How do you pronounce Knorr, the food brand?

Question

My friend pronounce it as Norr, when I pronounced the K in it, she burst laughing! So whats the deal here?

Yes I know about the grammer issue! Its just that Knorr is a German name!

And the TV Commercial for ir in France goes: "Ka-nore, J'adore"

Meaning I love Knorr!

What I really wanted is the pronounciation of the food brand name Knorr!!

Answer 1

I am in the MiddleEast region, and the TV Commercials here do pronounce the "K" in "Knorr"

I know in France they pronounce the "K" because the TV commercial goes:" Ka-nore, J'adore" meaning I love Knorr of course..

Knorr is German last name for the founder, you pronounce it with the K if you want...

I would go with the good old saying... "When in Rome, do as the Romans do!"

When in Europe do say Ka-nor.... when in America dont LOL! And so on!!

Right? ;-)
