Unfortunate product names

Oh, and let’s not forget Cummins-Onan generators, which used to be marketed with the catchy slogan THE POWER OF ONE® :eek:

I am surprised that Nabisco still sells cookies called “Filipinos.” So far, I have only seen them in Spain. They are really delicious, but would never be PC in the U.S. “Hey! Let’s eat some Filipinos for a snack!” :rolleyes: There is a picture of the wrapper at http://www.dooyoo.es/product/207900.html

And then there’s the Dutch licorice called dropknikkers

One I have always liked is manufactured here in Utah. It is a no-fog lens treament called Cat Crap.

From the Cruel Site of the Day, sometime last week. Any Brits want to explain this one to me?

Okay, I’ve got a bunch of Fuller’s Ale in my refrigerator.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m having a hard time getting past it having a name that’s evocative of one of the few trades which can boast of a long association with stale urine.

I remember some ad (TV? Radio?) with a woman with a charming Australian/British accent saying, “It’s NADS!” Just about killed me every time it came on.

Umbro were going to launch a shoe called Zyklon.

I’m missing something.

What is Nad’s?

I’m missing something. I went to the online Merriam-Webster and found a few definitions of nad that were innocuous. E.g., abbreviation: no appreciable disease.

What is so awful or embarrassing about Nad’s?

It’s slang for gonads, my friend. Seeing as the product that goes by the name of Nad’s is a dipilatory cream, it’s pretty funny to be rubbing nads all over yourself.

Nads=euphemism for testicles.

Now it’s funny.

Nads is slang for testicles/balls/cojones/nuts etc.

Thanks.

I think it’s interesting that Cummins has a product line (generators, I think) under the name “Onan.”

It’s a slang term for testicles ie gonads shortened to “nads”.

Back on page one… :smiley:

I haven’t seen this in a couple of years—an anti-perspirant under the brand name “Tussy”.

When I first saw it, I had quite a time that week, as the name had augered itself into my subconscious.

WTH is a “Tussy”?

Tussy is a town in Oklahoma.

The real question is “What the hell is a Tussy Mussy?”

In case of accidental ingestion, induce vomiting.
