Default 8 Disastrous Product Names
Funny article i stumbled across...

As the author points out, in Ghana you can eat this...



and wash it down with a healthy dose of this...




which would likely be followed by this...



and inevitably if married and feeling a bit frisky, you would then be left to turn to this....

How about J Damer Windows and Doors in Calgary? That's an unfortunate name.

I dont have a picture, but years ago I remember seeing a butcher shop van called "Master Meats" and their slogan was "You can't beat our meat"

I bought a Chivas jersey there last year just because it had the 'BIMBO' logo on the front.

Brilliant! You sweat out your electrolytes so what better way to simply drink it back in?

Along the same theme of disaterous marketing, I remember reading somewhere before about how in some places in Africa, canned food always has pictures of what is inside on the label because the fact many people cannot read. When Gerber first started selling baby food in Africa, there was some contraversy because their label only had pictures of smiling babies and written descriptions. Many people apparently thought there was pureed baby inside the jars.
