In poor taste, in more ways than one

I saw this ad, for Bone Suckin' Sauce, in the Lakeland catalogue (it was in the work breakroom). All I could think is, who named this condiment? What's the point of having a juvenile humour-based phrase on a food item, and one you'll most likely enjoy in the garden with a bunch of friends around the barbeque pit? And what if your grandparents are at the event and ask for more bone sucking sauce and all the pre-teens through mid-twenties spit out their food with laughter?

Naming a food seasoning the same thing that some immature guy can offer as a fellacio-based joke or something you'd find sold in Ann Summers is in poor taste, and certainly not something Emily Post would have in her kitchen cupboard.
