Cool

And an Aston Martin with B&O speakers is really cool!🙂

And driving the car with your Nikes on, taking a glance at your Rolex while listening to your ipod music in the car ...

... hard to beat!

One weird thing about this "cool" list - how is Google cool, as a brand? You can't wear it, there's no Google badge on your tech equipment and most people wouldn't think "wow cool" when they discuss Google.

And surely most people on the street associate Google with the search engine.

So how does the brand become cool?

I have no idea...

 

Most of these lists are purely made up by someone IMHO.

As mentioned in a recent post I think it's a group of arty types in roll necks, drinking sparkling mineral water, flicking through magazines..

 

air-headedness of "cool lists" aside, Google's as cool as any of the others. They have a reputation in the USA for being a forward thinking employer and very youth oriented (all cool attributes). They also give everyone free e-mail, free picture hosting, web apps, and the best search engine in the world, which is very likely the most useful thing on all of the internet. So I think it's earned it's spot on a stupid cool brands list.

I give my kids free food, free clothes, computers, phones - and the best cuddles in the world..

However - apparently, i'm not cool.

And when your grandkids come along you can join me as a 2nd coming cool dude.

I was never cool as a parent but apparently creaking joints & expelling groans when standing up is the latest in uber cool 😐

(personally I think being an on - tap unpaid babysitter is the real reason)

I don't see Triumph motorcycle on this list?  Only Ducati.  I guess you don't have to be cool to be successful!
