Whats with the names?

Names of the salads at work today :

As the World Turns
Days of Our Lives
Bold and the Beautiful
Guiding Light

I somehow believe that names for food should be indicative of content. It would be even better if names for people were also indicative of content. For example, the name Phoolan Devi conjures up the image of a goddess ambling amidst flowers (Phool = flowers, Devi = goddess), when in fact she was a dacoit with a rather nasty record of armed robbery.
