Weird Phrases

Is it just me, or do you notice weird phrases, titles and advertising? I've written a couple of times about a local alternative paper listing certain Mexican activities as "Day of the Dead Sugar Skulls." I wondered at first, now chuckle to myself, "What is a dead sugar skull?" I have a similar reaction at the car wash businesses that advertise "HAND CAR WASH." I don't have a hand car, I think, remembering the gandy dancers pumping away down the railroad tracks. The most recent entry into this silliness is a product from the Glade company, "Car Scented Oil." Who wants to their home to smell like a car, I ask. Do they also make the Fragrance Story Disks?
