Odd brand or product names

[Over The Hill]

We often take for granted all sorts of brands and product names, but then they can look rather strange, detremental to the product or just odd to fathom out how that name came along. Just for fun, what odd ones have you noticed?

Just to kick things off- Imperial Leather How would a bar of soap get called that? Did they mean to call it Imperial Lather?

then there is Smeg. Do you really want that written on your fridge door?
