It’s a fact and it’s given that we Filipinos are known not only for the trait of being hospitable but also to the fact that we are funny and creative.
It has its perks, to be honest. In this time where businesses are thriving and customers are so done with anything dull, we cater and adjust to their needs. What better idea to improve a business and have a name for yourself that will ring the bells to the ears of your customers and potential consumers?
Here’s some funny Pinoy businesses that actually exist (or not):
EMILY IN PARES
Based on the Netflix television series starred by Lily Collins, this pares house that is standing on a food truck went viral for its hilarious catch and inspiration.
This food business introduced a truck that has a ’70s-inspired design with neon-lit “Emily in Pares” sign as a finishing touch. It is indeed a concept from that tv series but in here, their dishes are very affordable. The ever-favorite, pares with rice, is available for P40. You can get a bowl of mami or papaitan for P35, and lugaw for P25.
COCO MARTEA
Coco Martin’s fans, where you at? This milktea shop located at Imus, Cavite surely knows how to make their customers chuckle.
It’s an effortless name for a shop but will make sure it will keep you going as you remember this, the funnier it gets.
GRILL OF THRONES
Valar Morghulis, GOT fans! Grill of Thrones is here to serve you with sizzling meat in High Valyrian. They offer a variety of food like sizzling dinakdakan, sizzling crispy chicken, sizzling crispy pata, and many more.
Fans will recognize this at first glance—so creative and you know, very much resemblant. This is located at Streat: Maginhawa Food Park, Quezon City.
SPATIFY
For health and wellness, what are the odds that we name our business into a very witty and trendy app for music that is kind of cool right?
Spatify is located at Rosales, Pangasinan and it’s a spa center that will nurture your spa and rejuvenating needs. It matches the theme with ‘Spotify’ – having those sleek green and black background, almost alike in shapes, colors, and logo.
EGG SHEERAN
Located at Butuan City, Egg Sheeran is an egg store where you can order fresh eggs of different kinds.
This was built around 2017—a tip to the trend where people made Ed Sheeran-themed Easter eggs in 2017, the same year that the UK singer’s hit “Shape Of You” topped charts.
SIOGO
These color themes might be familiar but it’s not what you think. This siomai business, “siomai on the go” uses the same tagline the hotel Sogo uses— “so clean, so good”.
One thing is for sure, there’s lady hiding her face behind a fan here for its logo, only a happy-looking dumpling surrounded by siomai.
CONCLUSION
Business owners see this as an opportunity to gather customers in and out of the vicinity. People love the trends and they love things that are way funny. So, when things like these ones are uploaded on social media, people will burst in laughter as they are all relatable and extra funny.
This type of trend will never be out of style as emerging movies, apps, games, can be used too to incorporate your own brand or business as long as it’s not leading to the intention that will hurt the main source.
