Strange brand names

[Dayvo]

After reading about Melvil's experience with cock sauce (another thread) I wondered what kind of strange names you might have encountered!

I bought some cat litter yesterday called 'Pussi Kompakt Ultra'! Sounds more like a porno title!

Gawd - adult cat litter, I've seen it all now!

Also on my travels I saw a chocolate drink called 'cackolac' which doesn't sound quite so drinkable in English!

'Kackerlacka' is the Swedish for cockroach! There seems to be a recurring theme here!

I once delivered 15 pallets of lollipops to a sweetshop in London. As I was unloading them, I noticed that the brand name was "Bum Lollipops". Spanish, I believe.

A prominent training shoe shop in Brive la Gaillard in France is called "Athlete's Foot"

There's an Italian company popular here for its kitchen and domestic appliances: Smeg!
Popular with the cheese makers, no doubt!

Some market research should have been done first, methinks. But you can't beat good taste.

Russian made tubular tyres were briefly imported into the UK, but never really sold. They went under the name of Wankerbar.
