On a recent trip to the market, I noticed a disturbingly large number of products that seem to have been named by minimum-wage agencies. I'll carry a notebook next time.
Three products come to mind:
1. Flashing Fruit
(a Hi-C punch drink, not a reference to a homosexual in a raincoat)
2. High Tide Gatorade
(Have you ever been to the beach?! They should put a seaslug in the bottle to indicate freshness)
3. Whites Only produced by Deb El foods
I could spend all day on that one.

In the Netherlands powder sugar and brown sugar and called 'White Barsterd' and 'Brown Barsterd' sugar.

Yes'm.
Another one just came to mind.
A cat litter product has a picture of a feline reclined on a pillow with eyes closed.
The name: "Scoop and Clean"
To me, it sounded like a fucking command. Made me want to drop-kick the box.
Well If i ever see a guy steadily kicking the kitty litter... i'll know it's you..
Well what about the feminine hygiene products... I never understood it...
FDS - supposed to mean Feminine Deodorant Spray... Too me.. it means.. Fuck Da Soap!
OR what's up with the Green Katsup? i just can't bring myself to eat green katsup..
Or those candies.. Good and Plenty.. makes me think of a chunky stripper not a licorice candy.

First I cringed. Then I laughed. Then I just shook my head.
No, thank you (http://www.candystand.com/planters/nutpoppers_countdown.asp). :slap:
Genius.

Makes me wonder what planet the ad agency is on. Are these people that ignorant or is my mind just that close to the gutter?

Here's one I like: Linux (http://www-3.ibm.com/e-business/doc/content/ondemand/prodigy_transcript.html)
The TV spot was well done (IMHO).
It opens several issues at once. Some are unintentional.
What happens when the child grows up?
Who will be it's teachers?
When it's time, will it leave the nest? Will it call home?
It was a seed in one person's mind. Now, as you can easily see, it's ALIVE.

Also, the Stauffer company makes animal cracker container in the shape of a bear.
"Bear Jugs", they're called. I handled several last night.
