For example, _The Simpsons_ has a board game named “Ravenous Ravenous Rhinos” and _Sabrina the Teenage Witch_ has a chocolate-flavored drink named “Hey, Over Here!”. ---

Norbecker beer. I have never actually watched the movie _Beer_, but “grab your best gal, and whip out your Norbecker” is a great tagline. ---

What is that a play on, if anything? (My two examples were for “Hungry Hungry Hippos” and “Yoohoo” if it wasn’t clear. I should have been clearer in the OP that I was hoping for names that are riffs on real product names.) ---

I am disappointed that no drug company has picked up rights to the name Provasic for their own anti-atherosclerosis drug. You may remember Provasic a.k.a. RDU-90 had a sensational if short vogue back in the early '90s when it was marketed by Devlin MacGregor Pharmaceuticals. (“absolutely no side effects”) ---

I liked Magnum’s (of pi fame) favorite beer, Old Dusseldorf. It sounds a bit like every midwestern/east coast lager mit einem deutschen Namen, and also like Pittsburg’s Olde Frothingslosh, (the pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom). Morley’s cigarettes get used a lot. Usually by the bad guys. (they look like Marlburos). It’s not really a clever or funny name, but I always consider what their ads would be like (Same great taste and 1/3 more evil!) ---

In the 70 before generics became popular (BEER), and before [art departments got really creative](https://insidethecask.com/2019/08/20/do-you-recognise-these-fictional-drinks-brands-from-hollywood-films-and-tv/), a lot of TV shows used a fake beer can that looked similar to a Budweiser but just said “beer”. I spotted them in both red and blue. ---

Part of my job is to test barcode scanners like you’d use when picking products in a warehouse. I wanted to simulate a pharmaceutical product so I ordered some empty pill bottles and printed labels for **Gleemonex** (as seen in _Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy_). I filled them with m&m’s. ---
