It's supposed to be a Pun on Hope and Glory, Right?

 But half of today's people probably wouldn't recognize the original expression:

"Hope and Glory? What's that?"

"It's a marketing expression."

"Oh. Like Hope AND GLory? I get it."

"Yeah, only soap not hope."

"?? Like soap in a glory hole? Like, 'sex sells'?"

"Huh. Actually, we didn't think about that. Wow. I guess we're smarter than we think."

"Or luckier than you know."

"And Righteous Butter is a pun on the Righteous Brothers."

"Who are they?"

"You can google it. Remember 'Ghost'?"

"What?!?"

"I guess we need to rethink that one."

"Yeah, and 'Hand Food'. What's that a pun on?"

"Nothing, really."

"Just a dumb name all by itself?"

"Yeah, we decided to let that one go out the focus group door commando."
