Ah yes, I’ve heard of them and their sister company “Wibble”.
Penc Ilup Nose was the Turkish ambassador to Abyssinia, I believe.
Pencil up whose nose now?
I learned this week that the nonsense brand names are because you need to have a registered trade mark to be a brand seller on Amazon. Mashing the keyboard or combining random words nothing to do with the product is the best way to come up with something truly unique that you can then definitely get a TM registration for.
They’re all drop shippers anyway, of course, but this is how they look like an actual physical business.
At least this one has a reasonable number of vowels in it
I know the post is mainly about the name but also WTF is this product?! An “adapter” that converts a HDMI male port to …a HDMI male port?
No! That’s how that kid from the Frosties advert died!*
*It wasn’t. He’s alive and well.
I’ve always wondered this, do they call it male because of cocks and female because of Fannys?

Seems that the [company has existed since 2016](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10338551#:~:text=Incorporated%20on-,19%20August%202016,-Accounts).
That’s stark raving mad! I think Blackadapter is a far more cunning name, wibble.
I was genuinely thinking “yeah ‘IWCH’ is a weird name, how would you pronounce it?” until I saw Pencilupnose and realised ‘IWCH’ was HDMI upside down.
