As a marketing bod I have been involved in some of this for a living - staggering really when you think about it!But companies need to call their products something - this is especially so when products are nearly identical and the company needs to differentiate thier products from nearly identical products. But it does get ridiculous at the extreme. Anyway here are my suggestions ;-)What about the Luteium Sandwich, lutieum is even more expensive than platium or even - the Rhenium Sandwich.While I was at one company that made minibuses etc. the MD decided to call all of the vehicles after US states even though we were in the UK and we have some very nice counties. So we had the Arizona and the Nevada - the most famous the Dakota Cab which we are still in No 1 spot for in the serps.And lastly.......Just think how much money the descendents of the Earl of Sandwich would have made if the old boy had trademarked - the sandwich!! The sandwich conquered the world long before McD and Starbucks - lol. Very entertaining posts – the things that creep into our lives, without us realising.

I couldn't figure out what kind of sandwich it was; finally figured out it was a club sandwich (or something like that). All the sandwiches were the same, and I saw no "Gold" or "Silver", so I didn't realize it was a tiering scheme. I couldn't see how "platinum" was an appetizing adjective.

It's just a play on words. Better yet, an eye catcher. Anyway, I'd sure like to take bite out that sandwich as hungry as I'm right now. I don’t know what all the fuss is. It’s just a play on words.

Why do people fail to see the fallacy of their ways? Adding names to a mundane item doesn't make it better, it makes it harder to order/find/figure out.Back to the drawing board, and THINK this time people! Bravo, good point Matt.
