so we have all seen them, products whose names dont go withh what they really are. share some that you have seen.

I would note pamprin, some kinda pain releiver, I thought it would be a product by pampers for diaper rash or something.

Re: products with misleading names

Maybe they were going for an alteration of “pamper”…You know, women pampering themselves with some good pain-relieving medicines.

This whole day has been a day of laughs at GS. What were you doing? Looking through the wife’s medicine cabinet?

Manikchand Oxyrich!

In Mumbai, first time I heard, I thought it's some kind of "Gutkha" (a mixture of tobacco and supari for which Manikchand is originally famous for)...but since Gutkhas are officially banned in Mumbai..so it turned out to be a bottled drinking water!

Re: products with misleading names

There are other type of products/services which poach other brandnames.

For instance
Onida underwear and banian [Onida is a famous TV brand]
James Bond 'here' saloon [Barber Shop]

and some names get created because of wrong spellings.
Child Bear (Instead of Chilled Beer)

List is endless.

Re: products with misleading names

You know those dishwashing sponges where the handle can be filled with dishwashing soap? I saw one called an "Automatic Dishwasher."

That still cracks me up.
