25 Of The Worst Food Name Fails Ever
You'd think that a food company would want to do some research to make sure that their food isn't ridiculed or doesn't seem repulsive, but some of these guys don't seem to have gotten that memo. Some of these are lost in translation errors – we can only hope that that Chinese food company isn't...

kenmoreguy89, Thankyou! I got a kick out of those names!
Hmmm. Doesn't look like any of the "Not Ready For Prime Time Players" on the box either.
On which retailers' shelves might we find this Barf cleaner?

We used to have a strange one too
Many years ago, when I was a young bloke working at Woolworths,and detergents/cleaning aisle was mine, and one day a pallet of a brand new laundry detergent was delivered for me to put out on show this was it's name,
"R.M. Gow's laundry detergent, powerful, hardworking washing powder which gives you real value for money."
Haven't got a photo of it sorry, but it was a simple black and white box with a picture of the Gow's factory on it.
From what I remember it's performance was a bit less than mid-range, however a few years later they changed it to simply Gow's laundry detergent added a heap of sodium perborate and the cleaning performance went through the roof, in the end however it was sold to Colgate-Palmolive, who changed the formula and finally discontinued it.
