I noticed a few people on Reddit writing thermos, I guess they either misspelled his name or it was changed by auto correct.
It started with one guy being auto-corrected in Reddit, then other people started calling him like that because it sounded funny :P.

...and, of course I, being who I is, didn't want to miss a humor opportunity expanded upon the faux pas. Somewhat akin to how Rassah's coffee table meme got started.

BTW, probably over a year or so ago I posted the following image on this forum.

All I know is, I find the "thermos" pun hilarious. I can't see it going away now.

So good to have the forum back though, so well done, Thermos! ;D

The first day I was in Nashville back in '85, I picked up a woman named Mary that worked at Aladdin. She brought me to her home to spend the night. Three years later, I found myself in that same bedroom thinking to myself that I've been here before. I asked her where she worked and she replied, "Aladdin."

Lol, to me, thermos is a company that creates a variety of lunch containers.
