What's In a Name

Okay, I'm asking this so no one else has to...what inspired the name "Frogwares"?

Hi Evan,
It is a good question!
The company was founded by two French people, and everybody knows Frenchies- they EAT!!!!! frogs. Here is the explanation for the first part of the company’s name, -wares – is the remains of “software”. As a result you have “software done by frogs”, or rather by frogeaters !

Now THAT is a reason I wouldn't have guessed!

Too bad they weren't Mexican. I think Burritowares would be a good name. Or Ravioliwares, for Italian.

Yes, I'm shutting up now.

The only time I've eaten frog so far was at this nice tapas restaurant in downtown Chicago. Frog legs. Very nice, with some red sauce. And yes, it did taste like chicken, but insanely much more tender.

I've never eaten a frog or even a part of a frog myself. What kind of degenerate people would do such a thing, anyway?

Um, the French?
