The RS500 was called as such because of the 500 units that had to be sold to pass homologation, it's just coincidence that you can easily tune them to 500Bhp.
Cossies, whilst not as advanced as EVO sevens and the like, have far more style and personality.

Get the Cosworth mug.Classic 80s dance anthem by Josh Wink. Re-released and remixed so very many times, and it always sounds new.
Insane treble keeps lifting, lifting, lifting you straight through the roof. You really have to hear this on a nice stereo to get the totally massive brain melting euphoric sort of thing.

Get the higher state of consciousness mug.Many Fords were made at the lovely Dagenham, Essex plant. Over the years these cars and their revolutionary levels of soft, soft body work and inconsistent panel gaps became known as Essex or Dagenham Dogs.
The Ford Fiesta 1.6S MK3 was one of the only models not made in Germany or Spain, but because of it's combination of trim and engine had to be completed in the SVT (Special Vehicles Team) department at Dagenham. Do not buy this model, it can rust it's chassis rails through in about 3 years due to a bizarre lack of rust proofing.
I would guess they just plain thought someone else had sealed that bit. Perish the thought they make Police cars and Ambulances there.
