Makers of the cereal Weetos have apologised for a marketing blunder that saw a new promotional campaign use a Scottish slang term for male genitalia.
The product box features a range of cartoon moustaches with a variety of labels, one of which is "Big Baws".
"Big Baws" is described on the box as being as tall as a mountain and strong as a bear, but the term has an alternate meaning in Scotland....

I don't see why not; "Up" is a perfectly respectable word...

I think "Big Balls" would be a good name for an extreme hobby or sporting goods store...

"Honey, I'm going to Big Balls to get a new bungee cord."

Got a nice ring to it...

I thought checking for this kind of double meanings would be standard practice. Apparently its not... or it was performed very badly.
