It's all in the name?

Have you ever seen a product with a name that made you go "what the hell?"? I find that the best place to locate such products are any isle of any Asian store. Lost in translation or just plain bad decisions?

>>>NOTE, ODDEE PICTURES HAVE NOT BEEN SHOWING UP FOR THE MOST PART LATELY, IT IS NOT YOUR COMPUTER<<<











A popular soda from Ghana





A diet cando from the 80's. Yes, that is pronounced "AIDS". Oops!





Chips from Finland. "megapussi", which means "mega bag", is not actually the product name.





A bug repellent from Australia, ironicly used by the armed forces.





A drink from New Zealand





Dinner rolls. The odd thing about this one is that "jussi" does not mean anything, but it is a quite popular Finnish masculine name. I looked up the meaning of the name "Jussi" and found only that it is a Finnish version of "John". There are at least 11 Finnish versions of "John", and seeing as the name "John" means "the lord is gracious", I think that can be ruled out as the meaning of "jussi". Therefor, this is an example of a BAD DECISION.





"Can I get some Jussipussi to go with my cock soup please??"








The other flavors are chocolate, strawberry, and melon.





Tea





A product im sure everybody as seen, as it is sold all over the place.





Award for the most unfortunate bread name?
