For some reason I read "stick of butter up his ass."

I was like 😕

Never heard it pronounced carmel until I came here to the great Soviet north.

Carmel is a place in Cali. Love that place

Caramel is a candy. Pronounced like it's spelled. C(long a)r(short a)mel.

Not car-mell with emphasis on the second syllable like the place, but car-mul, with emphasis on the first syllable.

WTF are you on about? You sure do find the most inane stuff to get worked up about.

 

[Ornery]

Sorry, I have a stick of butter up my ass!

Well, that IS the proper way to pronounce it. Just like Kenya is pronounced "keenyah" 🙂

 

[Ornery]

That's what I'm talking about. What is considered 'proper' by pompous English buttlers, with sticks up their ass, is just being... pompous! There are two ways to pronounce caramel and jaguar, and I choose the less grating versions.

When it's the little square candies I call them Kar-Muls. But when it's the Candy Bar, that's a Care-Uh-Mell-Oh.

 

[nprotz]

i go with car mul

 

[Howard]

Car-mul guys, how do you pronounce Caramilk? Car-milk?

 

[Corporate Thug]

care-uh-mel

 

[Electrode]

<<I say it like "Car-mul">>

 

[OmarGustav]

hehe i never even heard of caramilk

 

[Ornery]

...how do you pronounce Caramilk? Car-milk?

I'd have to hear how they pronounce it. I'll always remember the Kraft caramel apple commercials. The narrator pronounced it kar-mel, not kar-a-mel. That's good enough for me!

 

[Kelemvor]

I was just thinking of Car-mul'd apples. Never heard them called Care-uh-melled apples...
