Funniest Product Names. What Are They?

I recently purchased some pipe cleaners at my local convenience store. The owner of the store did not have a firm grasp of english, and I don't speak cantonese. I kept motioning to the shelf behind her, trying to indicate the package I wanted. Meanwhile, the store began filling with other customers.
Looking closely, I read the brandname off the package, and said to her in as clear and confident a voice as I could manage, 'I'd like to buy a package of "Ream and Kleen", please.'
I decided there was no point in feeling embarrassed, but as I left the store, I passed by several customers, all of whom were red-faced and looking decidedly uncomfortable. I have no idea what they thought 'Ream and Kleen' might have been, but it was everything I could manage not to burst out laughing 'til I was outside on the sidewalk.
So, anybody else have a bona fide product with a hilarious name they'd like to entertain us with? I'm all ears, folks.

I saw a doctor's office a few weeks ago that was named Dr. Joe's Pipe Cleaning...I'm assuming he was a proctologist but it still scared me.

Mini-Dickmann's. Marshmellow covered in chocolate (white, milk, or dark) set upon a waffer. They are not too bad. I had them in Germany.

The blue pill is candy! The wife wants him to take the blue pill to make him happier (yes, I used this word purposely) so he would not be so dull (again, purposely) while watching TV.
(yes, I know what the blue pill is)
