Trader Joes

[Gar For Archer]

How has nobody mentioned one of the best parts of Trader Joe's yet?

Namely that they randomly change the branding i.e. "culturally appropriate" ethnic names for various ethnic foods.

Off the top of my head:

Chinese food is "Trader Ming's."

(BTW: This shit is pretty good, like 2.5 meals worth of chicken for 5 bucks.)

Mexican food is "Trader José's."

And Japanese stuff is "Trader Joe-San."

... why ming, of all things? Zhou (even when mispronounced with a Z-sound instead of a soft J) would have been a better fit.
