Invented by Akbar Khan: The Honda Apology.

Found in the wild: Nutter Butter. The name on a package of peanut butter sandwich cookies sent me straight to Will & Grace: Will calls one of his boyfriends “Fluffer Nutter.” When someone else repeats it, he says, “It’s a little less special when you say it.”

On a pizza box: “Oven Fresh Hot Delicious.” Hmm. That brings certain vivid images to mind.

Compassionate Dentistry. As opposed to intentionally cruel periodontics.

Meow Mix: “Tastes so good, cats ask for it by name.”

Transcript: “Meow.”
