Scrumptious or Yummy?


Scrumptious is a word used to describe food or drinks and not humans. So, why then has Heidi Klum decided to name her new line for Babies R’ Us “Truly Scrumptious”? Is there anything wrong with using adjectives that mean cute instead of adjectives that mean yummy? This is a question that has been on my mind for a couple weeks now, actually since the first time I saw a commercial for Klum’s new baby line. The name bothers me. Klum’s line has clothing, strollers, bedding, and furniture. It features monster characters, animal prints, tutus, and teddy bears. These things are all cute or precious, but not appetizing.
