Broken: Nuts Online slogan

Nutsonline_3I'm officially starting the club called "Then why'd you name it that?"

First entry: Nuts Online - "we're more than just nuts!"

Comments:

totally should have named it nuts exchange instead.

I wonder what Amazon thinks of them appropriating the "orange underline/arrow/smiley face" logo.

A family tradition since 1929? I don't think they had the internet back then.

They say they're more than just nuts... If you have a website devoted to nuts, that probably means you are just nuts. Plus, did you notice there seems to be no apparent actual brand name? Usually generic products wouldn't have their own websites. And while I'm ranting, even though nuts.com was probably registered already (I don't want to know how), isn't www.nutsonline.com redundant? We know you're online, stupid. Come to think of it, we already know you're a nut company. It could be www.triplexhotpsychicmortgage.com, but then I guess the company would lose a considerable amount of credibility. Oh yeah, and get rid of the freakin' www already. OK, while I'm off topic, there was this one time when...

Aha, they sell dried fruit too. I guess that constitutes the "more."

Posted by: ssssmemyself at December 10, 2005 06:54 PM

do they have wireless nuts?

Posted by: pyromaniac at December 10, 2005 08:48 PM

But it's working. Ultimately, that's what counts... at least to them.

Nutsonline.com? sounds like a bad site. or a site for squirrels.

Maybe it's a bad site for squirrels.

Posted by: Fayth at December 10, 2005 11:38 PM

Oh, and I looked. There is no "nuts.com"

Posted by: Fayth at December 10, 2005 11:39 PM

God I hope Ben and Fayth are the same person, otherwise that's really creepy. The Amazon smile/arrow thingy has the dimple/arrowhead on the other side, so it's not a complete logo ripoff.

this is broken too:

"Your search for organic returned no results, sorry."

No organic nuts? Never mind then.

mr mexico, did you ever consider that maybe fayth was quoting ben?

Posted by: valek at December 11, 2005 10:55 AM

I was quoting Ben. Maybe I should use quotation marks next time.

Posted by: Fayth at December 11, 2005 01:59 PM

Thats kinda funny, though I rember in yellowstone Moose Droppings, Bull Nuts, so not really broken. Plus, people will remeber something that is weird or odd. So the name "Nuts, We're more than Just Nuts," Would actully get ones attention, and maybe curiosty.

Posted by: Gamer at December 11, 2005 05:16 PM

what is broken is that you choose to overnight your nuts in figuring out the cost...

Posted by: infinity at December 11, 2005 06:58 PM

the whole "we're more than . . " or We're not just . . . "

Well change your #$*&%+@ing name then. these people spend 2/3 of there ads disavoing (just like the seceratary in mission impossible)

their own name.

You just made me laugh so hard I nearly choked from coughing.

Posted by: Faolan at December 12, 2005 12:23 AM

I didn't get that last one at first, but that's freakin' hilarious!!

"rid of the freakin' www already. OK, while I'm off topic, there was this one time when..."

The www is actually an important part of the address since it tells the browser you are wanting to access their website (port 80) and not their ftp site (port 21). What if they ran a nuts online ftp site instead?

Posted by: Mike at December 12, 2005 03:40 PM

We're more than just nuts! We're insane!

Posted by: Paul at December 12, 2005 06:37 PM

"What if they ran a nuts online ftp site instead?"

Then I'd use CuteFtp and Ftp some nuts to my computer.

There are BOOKS written by nuts:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0380973545/qid=1134592703/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-7473689-8492950?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

One of the funniest books I've read in a long time.

Posted by: Ted Nancy at December 14, 2005 03:40 PM

Are you the same Ted Nancy who sent those funny mails to companies and such and published them in books? Can I have your autograph?

Posted by: nickd at December 14, 2005 04:47 PM

The www is actually an important part of the address since it tells the browser you are wanting to access their website (port 80) and not their ftp site (port 21). What if they ran a nuts online ftp site instead?

Then that would be considered broken. Most web browsers will just add the http://www. part if you only do the something.com part. But on a commercial near here, the URL was displayed on the screen as www.keithbartonlaw . I mean WTF? Who cares about the www, but the .com is a very important part.

Posted by: Jello B. at December 14, 2005 08:33 PM

Mike and Jello B., you are both retards. "www." is just part of a name, like "Mike" and "Jello" are just parts of your name. The browser always connects to port 80 of the server for HTTP, and port 443 for HTTPS, because that's the way browsers work. Or you can specify another port as part of the URL, for example:

http://you.are.stupid.com:4100 would try to connect you to port 4100 at you.are.stupid.com .

I have read this entire thread and laughed at just about all of them. "nonutsforme" you can use ground shipping to lower that cost. I have purchased from them several times. I have enjoyed everything I have ordered. You all should give them a try. If you refer each other, you can grab a 10% discount. They do offer the largest nuts you will see, order the cashews and you will understand. Thanks for the laughs, I am going to just sit here, munch on my big bag of nuts and watch some clips from Brokenback Mountain.

Not sure if anyone will read this thread again, but we at the nut shop found it quite funny :-) Rather than attempt to explain of justify any decisions we made in the past, what I can tell you is that we are in the process of overhauling our website, logo, and packaging, so we are certainly open to suggestions!

Posted by: Jeffrey at February 2, 2006 10:04 AM

Hey Jeffrey, what's it like having a nut job?
