Let Us Remember the Most Unfortunate Product Names of All Time

Being an entrepreneur is hard. You have to come up with an idea, work nonstop seven days a week to bring it to fruition, and make up a catchy name. Sometimes, however, naming the product is the hardest part, made even more evident by the following names that are huge mistakes.

Ayds

In the late 1970's, Ayds was a hit. Everyone was buying this appetite-suppressant candy that helped you lose weight. Want to lose some pounds? Get Ayds!

And then one morning in the 80's, the CEO spewed out his morning coffee when he read that a new chronic viral disease was decimating the West Coast. Almost immediately, sales dropped by 50 percent. The company panicked, changing the name to Diet Ayds, but the effort was futile. Ayds failed, and it was swiftly taken off the market.

Sars

When Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome made international headlines in 2003, one Australian company owning the soda brand name Sars didn't cower to the pressure. Unlike those cowards at Ayds, Golden Circle (the parent company) wore Sars like a badge of honor. Sales soared unpredictably.

Cemen Dip

In Turkey, 17 percent of people speak English. Which begs the question: Why don't they notify Cemen Dip they severely lack chances of expanding overseas?

Cemen: It's what's for dinner.

Creamy White Finishing Sauce

With a lower protein and sodium content than the other creaming white finishing sauce, Creamy White Finishing Sauce goes well on beef cutlets and potatoes.

Mr. Brain's Pork Faggots

Eskimos have 100 words for snow; it seems Britons have 1,000 meanings for faggot. Mr. Brain's Pork Faggots are basically pork balls.

Wack Off!

Wack Off! is a topical insect repellant primarily used in the Australian armed forces. It has (probably) been subject to numerous lawsuits alleging genital burning and injuries, but Wack Off! hasn't publicized those.

The Jew's Ear Juice

Popular in China, Jew's Ear Juice is made from a fungus called Auricularia auricula-judae. Israel looked into China's naming of this beverage, and after the Chinese people assured the Jews that they think Jews are a-OK, Israel backed off.

Now back to some good ol' Jew Ear.

PooPoo Smoothie

In 2014, Burger Kings in China launched the PooPoo Smoothie. Although it appears to be viscous stool topped with whipped cream, reviews say it's actually quite tasty. Just don't think about it during your next bowel movement.

Cock Flavoured Seasoning

As an Amazon review put it:

"I've been a big fan of cock for a long time now, but this was disappointing. It probably needs more cumin."
