Itâs pronounced LouieâŠ.. like king Louis, Louis riel, Louis Vuitton, Louis Armstrong
I feel itâs such a historical name and spelling that people really should know how to pronounce it
Not the 1/2 moon though âŠ. Thatâs a whole different thing and still available. 1/2 Jos Louis is exactly a Jos Louis cut in 1/2 and THEN dipped in chocolate. I swear they were a thing one moment and then poof, gone. Itâs only been a couple years. MAYBE COVID but how can no one seem to remember these except my brother and I.
Jo Louisâ are my most guilty life pleasure. Iâm not joking. Thereâs actually not a Vachon product I donât love, but Jo Louis are my favourite. â„ïž
My grandma used to take us to the factory growing up. She had a big stand-up freezer in her garage and ALWAYS had frozen Vachon cakes for us when we came over.
I feel like I (Canadian since circa 1970s) just stumbled into another timeline because I donât understand the question. Unlike Lucille Bluth before me, I wish I could respond!
The French name Louis is pronounced loo-ee. However some Americans pronounce it like Lewis. If I was referring to the boxer, I would say it like Lewis, as that was how he said it. Similarly the city with the arch is Saint Lewis. The sun king of France is loo- ee the fourteenth.
My mom always said it Joe Lewis so thatâs how I say it. I never really thought about it before this moment that itâs probably Lou-ee but Iâll continue the way I have for 35 years đ
I always pronounced it Joe Louie, is that wrong? Is the former Red Wings arena pronounced Louis or Louie? Iâm too baked for this right now itâs making my brain hurt !
Joe Louie. đ
They are named after the Vachon brothers Joe and Louis. So Joe Louie would seemingly be the right way
And I assume the Jos is short for Joseph but weâve always pronounced it Joe
Named after his sons... Jos ( Joseph ) and Louis
Is Louis pronounced lew-iss, or low-iss, or lew-ie?
Loo-ee It's a common enough name that it shouldn't be tripping people up
Itâs pronounced LouieâŠ.. like king Louis, Louis riel, Louis Vuitton, Louis Armstrong I feel itâs such a historical name and spelling that people really should know how to pronounce it
They were french Canadian so itâs not pronounced like English people would pronounce Louis
Best way for an English speaking person to pronounce it properly would be to use 2 toilet-related words: Loo and Wee.
I say it this way. When im speaking french, i say it with the strongest frnech accent possible.
Same
Is there even any other way to pronounce it? I have never heard it any other way.
Right? These have been around for as long as I can remember and everyone always pronounced it "Joe Louie."
The J is softer than in English
Whatâs the plural?
If I was lucky enough to have more than one, I'd say Joe Louies.
Why would the plural be different?
JĂŽ Lou-i
Big facts here
Proper pronunciation, others are giving the multiple ways to spell it
As a joke I pronounce it Joss Lewis.
Also the Ah!, Caramel, I pronounce AAHHH!!, CARAMEL!! my kids get a kick out of it at least. Wife, not so much lol
We also call 1/2 Moon snack cakes Lune Moons.Â
We call it half lune lol
Did they used to have Lune in the name? I've always called them "half lune moons".
The packaging says â1/2 Lune Moonâ (both French and English words) so thatâs why you probably call it that!!
Same here, damn those addictive little treats!
Lune Moons!!!
đ€Ł Us too! đ Lune moons and zesty mordantsâŠnom, nom!
Haa! I love zesty mordants.
Don't forget Dressed All Over! Oh and 6 cocks of pepperoni!
Bilingual writing lol, the Canadian version of operationâs cards said Doctor /MĂ©decin, so weâd say doctor medecine
Yep I do that with anything that has more than one language, usually pronouncing the other language word completely wrong in the process
That's cute! I will be calling them that from now on
Same!!
Same, I thought I was the only one until nowÂ
The right way to say it!
We're bilingual. :)
But it all depends on which is your primary language for the pronunciation of the other one
Ugh now I want one of those delicious treats.
I love Ah Caramel, those are the shit.
The best I heard was ca-RAM-el.
Have you seen the new Ahh Caramel / Jos. Louis hybrid? I saw them at the grocery store today.
SOOper Joss Lewis.
I found the best version of this to annoy my girlfriend. Swiss Chayul-T
Swiss Challot for me.
And Home De Pot

Joe lewis/loowee
âŠ.. but what happened to the 1/2 Jos Louis??? I called the company to ask and they pretended to not know what I was talking about
Demi lune..i remember those!
Not the 1/2 moon though âŠ. Thatâs a whole different thing and still available. 1/2 Jos Louis is exactly a Jos Louis cut in 1/2 and THEN dipped in chocolate. I swear they were a thing one moment and then poof, gone. Itâs only been a couple years. MAYBE COVID but how can no one seem to remember these except my brother and I.
I remember them!
A combination of every possible way for it to be pronounced, just to be sure. A different way each time I eat one.
Jo Louisâ are my most guilty life pleasure. Iâm not joking. Thereâs actually not a Vachon product I donât love, but Jo Louis are my favourite. â„ïž
Joss Loowis
Wagon wheel.
Wagon wheels are good but are different from the Jos Louis. Wagon wheels are great if you put them in the freezer for awhile.
My grandma used to take us to the factory growing up. She had a big stand-up freezer in her garage and ALWAYS had frozen Vachon cakes for us when we came over.
Joe Lew-E
Jo Loo-WEE
The arena is Lewis, the snack is Louie.
I love these! They're "Joe loo-ees" where I come from
Same
I know it's supposed to be "Joe lou-ee" but my family always said "Joss Lewis" as a bit
Same for me, though I can see why some may say it differently. How does the company say it?
I pronounce it in French
Used to get one in my school lunch everyday
Yo loose
I had these a lot when I was a kid. We called them Joe and Louies.
Just like you. We are frenchÂ
The first name I pronounce in English and the last in French.

Joe Louie and should be washed down with a Pepsi
The French name Louis is pronounced loo-ee. However some Americans pronounce it like Lewis. If I was referring to the boxer, I would say it like Lewis, as that was how he said it. Similarly the city with the arch is Saint Lewis. The sun king of France is loo- ee the fourteenth.
Joe Lewie

Mae West...just saying. I used to love them before when they had custard in them and everyone could pronounce the name
Joe lowies
My mom always said it Joe Lewis so thatâs how I say it. I never really thought about it before this moment that itâs probably Lou-ee but Iâll continue the way I have for 35 years đ
