From a profile on the popular ZUG comedy website dating back to 2003:
I
work at a college in tech support. Back in 1999 myself and a coworker were making
fun of all of the Fruitopia flavors, since that drink was big on campus and Fruitopia machines were everywhere.
He came up with ridiculous names like Apricot Racial Tension.
I came up with
one that I thought would be perfect for a college campus: Fratberry. Most people
don't get it. Well, we thought it was absolutely brilliant, even making a logo with cherries all around the
name.
Basically the
name stuck with me because its unique. It doesn't really make any sense and, as a result, I go by JohnnyCache on other boards. The Fratberry
name seemed more appropriate here because I knew folks would get the joke. Although I forgot about the whole "I thought you were a chick" thing.
Anyway, its way better than "Raspberry
Turd Swirly".
I think.
