I laughed for about ten minutes at the lemon barf. I mean… most of the other products are at least foreign, so it might not mean the same thing, how does lemon barf manage to get made?
I actually own an erector set
Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard about the new and improved *****o. I can’t even type it without giggling, which is probably annoying my roomate who is trying to do homework.
Ha..Finger Marie. Brings back fond memories
ROTFLMAO!
LOL I just got home from work and I have to say this was a very good laugh to come home to but I must say you guys have me scared to go and check out the other new list.
This should be under NSFW… I can’t stop giggling!
I too have an erector set, and it ain’t small
Ok so it’s bad enough that the product is called Fart, but it’s even worse that there’s a pic of an elephant too!!
NEW IMPROVED *****O!
These are so funny! I want them to show people and make fun of them!
I think I’m going to get an Erector and then Wack Off my Woodii…
DanOhh – LMAO That was clever!
Great list, but it would be nice to know where these products can be found…
on jay leno he has a similar list of bad product names and the one i can remember was a brand of cookies from belgium called chokies. mmmm!fart bar
my dad used to work in a construction company named: erectors….
Barf…it means snow…?!
Spicy *****soup mix! And it’s authentic Jamaican too! YUM.
About cemen… What does it mean in English?
I also havent heard Barf-Muffe-My Fannie-Schovit. And I see a virgin in Vergina.
Then again, English is my 2nd language.
Cheers…
ozhan-doesn’t translate very well-a lot of it is slang in english. I’ll try though…takes the fun out of it though…
barf= to vomit
Fannie= backside
Shovit= shove it (means sort of ***** off)
Vergina= is like vagina
Muffe= a slang term for vagina
I saw Barf on a site called thisisbroken.com. “Barf” does mean snow, but the company is in a hot desert country, Middle Eastern I think.
Thx
Ad 7: Believe it or not, I have stumbled upon empty Erektus on sidewalk can once while having romantic day with my girlfriend. We had a very good laugh
So, suffice to say, Erektus is not fake, believe me.
Satori: Maybe you can publish a directory or dictionary of those linggo. I remember a Japanese student made a mistake of entering a house by mistake and when he realized it was a wrong house he hurridly go our of the yard. The owner of the house saw him and said “freeze”. The guy continue to walk out so he was gunned down
OH MY GOD Mikerodz, that’s terrible!
If you include japanese drinks, CALPIS would make this list. I bet Cal drinks a lot of water.
lols these are funny.
LMFAO!!! Pee cola and *****o mix! HA!
Finger Marie a song? Just kidding.
Happy crak popcorns – I think there’s a drug reference in there or a plumber mooning someone.
I have a pack of liquorice mints called “Nigroids”
they’re little black pellets too.
So, if BARF means Snow, then when I throw up, is it snowing?
Nig comes from the Latin, nigra, meaning “black” or “dark”. Hence Nigeria, land of black people, or negro. Also the root of some offensive labeling.
As funny as “*****o” sounds, it’s pretty much a normal-sounding Japanese word, combining the syllables “Shi” and “To”. I kind of found this one to be a little on the immature side since it is just a word from a language that’s different than ours, but the rest was amusing enough ^^
Half of the guys who make these product names are more than likely retarded
I LOVE a Golden gaytime. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm crunchy bits….
The Megapussi is not a product name. Pussi means bag in finnish, so it is nothing else just a Megabag
But anyway that chips is really good 
Barf means ice or snow in India and other South Asian countries
These names are so incredible. If you had not shown me the wrappers, I wouldn’t have believed that these would be names of products. Certainly, they are very funny. Nice collection.
I would like to suggest Caronia Nail Polish: Passion for Color (if you ever heard of such a product). ahem… Okay, I’m not a girl, but I sure know that “caronia” is a vulgar latin word meaning “carcass”, or dead body.
7. toolnut: Erektus is real energy drink from Pinelli company from Czech Republic.

And Semtex is energy drink too.

Re FART bar: “Orzech[ovy]” means “nut” in Polish. So you’ve got a nutty fart bar there!
Lolz, may I suggest “Dickenbut” banana flavored crisps?
Oh, and JF, I know where you’re from
But don’t worry, I won’t say.
If you haven’t guessed, I’m just fishing for comments.
100. Concerned Observer
uh, yeah. so stop it.
Cox & Kings a travel agency would also qualify I guess….
In Montenegro, they sell biscuits called Noblice
I looled
no. 12 is Polish and the word fart means a ‘stroke of luck’.
I know a second hand shop named Fart, and though it’s supposed to mean ‘lucky’, my mind is too corrupted by English to ignore the double meaning. ^^;
Nr 2 is from norway and schovit from denmark XD
There’s “Shovit” in billions of German households, as it’s sold in the largest supermarket chain in the country.
Why yes, I would like to taste your banana-flavoured Woodii; thank you so much!
Mmmmmm *****Soup! And who doesn’t love a Golden Gaytime?!
By the way, to make Erektus even funnier, closely examine the black inkblot on the can.
You’d die of laughter if you came to Finland, because you see “pussi” everywhere (that sounded wrong..).
A few examples:
http://www.newsfroup.net/pussi/20030910-karkki-pussi.jpg (karkki means candy)
http://www.diplomats.ca/m/images/aug2007/pussi.jpg
Cemen should be pronounced something like “cheemun” I’m not good at Turkish pronunciation, but I know the c with a squiggle below it means “ch.”
i saw a picture online the other day of a package of meat from japan called “homo sausage”
wouldn’t fancy washing my things in barf . . .
I don’t think there’s any good way to advertise Barf.
“Use Barf, and you’ll get noticed.”
“Hey, Mom, you smell like Barf!”
Golden Gaytime is actually pretty good. That was way back when gay actually meant vivacious.
nicee! but what about the chocolates? its name is “Van Houten” i swear its real!!
Americans think Fannie is funny because it’s slang for your backside. In Ireland and the UK it’s slang for a lady’s private parts, so it’s even ruder over here. And the people who think that the people who came up with the names are retarded, presumably they are not English speaking and didn’t bother to check if their product names are going to be rude/humourous in other countries. Like comment 47 about Chupa Chups being a BJ in the Phillipines – I have a few Chupa Chups at home!!
These are so funny.
I know this isn’t the same as an “unfortunate” product name, but there was very recently a Jewel grocery store TV ad.
They were bragging about their bakery as viewers were treated to an up close and slow scan of some freshly baked rolls…
These rolls, ahem, looked exactly like, ahem, female parts…
My husband and I could not watch that commercial with a straight face.
It was BAD.
And though I cannot mention this as an “unfortunate” name, I’d like to mention it as an “unfortunate” visual in advertising.
I guess I just needed to get that off my chest… it was traumatizing.
I think it’s so funny how many jokes can be drawn from the Finnish word for bag (which is “pussi”). I never thought of saying the names “megapussi” and “jussipussi” the way they would be pronounced in English and only recently realized that it might somehow be funny. Personally, it cheers me up that in the English speaking world us Finns are in fact ridiculous, something that our nation is trying so fiercely to avoid.
