Bistro
I'm willing to grant restaurants something of a pass with this fusion nonsense, particularly the restaurants here in SoCal where we do in fact have a huge range of ethnicities and culinary options. Even still, there is a bit much of this fusion talk. Here is one place I passed every damned day for three years.
-
Fondue Fusion
I thought this place was better named with the more whimsical "Forever Fondue" until the two locations split company and this one took on the silly Fusion moniker. Never ate the stuff though. What does melted cheese have to do with fusing stuff?
-
Roy's fusion
Another restaurant, but this time it sort of makes sense in a way similar to Bambu Bistro above.
-
Fusion energy truck
This is where I gotta get my snark on. This drink clearly wants to evoke a sense of the chemistry and science of mixing stuff up, not to mention the unabashed use of the atomic symbol. And what exactly does all that really have to do with a drink? Will your head turn into a mushroom cloud? Will you incinerate whole towns? The word "fallout" could reasonably be fudged to mean "hangover" though. Maybe the crash is highly undesirable?
-
Jello fusion
I might have to lay the biggest pile of guilt at Jello for turning an annoying trend into a kid's product. I guess I don't get how the mixing of fruit flavors is anything new anymore. Beside that, it is all a chemistry experiment, whatever it is that goes into Jello!
-
Pizza Fusion
When I think of pizza, I think of the fusion of gobs of cheese with pepperoni and sausage. It is not good for you. Pizza Fusion would like us to think otherwise, by making all sorts of oddball pizzas with stuff that is supposed to be good for you. Maybe so, but this is fucking pizza we're talking about. Having delivered their produce for a few years, I can tell you their organic claim is an optimistic one; often enough we had to sub non organic.

Razor fusion
This one might take the cake here. What aspect of a device made for cutting evokes the word fusion?
