Bought some plant stuff for the wifes bday and the company name on Amazon was XXXtenacion...wtf does that even mean? Why xxx? I don't know, but there are thousands of these ai generated/poorly translated brandings going on.
...That's the name of a dead rapper. What the hell?
You are right! I double checked it's XXXFlower, not the rapper :)
I would've believed you either way lmao. The amount of weird brand names when I'm looking for something as generic as, say, a HDMI cable, wouldn't make me surprised if a seller named themselves after XXXTentacion
Fun fact: XXXFlower not the rapper is Chance the rapper's second cousin
