I thought I was going to read hilariously bad brand names, but this thread went to shinola quickly.

I know it's intentional, but Poo-pourri, from the makers of the Squatty Potty, is just awful.

I bought a 12 pack of Squirt a couple of weeks ago at Kroger. It wasn't as good as I remember as a kid

I always thought that Honey Pot was a genius name for a portable toilet.

This came out right around the time AIDS was getting fired up in the 80s. Poor bastards.

The brand name doesn't exist anymore, but the one that instantly comes to mind that definitely wouldn't fly today (and would probably get me the banhammer if I posted the name) came from one of my town's former seafood canneries.
If you're proficient at google image searching, search "racist canned Mississippi oysters."

Even the re-branded version is bad.

Market Day used to sell some breaded fish fillets called Krispy Krunchy Cod.

I mean, when they realized it wouldn't be wise to change every C to K for the sake of wackiness, why not just spell every word correctly?

Funny story about that can label--when GWB visited some homes a year after Katrina, one of the rebuilt homes that he toured through belonged to a descendant of that cannery's owner. It just so happened that the homeowner had the company's assortment of old unused labels framed for nostalgia along the backsplash in their remodeled kitchen, one of them being the one I mentioned. I wonder if anyone in the presidential entourage noticed.

In all fairness, the product and the disease produce the same results.

The AYDS weight loss pills from the 80s


There was a TRS-80 database program in the early 80's named AIDS (for Automated Information Directory System).

It gets better, they started as AIDS, published a new product called AIDSPlus, then AIDS-II and AIDS-III.

After the disease started being famous they renamed the product "Promise!" but it didn't live up to the early success of AIDS and it died out.
