Favorite fictional product names.
Edited on Fri Sep-23-05 12:33 PM by Beware the Beast Man
Inspired by atomic-fly's "big Kahuna Burger" thread.

The Simpsons is great for them- Laramie cigarettes, Buzz Cola, Duff Beer, Krustyburger, etc.

ON EDIT- on last night's "CSI," someone was smoking Morley cigarettes. Wasn't that the Cigarette Smoking Man's brand. Must have been a writer for the X-Files on that episode.

6. Chessy Poofs (South Park)
If we didn't eat cheesy poofs, we'd be lame.

They used to make "roll your own" kits, and may still be in business for all I know.
