Bad product names

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

They're quite pungent. In my small bungalow I don't need to burn something like this for more than a minute or two. I actually bought them as a gag gift for an unmarried African lady who works at the local McDonalds.

I saw that in a movie once, but it had nothing to do with sloppy Joe sauce. Well, maybe it did.

Hydrox cookies.

Anyone remember those?

I am aware of their history; that Hydrox was the originator and Oreo was the Johnny-come-lately that made it huge. But, man, Hydrox really is a terrible name for a cookie. It sounds like a bleach cleaner. So unappetizing. Perhaps if Hydrox had a better name, it would have been the "it" cookie instead of Oreo.

Have you ever tasted a Hydrox?

Oreos are way better.

While it is a strange name, Oreos still would have come out ahead.

My pick for bad product names is KIA
You're naming a car with a military acronym standing for Killed In Action
Doesn't inspire confidence in me to trust it will get me from point A to Point B safely

Erm... that's because it was originally made with extract from the coca leaf.
IIRC, it still is, but they changed the way they processed the leaf to remove more of the active ingredient.

So they actually get a pass here.

Makes me think of the P bass.

Growing up around here, if you had to pee, you told your mom you had to tee tee, so I always thought the Audi TT was a bad name for a midlife crisis compensator car.

"Long lasting beautiful colors"? Does this have anything to do with a "technicolor yawn"?
