Bad product names

[knirirr]

Here, the laughing stock of the automobile world is the Audi E-Tron : In french, the word "Étron" litterally means "turd".

Amusing, indeed.
Similarly, you might find the name of this product to be somewhat dodgy:

Not a product per se but an advertising campaign for I believe the Line 6 HD147. It was the highest power Line 6 amp to date. The ad read something like,

"We've upped our game...Up Yours!"

It ran a couple months, and I wrote to Line 6 and asked, "Is it really a good idea to tell your customers ""Up Yours?"

The ads quickly disappeared.

Customers, no. Competitors, though? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].

Most effect pedals have ridiculous names

Some are just so over the top it would make me uncomfortable to buy one.

Big Muff Pi
Way Huge Pickle

I know these are owned by two different companies, but why would name this

. . . . . when THIS brand name has been around since before WW2?

Maybe it's just me ?

Oh, I have no problem with any of that, how about the Way Huge Camel Toe, or this rarity...

I outfitted my wife's pedalboard with this...

..and she thought it was hilarious.

Hey Fender_Bender, this product is made right down the road from you in St. Catherines, Ontario.

Yamaha had a motorbike called the TDM.

It was quite conventional, boring, bland...

Yep, the world and his wife started calling it the Yamaha Tedium.

Peace,

+1 on the craft beers
This is actually quite a good brown ale.

I love moose drool. In the same region, there's another really great beer called Irish death.

As a daily incense burner, I got these in a recent random pack. They smell like cheap perfume and wine. Reminded me of a questionable establishment I may have frequented in Tijuana
