Funny sounding products/business names.

Add to this thread. This was inspired by a company add just saw on TV.
Ok, unless you are the owner of a porn company or a porn star, or dildo/vibrator company, do you really think "Rheem" is a good name for your company?

There's a dealership nearby named Krapohl. I think it's actually someone's unfortunate last name.

That reminds me, I always find it funny with either diapers or pads or tampons, they always use that blue dye to demonstrate absorbency. I always think, "Who the fuck are they marketing to, Smurfs?"

There used to be a company where I lived called "BJ Services". I don't know if it still exists.
There's also a van which often parks near us with the most unfortunately chosen initials for a company ever: ISIS. No, I'm not kidding. I'll try and get a photo of it next time I see it. If this area was a bit rougher, the van would probably have been trashed by now.
