My Favorites:
In the Half-Life first person shooter, there are these yellow boxes of .357 ammo. If you use the telescopic sight on the crossbow to get a good close look, you’ll see a figure similar to the Planter’s Peanuts man waving a gun and the name “Gun Nut Brand Ammo”.
In the comic strip The Norm, his favorite breakfast cereal is “Frosty the Oat Man”, with a snowman made of oat circles on the box.
Any others that make you chuckle?
Just wanted to be the first to mention “Acme.”

Nails Cigarettes.
(But you can buy a Nails lighter at Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash.)
Duff Beer (oh yeah!)
From the Simpsons, of course.
Also from the Simpsons–The Kwik-E-Mart . Now we call all convenience stores Kwik-E-Marts.
Come to think of it, we call all huge discount stores the Mega-Lo-Mart , too. (from King of the Hill)

From “Nick Danger, Third Eye,” by the Firesign Theatre:
Loosener’s Castor Oil Flakes
The all-weather cereal
Mooby the Golden Calf’s fast food franchise. And especially Egg-a-Mooby-Muffins.
I’ve also always enjoyed the, er, brands that showed up in Repo Man . “Food.” “Beer.” “Meat.” “Bread.”

That’s not fictional. It’s a supermarket chain. I shop there all the time.
Powdermilk Biscuits, made from wheat grown by Norwegian bachelor farmers. From A Prairie Home Companion.
Robin
I’ve always liked the shampoo Rob uses to wash Bucky in the cartoon “Get Fuzzy.” It’s called Baby 'Poo.
On the Jetsons cartoon George purchased a new car: The Supersonic Suburbanite.

Yes, but do they sell anvils and backfiring machinery?

Well… Nooo, come to think of it they don’t. But I think I recall seeing tornado pills in the condiments section.

From Calvin and Hobbes comes the cereal “Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs”
And you forgot …
“The buscuits that give shy people the strength to do … what needs to be done.”
From “Max Payne”
Captain baseball bat boy, and he had his own cerial so it counts as a brand name.
Stay Puft Marshmallows- from Ghostbusters I assume are fictional.
