A question of justice.

The German sausage company Meica feared grave peril, indeed the downfall of its royal brand “Curry King” at the hands of Viana's Tofuking.

Meica therefore gathered hundreds of lawyers in a foottball stadium and sued the pants off Tofutown.Com GmbH. To put it short, Goliath took a tumble.

The German sausage compana Meica Ammerländische Fleischwarenfabrik Fritz Meinen GmbH & Co. Kg is the proud owner of such breakneck brand names as “Deutschländer” (translates roughly as “The German” – by the way, we at Tofutown recommend a follow-up called “The Foreigner”) or other enchanting names that translate roughly as “The Bockhorst Banger”, “Tastes Good Cold”, “Turf Cutter”, “The Big Fry”, “Cabbage King” or  „SausageLunch“. And its just this meat factory that fears grave peril, indeed the downfall of its royal brand “Curry King” at the hands of Viana's Tofuking.

 

Meica therefore gathered hundreds of lawyers in a foottball stadium and sued the pants off Tofutown.Com GmbH. To put it short, Goliath took a tumble.* That's not nice. Of course, we're only a little bit sad, because we won, at least at court. As a consolation we'd like to be on first name terms. We've also been thinking hard and have come up with some alternative product names we'd like to suggest: “Hot Mouth”, “Big Swallow”“, “The Patriot”, “Little Nibbler”, “Tummy Slider” and “FarmerWantsaWifeDinner”.
