Hello, teachers.

I want to ask your opinion on this particular coffee brand, UPSET COFFEE.
This coffee brand really exists in Korea.

I think it is quite awkward name for a coffee brand... because "upset" gives me a bad feeling.

What do you think? Am I the only one who thinks like this?

I have deleted the link. It was all in Korean except for the name of the brand.

And yet you remember the name -- that's good marketing in my book. As long as the shop's customers like it, it's fine.

Here is another example: Barking Mad Cafe (in Gaithersburg, MD, USA)

@giddyman You're upset about the name, not the brand. Also, its not a question of usage. It's about marketing. And they have given their product a name people remember. Maybe you should try it. Maybe you will like Upset Coffee.
