    How do you pronounce it?

    I'm a 50 something and grew up using Hoppe's #9 solvent to clean our guns. Heck the stuff is like cologne to me.
    I have always pronounced it "Hop-peas" but now I hear to younger generations saying "Hops"

    Where do you fall in and is there a correct pronunciation?

    A = "Hop peas"

    B = "Hops"

    A = "Hop peas" makes your guns work better

    B = "Hops" makes your beer taste better

    Thanks. I'm just glad the music wasn't awful. There are some nice how to vids, but then the author uses crap music that either blasts your ear drums or lulls you to sleep, and you have to watch with the volume off.

    I say "Hops", because that's how their employees pronounce it.

    When in doubt, Youtube is my hero!

    The video you posted seems to be made by a representative of Hoppeeeeeeeees.

    He doesn't say Hops.

    ...In my defense the volume was on low at work when I watched that.

    Yup. Definitely "Hop-ees",

    I have always gone with B = "Hops"

    Maybe I have been wrong all this time.
