Since products began getting named, they have strived for titles which evoke images that move the spirit. Some are classic like Spiced Ham=Spam. Marshmallow spread “Fluff” rather than marshmallow spread. The middle letters of “cREam” being placed between two wafer shaped letters yielding O-re-o.

The Harley Davidson “Fat Boy” is an amuzing example of a product targeted at a select market that would find it funny while most across the board consumers might not choose that. I love that it is so different than the slick and stealthy “Shadows and Ninjas…

There were some magnificent named products for many years….(Rambler Scrambler, Hudson Terraplane, Plymouth Super Bee… then for a long while it seems Cars were named after European Cities, and Trucks after Indian Tribes to the point of nausea

What product name do you admit to falling for?
