As you’re reading through the list of products, how do you pronounce “22ple”?  Is it “twenty two pee-el-ee”, or perhaps “twenty two pull”, or maybe just “two two pee-el-ee”?  I have never heard an official pronunciation to this unique name, so I decided to ask for some clarification from the creator of 22ple.

The response I received was very interesting.  I was told that there is no official pronunciation and that the product logo was actually created first, and the company was named after the logo had been made.  I was then asked if I knew what “22ple” meant, to which I responded that I had no clue.  I was told to take a box or bottle of one of the products and examine the reflection of the logo in the mirror to reveal the meaning behind the name.   Being the curious type, I immediately grabbed a box and took a look.

Here is what you get…

The reflection spells out “GLASS”… pretty clever!

So now you know the meaning behind the 22ple brand… the mystery is solved.
