Wow, your tricycle looks all... puky!

Amy has a new tricycle now, made by a company called PUKY (I'm wonder whether they'd change their name if they tried starting to export to the US).

She picked it out herself; first she selected it from among several pictures Stella had printed out from the company's website (since PUKY has a reputation for making fairly reliable and solid products), and then in the actual shop.

It's a very pink one :o), co-branded (is that the term?) with Baby Born, a line of dolls here in Germany (one of which she got for her birthday).

No gender stereotyping necessary, here -- it seems that Amy naturally likes the colour pink a lot. (And she's definitely left-handed now.)

its amazing the amount of brands that'd just fall flat on their faces if they were taken outside their home country heheh

here's a company in the UK called Liba. In Maltese, that means 'sperm'

*giggle*

"Co-branded" is the right term in general use, I believe, but in IT they seem to use "badged" instead.
