I had a good laugh off this list of unintentionally offensive product names. As the title hints, Barf detergent is up there. But there’s one name that takes the cake. It hails from Germany, as it had to. To be precise, the electronics firm Trekstor decided to name the black-colored addition to their “iBeat” line the Trekstor i.Beat Blaxx.

The name sounds convoluted enough that, no doubt, it took lots of effort-by-committee to find it. And all of that just to get the whole thing catastrophically wrong. Sounds somewhat typical of Germany to me…
