Stupidest name for a product?

[thecat]

m, I noticed a set of Fox Vanilla 150mm forks.

It dawned on me. What a stupid name for a suspension component. What think tank at fox many many a year ago sat around and thought:

" yep, our new suspension should conjour thoughts of a bean that people use to flavor ice-cream with"

Everyone knows Vanilla is the smoothest of the flavours. Makes perfect sense.

Stolen. Just confusing to us old men :noidea::crutch:

Try working at a shop that sells them. "Do you have any Stolen BMXs or gear." "Yep" all the other customers do a double take and make for the door.

Saw this in the window of the local beauty salon a couple of years back.

Almost as stoopid as this:

Smeg Fridges (and other appliances)

What's even dafter is the fact that they are the 'Bang and Olufsen' of kitchen appliances despite having a name that is another term for foreskin cheese!

Smegin' hell. I never associated Smeg with Smegma. What a stupid smeggin' cat I am

Trek Scratch, just why

Some kind of 'special' danish glasses?

Hahaha... Not the dumbest push bike name but it is stupid. Funnily enough I do get their logic. When motorcycle road riders go for a thrash ride they go "Scratching".

.... Clear as fresh Cow shit.

I think that's a reference to getting a knee down, so I still don't get why they'd call a mountain bike 'scratch'.

 

[Jaredp]

No but if you went for a weekend thrash with your mates on youR bikes you could Sctratch new trails into the hillside or on existing rough tracks and terrain.

Best way I could describe it would be to watch some of the guys doing some big mountain riding. To "Scratch a new line in the hill"

Toyota "kluger".

Sounds like a chair from ikea.

Klüger = German word for clever.

Eat a sachet of cocks

No, no. It's not actual cocks, just cock flavoured.

 

[Knuckles]

No, no. It's not actual cocks, just cock flavoured.

The disappointment is palpable....
