By the looks of things, Meesho's new look appears deceptively close to that of McDonald's. For a brand which made a mark with its quirky advertising, the reaction to its new look(alike) is definitely not something Meesho was looking for!
“What’s in a name,” asked William Shakespeare in the classic Romeo and Juliet. “That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet,” he reasoned. Well, he was right. A Rose would indeed smell sweet even if people name it Lily! But, little did Mr Shakespeare know that at times names can smell trouble.
Here’s how. The sweet smell turns foul when ‘Rose’ is not so ‘Rosy’, when ‘Lily’ becomes a butt of jokes because of her rhyming cousin ‘Silly’, when one gets confused between ‘Batliwaala’ and ‘Daruwaala,’ when ‘Mirzapur’ has shades of ‘Wasseypur,’ and when American ‘Nike’ gets to know about his illegitimate Indian brother ‘Nikey,’ Yeah, it pinches!
