How about a real product name that should be fake? Let’s say… a hemorrhoid cream named Anusol. Supposedly pronouned “ANN yew saul” but I know “Anus Hole” when I see it.
Simpsons again:
“Mr. Sparkle” from The Simpsons
If you look closely you can see “Tomacco Juice” in the opening sequence a reference to an old episode where somebody genetically combines tobacco and tomato.
old glory robot insurance from SNL
In The Simpsons, Milhouse has a prescription for Repressitol, which sounds delightful.
But you had some just last… oh, you don’t remember that…
My favorite fake product is Duff Beer, another Simpsons creation. The show’s writers created an entire ecosystem around it. There are variants such as Duff Stout and Duff Zero, and a “premium” version, Henry K. Duff’s Private Reserve. Homer and Barney took a tour of the Duff brewery, where it’s revealed that Duff Light and Duff Dry are regular Duff in different packaging. The Duffman mascot/spokesperson appears in many episodes, and Bart and Lisa visited the Duff Gardens amusement park.
There’s even a competing beer, Fudd, which is preferred by rednecks and/or residents of Shelbyville.
And you can buy Duff Beer (and you don’t have to spend a ton of time Adobe’ing your own labels, like I have to do to drink other mythical spirits).
I find this to be completely wonderful and it shall enter my vocabulary.
Invader Zim: beverages sold at the Crazy Tac include Poop, Diet Poop, Classic Poop and Salty Lemonade.
Many years ago we were shopping for a case to hold our stereo gear. Many stores had them set up with cardboard boxes printed to look like a receiver or tuner or equalizer or whatever. The product name on the boxes was Proptronics.
From Futurama I think: Admiral Crunch

Fake license plates, newspaper headlines, cereal boxes, Playpen magazine etc.? You can thank Earl hays Press for a majority of it. They have been creating and supplying props like these for many years.
When the Jetsons were shopping for a new car the salesman was pushing the Supersonic Suburbanite.
Oceanic Airlines
I saw that movie (or part of it, at least) on TV when I was a kid. The only thing I remembered about it was the fake product, Vip. For decades I wondered what movie it was from.
A couple years ago I happened to see it again. Oddly, I remembered one very specific slogan for Vip and watched the whole movie waiting for them to say it, and it wasn’t there.
I suspect that name was inspired by Henry Weinhard’s Private Reserve, a Portland (Oregon) beer that had a surge of popularity about when The Simpsons was getting started.
Tom Weller’s “Culture Made Stupid” had “MountainAir,” an airline whose logo shows an airplane descending into a mountain.
And Baron Chocula.
