Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Developing mrsharkaverage's suggestion (a few below this one)What's the worst marketing bollocks you've seen? The sort of thing where the companies are trying to be all informal and friendly. My perpetually ravenous teenage son came in from college earlier so I offered to do him some oven chips. On the cooking instructions, before it even said "Preheat he oven to 200C", it started with the cringeworthy "mmm chips".
How wank is that?
Also, Hellman's mayonnaise where it says "don't freeze me" or something like that.

Have you seen any Brew Dog beers?I love them. I know it's almost a con, but it feels so very real that I think it is.
On the label of their Punk IPA it says something like: if you normally drink insipid, bland, mass produced beer then put this back on the shelf and walk away now. This beer is not for you.
Nice beer too. Very nice beer.

Cheers.
