Tiger's Blood

Admit it, when you hear of Tiger’s Blood you immediately know that it is a snow cone flavor and not literally Tiger’s Blood. Everyone knows this. It is one of the greatest treat names in the history of treats. Have you ever been to a place that serves flavored shaved ice treats, either with or as a kid, and not ordered Tiger’s Blood over blueberry, fruit punch or the hundreds of other boring sounding snow cones? This leads me to ask this one question, why stop with the clever snow cone names at Tiger’s Blood? I don’t have the greatest memory, but as a kid I remember ordering Tiger’s Blood snow cones. Everyone who has ever had a snow cone has ordered it at least once. So why did the snow cone marketing geniuses quit with the one awesome flavor name? Did they just peak with the first suggestion? I think the flavor naming meeting must have went something like this:

Characters:
Snow Shack Boss: The Juice
Employee A: Bench
Employee B: Gooch

The Juice: Good work Bench. Tiger’s Blood is a great name for a treat. Every kid in the world will order it at least once. Next on the list is Black Cherry. Any suggestions…..nothing….no one…no one has a single idea.

Bench: Why don’t we just call it Black Cherry?

The Juice: Ok. In fact, we should just call all the other flavors by what they actually are and call it a day. HEY! Gooch! PUFF PUFF PASS, quit bogarting the reefer!
(You know they were a bunch of stoners)

Bench: Should I trademark Tiger’s Blood?

The Juice: (Cough Cough) What the hell is a trademark? Here hit this and we will worry about it later.
