Brand name confusion

Rubbermaid is a very stupid can potentially be considered a confusing brand name, because most some non-native speakers of English will think of inflatable female love dolls when they hear this brand name ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.70.32.136 (talk • contribs)

Would you like this to be mentioned in the article? --Van helsing 10:48, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I actually never considered the concept before I saw his comment. It's pretty funny, but I don't think there's a need for it in the article.Bobzchemist 15:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

It's not only non native English speakers. British people find the name hilarious too. Americans don't react in the same way because Rubbermaid is such a familiar and long established brand there. --Ef80 (talk) 10:38, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
