You have to respect a product that goes with a goofy name, knows what people will think when they hear it, and rolls with it with a wink. I much prefer that to those awkward moments when you’re just not sure if a company realizes how they’re coming across. Case in point: Ortega (“they make my taco pop”). Oh, cringe.
And so, let’s talk about the BBQ Hooker in all its hooker glory!
Because I’ve been involved in large marketing campaigns and had to sift through pages and pages of legal blah as a result, funnily enough, the first thing about the BBQ Hooker’s website that got my attention wasn’t its amazing name – it was the fact that I wondered if the Ohio Players gave them permission to use that song. Let’s presume yes, shall we? Yes.
Moving on, the BBQ Hooker came about when a family of “avid grillers” grew frustrated with the juggling act of knives and flippers and grabbers and whatever else people use when cooking meat on the BBQ. In reaction, they put on their pimpin’ thinking hats and created a 4-in-1 tool to handle it all. It’s part hook, knife, spatula and bottle opener (for soda pop, to be sure).
The BBQ Hooker gets your meat just right. It grabs it, tugs it, and does whatever you need to keep a sausage hot. But watch out – it’ll cut your meat too! So treat your BBQ Hooker right! Got it, John (or whatever your name may be)?
And what goes perfectly with the BBQ Hooker? BBQ Hooker accessories! A silhouette of a busty babe (like the kind you’d see on truckers’ mudflaps) with the words “BBQ HOOKER” is emblazoned on hats, aprons and beer cozies for sale on the site as well. Just what mom always hoped to get for her birthday!
The BBQ Hooker is available is leftie and rightie versions (although I’m a little confused – can’t you just flip it over and use it for either hand?) for $19.95.
