Lumb–R–Grip™ — Ingenious product, terrible name

Nggghghghgb

I mean, come on: Get–A–Grip™, Sky Hook™, anything but the name they chose, which sounds like a treatment for low back pain.

Ah, well — a rose by any other name, I guess.

From the website:

    Corral Clutter!

    Lumb-R-Grip™ hooks let you hang sports equipment, luggage, cans of paint, garden tools, pool equipment and more.

    Amazing hooks grab onto any exposed timber and hold up to 200 lbs.

    Reclaim the space in your garage, basement and attic without buying expensive storage bins, baskets or crates.

    No tools needed to install, remove or reposition.

********************

"As seen on TV" so you know it must be good.

Eight for $19.98.

Actually, the quote is "that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." It is name, not word. That allshakespeare.com page has it wrong. As a matter of fact, if you follow your link, (www.allshakespeare.com/quotes/276) and then click on "jump to the quote in the text of the play" you'll see they have it correct there.

Yes, sometimes our memories mislead us, particularly if the misquote is more famous than the quote (like that other notorious rose quote, courtesy of Gertrude Stein) but sometimes they get it right.
