    Will,

    Unfortunately, I have seen "Ho-Made" on other products.

    It is sort of a joke in my household to claim something is "Ho-Made." I might still have the empty jar of chili sauce that launched this bit of silliness.

    Regards,

    "Ho-Made" is the trademark slogan for Bea's Ho-Made products, up in Door County, Wisconsin:

    http://www.beashomadeproducts.com/

    They've been around for a very long time; long before a whore became a "ho". Personally, I think Bea has got a good shot at a copyright infringement lawsuit. Who do these whores think they are, calling themselves "hos"? Land sakes, why I can remember when buying something that was Ho-Made was a good thing!

    What's this world coming to when a perfectly good Ho-Made product draws snickers from young people thinking it's something filthy? Honestly.

    Hey, it could also be a selling point.

    There is a drink in Japan called Pocari Sweat. How about a sweaty drink?

    I loke "Ho-Made!" :D

    If you're going to get into Japanese products, all bets are off. My favorite is a chocolate bar called "Crunky." (Chronic + drunk?)

    Black Crunky (a variant thereof), I think, sounds particularly euphemistic.

    My discovery of Pat's "ho made" last night at Publix peaked my curiosity a bit. My google findings kept me chuckling like a 15 year old well into the night last night:
