    I once saw a catalog called 'Dress Barn'...now...I don't know about you, but the connotation of 'barn' for clothes cracked me up...I instantly thought of cows and women...and then the word 'dress'...needless to say it was a dumpy catalog. The other thing that shocked me, in LA there was a baby store that sold all kinds of cribs and baby accessories, it was named SIDS...(the abbreviation for sudden infant death syndrome)...not a good name for a baby store.

    I agree.... A store selling baby goods that has a bad name that ends up being an abbreviation for something horrible... doesn't make me want to shop there!

    I know right...and yet they've been in business for years. But the thought of saying, 'oh I got this cute baby crib at SIDS'...that is just not going to be good. NO WAY...I just did a search for it...it's still there...go figure: http://www.yellowpages.com/los-angeles-ca/sids-baby-furniture

    There used to be a popular weight loss food in the United States called AYDS. It disappeared in the late '80s... !

    A friend from Virginia told me many times about a popular diner when he was growing up called Nasty Man. He swears this place is for real!

    Um... a few. One was actually an old company that isn't around anymore, never was really popular, but it was a baby clothes company called CuteA**
    (I censored the word with * by the way.) Also, I have heard of some company name called Dump.... not around anymore, either, but it was weird, I think it was some restaurant or something...

    Never heard of either one! Those are great. "Dump"...that is weird, I can't imagine the food there...lol. I have heard of a thrift store/furniture place called "the dump" though. Like the name suggests...its not very good.

    I don't know if it's the weirdest, but "Skinny Cow" ice cream makes me chuckle.
    There's also something called "Anti Monkey Butt Paste".

    In the UK when have a kitchen/bathroom cleaner previously called "Jif".
    The makers of Jif was expanding into the European market and changed the produce name to "Cif" because Spanish people do not have the "j" sound in their speech.
    Unfortunately in the UK, syph (Cif) in the UK is sort for syphilis, as in "He has a dose of syph".
