Bad Product Names

By on October 2, 2012 in Humor

We will buy many products in our lifetime. Many times packaging, marketing and advertising will make a difference in which brand we choose to purchase.

However, even before a product is manufactured, wrapped up and shipped out, it has to have a name.

The moment the product is given a name, a crucial marketing decision is made.

And sometimes it’s a doozy.

    Although it did not used to happen very often, products these days change name fairly often. I still remember when jif became cif to suit the greater global market.
    The only other thing to remember is that a product name is not really bad if you are only ever going to sell such a product in one global region where the name is not actually lame!

    Snob: when you’re too good for the ‘normal’ stuff. That was exactly what I thought when I saw the picture. I am kind of interested in that terror stuff though. Why does one have slightly less than the others if they’re supposed to be on a store shelf, unopened?
