Food brand with most unfortunate name?

[MiniMandaRuth]

Mine would be a brand of meats called Butterball.

Anything else?

[Deja Q]

1. I presume we are sticking to American-centric brands?

I can think of a few lovelies from the United Kingdom...

:yoiks:

[Arugula Latte]

11. I'd love to hear 'em.

Nobody has a way with words like the Brits.

[fishwax]

2. Hufu

the tofu that tastes like human flesh ...

[RevCheesehead]

3. I think it was Kroger's version of Dr. Pepper:

Dr. Perky.

[Deja Q]

6. Cool! Viagra in liquid form...

Which means, so much for the reign of:




(notice they are blue bawls... )

:yoiks:

[ghostsofgiants]

24. That stuff is delicious...

That company makes caffeinated mints too, and if you drop one in a bottle of the drink, they call it 'fizzling blue bawls'.

[GirlinContempt]

13. Dr. Smooth

always made me giggle

[Wapsie B]

4. Spam

[MiniMandaRuth]

7. How could you not like spam?

Spam, spam, spam oh wonderful spam!

[Wapsie B]

10. Actually, I do.

It's just that the name is associated with garbage email.
Fried spam and eggs are not bad at all.

[LeftyMom]

5. Bimbo bakery? nt

[BlueManDude]

8. Krusteaz pancake mix.

[Arugula Latte]

[GirlinContempt]

12. DAMN THE MAN

[asthmaticeog]

15. self-delete

posted in the wrong place, sorry.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

14. Creap, the most popular coffee lightening powder in Japan

The first line of katakana is the name "Creep" spelled out phonetically in Japanese.

The bottom line says "Creap is made of milk products."

[asthmaticeog]

[liberaltrucker]

21. From the '70s

Ayds diet candies. Never heard from them after about '81. Wonder why?

[-..__...]

22. Not a "brand"name, but...

first time I saw this in a supermarket, I had to let out with a Beavis style "Meh-Heh-Meh-Heh-Heh..." laugh.

[Redstone]

23. This one takes the prize:

(This is from a newspaper column I used to write way back when.)

So that’s why people were calling and saying they tasted fishy.

I saw a TV commercial the other night for a product named “Doxee”, and I feel it necessary to send a warning to the manufacturers thereof.

Guys, you’re in trouble. I don’t know if your canned clams are any good or not, but that’s not important right now. Your big concern is that when the Truth In Advertising folks find out the definition of the word “doxy” (pronounced the same as your product’s name), they will be sure to rake you over the coals until you change the name of your product to reflect the true nature of the word, and without offending anyone down South or in the Midwest.

To save you a trip to the dictionary, we’ll give you the bad news now. The word means - well, it’s a kind of woman, and - do the terms floozie, trollop, slattern, roundheel, slut, or hose monkey ring any bells? The people around where I used to live in Mizipi would go a step further and refer to the poor girl as a hoower. Or, as a rap singer (there’s an oxymoron for you, in more ways than one) would put it, a ho. Real sensitive guys, these rappers; their most romantic efforts usually end up being something like:

Muh ho
She mo ho
Than yo ho
Mo fo.

With, of course, the standard rap background sound of a herd of cats being murdered by a piledriver outside your bedroom window at 3 AM.

But back to your problem. Just hold on a minute. Don’t go off screaming and panicking so fast. I don’t think anyone should go out of business because of such a minor quibble, so I’ll help you out. Let’s examine some options that will both appease Uncle Sam and at the same time save you from being overrun by screaming Baptists:

Hookers on the Half Shell?
No, still too racy.

Lady of the Evening Tinned Cherrystones?
Has a nice sort of Continental ring to it, but it’s too long for a 30-second commercial.

Hold it, hold it, just a second...let me think. Yes, by Jove, I’ve got it! Short, to the point, classy, and alliterative too! Are you ready? Here it is:

Courtesan Canned Clams.

No need to thank me for rescuing you from your little contretemps; a bill for substantial royalties will be in the mail to you tomorrow, and your immediate payment thereof will be thanks enough.

26. fabulous

[BrewerJohn]

28. Along those same lines...

"Healthy Tarts".

To which my first reaction on seeing them in the grocery was, "I certainly hope so!"

I did a Google search to see if they are still around (they are), which also turned up the lyrics to "The Ballad of Clap Alice"

[DanCa]

25. Spam or oscar myer headcheese?

[spacelady]

27. B&M Beans n/t

[ragin_acadian]

29. potted meat.

i think hormel makes it. matter of fact, anything made from pork byproducts in the south is nasty. here is a sampling of names, that not only resemble the sound you make when you stick your finger down your throat, but also taste like it too.

souse
scrapple
boudin(exception to the taste rule)

[trackfan]

30. I posted this on the cannibalism thread, but it works here too:

candy years ago. I loved it.
