I was in a little mom-and-pop gas station buying smokes the day before yesterday when I stumbled across what was possibly the worst brand name of all time. In the medical section along with the $2 advil packs was a box of tampons. Brand name? Wait for it… Flute. I stood there giggling like a mental patient thinking, “This one time at band camp…” I’m never going to grow up.

There’s a lab in my town that does analysis of various things using technology.
They named it Analtech.
And the loading dock is right next to the front door, so there’s a big “Analtech – Receiving Dept.” sign as you pull in.
My GP/GS when I first came to Pittsburgh — Hubert Frankenstein, MD
I always insisted the MD stood for Mad Doctor
Ah, why is Flute funny?
You’ve never seen American Pie, have you?
I got a tube of “Crack Cream” in the medicine cabinet.
Maybe bits and pieces, but no, not really.
April R: I can’t view that at work, but presumably it’s a clip from American Pie.
ETA my own contribution. Not a brand name, but a female assistant manager at a store a while back had a name tag headed with “Ass. Man.” Try not laughing at that!

There’s a chain of Kwik-E-Mart stores called the “Kum and Go.” My wife say it on TV and laughed, and I had to explain it was a real store.
When I was in Korea I saw a giant sign that read, “FAG.” I have no idea what business it represented. Whenever I drove to Seoul with my friends we knew the “FAG” sign marked the halfway point, and it was a handy landmark because whoever was new to the peninsula would point and laugh.
I see a commercial a lot for a technical school called UTI. They mention their name several times during the commercial. I always think “Man, they must have a hard time getting women to enroll!”
Every day on my way to work I used to pass a large store called “Lacks Furniture.” Out of habit, I’d ask myself the question as to why anyone would go furniture shopping at a store that lacks furniture. Evidently, the answer is no. The place closed about a year ago.
There is a country music guy with the name McAnally. The pronunciation isn’t as bad as it looks.
In the movie one of the main characters who was a band geek and went to band camp every summer was always saying things like, “This one time at band camp…” usually followed by something mundane.
Then towards the end, I think, it’s been awhile, she says, “This one time at band camp I stuck a flute up my pussy.”
So tampons named Flute is funny cuz of that.
I laughed a bit the first time I went to Mexico and saw the Bimbo signs.
