If I had Chicken Tonight last night, does that make it Chicken Last Night or does it keep its name but remain on the wrong day? I'm not entirely sure.. maybe philosophical debate time?

If I had Chicken Tonight last night, does that make it Chicken Last Night or does it keep its name but remain on the wrong day? I'm not entirely sure.. maybe philosophical debate time? Well....If I said that I fancy Chicken Tonight tomorrow night, then I'd be fancying Chicken tomorrow night. Therefore, Chicken Tonight is false advertising as I'd argue that you should use it on the day you by it. Having said that, it's made in a factory weeks/months before it hits the shelves so should it not be used on the day of production. Maybe it should be named 'Chicken One Night This Week'? It would mean a little change to the awful theme tune they use but it would satisfy my issues with the product. However, what if you don;t use it one night in the week? What if you have it at lunch time? Maybe it should just be called Sauce for Chicken. Plain & simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Sauce would remove the slightly intrusive 'for', but would then suggest to the consumer that the sauce was made out of chicken and not for the explicit and specific purpose of being served with chicken.

Hmmm.Fair point. Therefore, I propose that it is renamed as 'Sauce to use with your chicken'. However, I can still see two problems with this. Problem 1) What if you use the sauce with another meat? Turkey for example. Solution: Just call it 'Sauce'Problem 2) Some people keep chickens and may not which to use the sauce with a live chicken (for whatever purpose). Solution: Call it 'Sauce to use when cooking food'. Simplicity is the key here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only slight problem I can see is that Chicken Tonight is made to be served with chicken, so the flavours are made to go with chicken etc. If you start eating it with other food, ie the Rev's cheese sandwich, it wouldn't go as well. (although I think this theory should be tested.. could someone check if they actually do go? Rev?)Your second point is also very worthy and valid. But then, 'Sauce to use when cooking food' doesn't quite trip off the tongue as easily as it could. We need something snappy and catchy, for use in tv commercials and the like. Chicken Tonight certainly has its merits (ie forces people to believe that they will be having chicken that night, and therefore buy it) but for the aforesaid reasons it makes no sense. Agh, I'm confusing myself now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although I think this theory should be tested.. could someone check if they actually do go? Rev?)Personally, I'm not too familiar with the goop in a jar that is currently called 'Chicken Tonight' as i'm competent enough to make my own sauces. However, if for example, there is a wine & mushroom sauce, this could be used with other meats &/or veg. Maybe the answer is to have one utilitarian sauce for all food types?! By the way, did you know that Communism started with just four people in a room?! Your second point is also very worthy and valid.
