But how good is Taco Bell? Stick the last name into the brand, then shove the image of a bell into the logo for no particular reason as far as Mexican-inspired food is concerned. Guess the proof’s in the pudding.
Unilever: it was the brothers’ marriage into business! They became one. …not sure if they co-CEO’d it though.
Those arches have the exact kind of bell in them that Taco Bell uses in their logo, and you can even still find TBs designed to LOOK like the missions, solidifying the connection even more.
So yeah it’s his last name, but they actuslly tied it to Mexican history
For real, I assumed it was something like: the color of “Oh, honey” (as in, “you poor dear”, etc) 😳🤦🏼♂️ I mean, “yellow alert” is “we might scrap” and “red alert” is “shields up, fire phasers!” (thanks, Star Trek), so amber’s in there somewhere a bit earlier on, right?
I think in the US there are alerts (called amber alerts) for when people go missing in the hopes of increasing the chance of finding the person by raising awareness.
So many colors (if clear is considered a color) and then “endangered missing persons.” I know EMP isn’t a color, and I’d be a lot more concerned if I got an EMP alert, but surely they could’ve come up with something for that one.
It’s specifically for missing children afaik. And it may only be used when it’s an abduction, not just a missing child, but don’t quote me on that. That’s just the ones I’ve seen.
Depending on where you are, they might not use the different alert levels properly. In my area the local government uses the “the nukes have launched” alert level for everything, from amber alerts to tornado and ice storm warnings.
It annoying, but also leads to some wonderful moments. I was at small event yesterday, when a weather alert started rolling out. I can only describe it as glorious sitting at the back listening to a sea of angry alarms, and watching people frantically try to silence their phones. Idk if that outweigh the alarm fatigue it gives people, but it was a fun moment for me.
AMBER stands for America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response and was created as a legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnapped while riding her bicycle in Arlington, TX, and then brutally murdered.
Who is amber ? And why does him going missing warrant an alert ?
She was Amber Rene Hagerman:

TIL it’s not a color designation
Add it to the list

No way!
Sideburns, for your list

Danggggg we gotta email that guy!
Some of these must have been plays on their name that they knew worked well. Like price club, taco bell which used a bell for a logo.
But why unilever for lever brothers? Bilever would be more accurate.
Price Club is an amazing play on the name.

Nah dude it’s a really more clever than that, first image when you look up “california missions” is:

Danggg I’ve seen these in person
Yet didn’t make the connection?! Thanks :)
Ok that SF one should just be called Charles Main St. That’s just egregious.
I don’t get John Cassell to gasoline. Casselline but horiffically butchered?
That’s what I’m thinking
Lol, it definitely contrasts with the silver alerts, doesn’t it?

Ugh… it makes me nauseous when I find out they didn’t catch the guy.

Amber alerts are for missing children. Silver alerts are for missing seniors. Here is an article outline other types as well:

And you can’t opt out ??? Weird
You can but it’s on by default and many don’t realize you can

It’s a great system but I mean…not exactly the most helpful sometimes.
Thanks Amber. I’ll get right on that.
Amber is an acronym named after a real girl.
That would be a “backronym”
Strange name for a child.
