Baby products have ridiculous names. Like Chicco. I pronounced it like it's fucking spelled ("Chee-coh") for the longest time. But it's "kee-Ko" apparently.
So when I was pregnant we went to BRU to look for car seats. The BRU guy shows us around, and we end up looking at the keyfit. I stumble at saying Chicco, and the guy goes "I say key-ko, not like how the beaners say it". Husband and I just kinda stood there with our mouths open and he walked away.
Britax: "BRIGH-tax" Chicco: "KEY-ko" not "CHEEK-o" Medela: It's "muh-DEE-la," not "muh-DAY-la" Pediped: "PEE-di-ped" Robeez: "Robbie's" not "row-bees" Stokke: "STOWE-kah"
Well damn I pronounce it all wrong. I did know Medela only because of the lacation consultant at the hospital. Otherwise I would be saying "muh-del-a"
Yeah, I didn't know it was muh-DEE-la until I called customer service when DD was 8 months old. But I too thought it was muh-DELL-uh and not muh-DAY-la.

Fucking Italians and their ridiculous non-English pronunciation.
