It's all in the brand name...

[Hollyday]

One of the things I find funniest about living in a non-English speaking country are the brand names. They range from the slightly weird to the flat-out hilarious, making trips to the supermarket that little bit more fun. I went to a sweet shop (Dolceria) earlier today and had a good laugh at the brand of chocolate they were selling.

Spoiler: not sure if they wanted a posh english word or it's a word/name in Italian that means something else. Either way it made me chuckle.

However, this pales into insignificance next to the best brand name I've ever come across. I think we were creased up in the shop laughing for at least ten minutes.

Spoiler: the best part is this brand also made and jam and tuna. ick.

So, I want to know about the funniest brand names you've found. Maybe it's an unintentional language thing, or just a witty name. Give us all a good giggle!

Aah, alcohol, the home of the demented brand name.

Spoiler: I see your drink and raise you...

Spoiler: I raise you this! (I actually want to try both)

You win! Not only is the name awesome, but I would definitely drink them. Cola cube flavoured vodka? Yes please!

Here in Sweden, Fanny is a first name. YES IT IS.

I think it is in a lot of countries, certainly in Europe anyway, and didn't stop being used as a common first name in the UK until the early 20th century. However, with its modern connotations it doesn't seem like a great choice as a brand name for tuna... you'd think they'd do some market research before naming things!

Huzzah for odd brand names!

That is by far the funniest thing I have seen all day, thank you

I saw this in the grocery store that specializes in English food. I guess they just don't have as good a filter as I do.

Ah, good old spam - has there ever been a less appetising name for a food ever?

Spoiler: If we are going with daft British food names, this one's the daddy...

Is this good enough? I remember my friend pissed himself after seeing a bottle.

Int that pronounced 'co-burns' though? ' ... OK, not that it matters considering the spelling...

First one I thought of was 'spotted dick', but someone's beaten me to it... ah well...

Spam emails were named after the product, following the Monty Python sketch about said product.

I thought that was aftershave for a sec. I was all like "Well duh everyone knows you're not supposed to put it on down there."
