The theater chain Googleplex from The Simpsons.
In addition to Ravenous Ravenous Rhinos, Simpsons also had Angry Angry Elephants. And the Simpsons world also has the real Hungry Hungry Hippos, which is way more fun than the “waiting game.”
Huh??
From Ren & Stimpy - Powdered Toast breakfast cereal, whose mascot is Powdered Toast Man!
Buy n Large from WALL-E.
Nice one.
They also had Focusyn:

Seems I was beaten to the punch with Repo Man…
But I see nobody has yet mentioned Flaps. Women’s magazine from Spaced.
My mom called Hawaiian Punch Kickapoo Joy Juice for as long as I can remember.

I saw this when it first aired! “Little protein-shaped bits of sugar”. Also had a faux MacDonald’s commercial for a place called “Bun 'n Run”: “Go to Bun, Bun 'n Run, it’s not eating, it’s just fun!”
And I get to be the one to mention Sleeper’s “Orgasmatron.”
Sweet Steaks wasn’t only shown as part of 60 Minutes to Kill. I saw it on the lame attempt to revive Laugh-In back in the late '70s or early '80s, which featured Robin Williams and Susan Ford (the President’s daughter) in addition to Martin Mull.
My wife and I call certain NYC yellow van taxis Johnny Cabs after the taxis in Total Recall (the good one). ‘Oh cool we got a Johnny Cab’.
Reminds me of this gem from Intolerable Cruelty:

The video game Mafia III also has a bland-name McDonalds: Hank’s Burger Bar and a radio commercial for their version of the Big Mac.
Speaking of Mafia III, a silenced pistol called “Deacon” becomes available from the mobile arms dealer after the player develops a high enough relationship with Irish Mob leader Burke. Mr. Burke and Deacon are characters in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, respectively; the latter gives the player unique silenced pistol.
Schlock Mercenary has a product, Ovalquik that the good sergeant consumes by the barrel.
The Canadian cartoon series, Grizzy and the Lemmings, on Netflix has a number of these. Almost everything is made by Zenithal and has their Z logo somewhere on it. There’s an acorn and chocolate concoction a jar called Yummy, and a laptop that shows up occasionally doesn’t show a name, per se, but has a lighted pine cone on the lid.
If you made a movie with Apple Cigarettes, could Quentin Tarantino sue? Would it be plagiarism, or copyright infringement?
I remembered that there were other items from that Sabrina episode, but couldn’t remember what they were. Of course Google giveth. They included Schnickers, N and N’s, Butterthumb, and Popsi.
(That episode also provided a “favorite misleading celebrity quote” that I didn’t remember but want to: “I’m looking for a slanty green piece with a funny little waddle.”–Randy Travis)
Some Wacky Packages were funnier than others.
The “Mission Impossible” TV series used a number of fake country names - usually to denote an Eastern European dictatorship - e.g. “People’s Democratic Republic” or “Bulmania”.
