I don't know how often ya'll go there, but have you noticed how funny TJ's gets with their store brand?

It's just Trader Joe's

Unless it's Mexican, and then it's Trader Jose's

or Italian.... Trader Giotti's

and then today I got some frozen mac'n'cheese, and it was labeled Joe's Diner. I had to look twice, but yes indeed it was a store brand!

Have you seen any other cool twists to the store label?

I have a box of frozen asian chicken for lettuce wraps that's from Trader Ming.

That's funny. I can't believe I've never noticed that before.

LMAO Trader Ming. I wil have to check that out when I'm at the store next. Wonder what they say for the middle eastern stuff like hummus and baba ganoush!

Trader Joe's has a brand of premade guacamole called "Avocado's Number"... named after Avogadro's Number. If you remember your Chemistry class, you know that Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10^23... well the front of the box even reads "While there aren't 6.02 x 10^23 avocados in each box" there's quite a few!

Totally above my head but I'm a PR/Marketing Major - I'm surprised I can still add frankly. My "enginerd" husband would appreciate that though.

6.02 x 10^23 is shorthand for writing 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
