Subscribe Now!Top 5 Most Unfortunately Named Products
January 2nd, 2008 by Karen
Man, you guys. People make some weeiiird stuff sometimes…but then, often times, a perfectly ordinary and useful product is invented, only to be given the must inexplicably terrible names. Like, I can only imagine how many guys shuddered and paused a moment before purchasing…
Man oh man. It’s just an ordinary tool for nut adjustment. Sheesh, I’m not even going to take this one further.
As you can see by the link, I could find no official selling-it website, because it’s Japanese. But, it’s out there. The Hand Shredder. Shredding hands, wherever it goes. This is a most terrifyingly named product. Unless you want…
#3 THE SHREDDER HAND!!
Yeah I’m not posting a picture of that one. I’ll let you find disappointment all by yourself. This product is unfortunately named because it lead me to believe that I might finally have some kind of ruthless, deadly, cyborg arm attachment that could help me at last complete my quest for world domination (or at the very least, world intimidation). But no. It’s…scissors. That’s the biggest disappointment I’ve ever….Scissors, it’s just….I need a moment by myself now.
#2 Ayds
I’ve posted this before and I’ll post it again, because you can’t have a list of unfortunately named products without it. Not possible. However, this won’t snag the #1 spot because, as far as I know, it’s not sold anymore. Unlike our list topper:
#1 The Tiddy Bear
As far as I know, this is 100% legit, and not an SNL skit or anything. I won’t sully this further with jokes of my own, I know you’ve got it covered.
The Runners Up
Plopp candy. It just sounds…unappetizing.
A Sony Camera Case whose name would threaten this website’s status as clean humor. Seriously.

No results.
Well…to be fair, Ayds the appetite suppressant predated AIDS the disease. But it’s funny nonetheless.
I’d be curious to know why they never brought it back on the market under a completely different name.
I have to admit it took a minute of staring before I got the camera case.
funny!
Karen. The Plopp hyperlink directs to the saynotocrack login page.
I’d change that if I were you.

THE SHREDDER HAND LOOK SO ASOME
Okay, I love the bit about the tiddybear. Can’t wait to see the advert for the clittybear.
The number 1 product is retarded. I can’t believe it’s a real product!!! It looks like a joke someone made. Arrrgh.
not too long ago Trekstor named one of their mp3-players
“i.BEAT blaxx”
very unfortunate XD
lol
And for the BEST named product, the studfinder!
The Tiddy Bear looks good, but I’m more of an Ace Bear man myself.
Nads is pretty funny product name. Check out a review here:

My wife works at a preschool. For naptime, they require parents buy a particular bedsheet for the cots called a Kid-napper. I kid you not.

In 2006, I saw commercials for the Tiddy Bear on MSNBC… I swear it is totally real.
Spain is the only country in the world where the Mitsubishi Pajero has another name (Montero). Not surprising, considering “Pajero” is a slang word for “Masturbator” in Castillian Spanish.
Mar,
The Mitsubishi Montero is so named also in the Americas (excepting Brazil), not just in Spain. I checked this because I live in the US and have never heard of the Pajero, only the Montero.
How aboutWalt Disney’s new Winnie the Pooh cook book for children?
The Title “Cooking With Pooh”. Even the cover is a little off putting. Exactly what is Pooh stirring in that bowl
