I just read on a few other mom blogs that Jessica Alba's company "Honest Company" is fighting a mama who owns Honest Toddler, a hilarious blog from the perspective of a toddler (with a book to her name, and a TV deal) for her trademark.
This mama started the process to trademark Honest Toddler and the Honest Company moved to block her, and proposed she let them have it, then they could license her to "use" the name - for a fee! Apparently there are a few companies in the US that have "honest" in their name, Honest Tea being one of them. However that company doesn't seem to have any problems with Alba's company, nor any others except this hilarious blog. When jokingly asked whether they were anticipating being sued by Honest Company, the owner of Honest Tea reportedly said "I'd like to see her try. We're owned by Coca Cola." Hmm. Big name equals big fight, equals too much of a fair fight for Alba? Better off bullying harmless mom blogs with a quarter of a million Twitter followers. ( @HonestToddler )
I'm disgusted by this. Leave Honest Toddler alone. No one is going to get them confused. As "People I Want To Punch In The Throat" blog says, no one, NO ONE has eaten a bar of Dove soap thinking it was Dove chocolate. Big companies need to realize that we are the ones who buy their shit. If we want Jessica Alba's baby stuff we'll get it from her company. We're not imbeciles that can't handle 2 (or more, since there are lots!) of companies having similar monikers. Keep up the fight Honest Toddler. I'm behind you!
If you feel so inclined, tell the Honest Company what you think of their bullying Honest Toddler. @Honest. This is nuts! And check out this awesome blog too, more than just this post.
