3. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
I can't believe anyone would even want to taste something so named.

4. The shampoo thing immediately made me think of
Agree shampoo. ("Gets rid of the greasies!") AGREE? What the hell is there for shampoo to agree with?

I hated the books before I worked for the company that made them, and I still do. That mentality always bugged the shit out of me. I'm not a dummy! I want to be more than stupid!

11. Not really stupid, but I guess I've always thought Kleenex

13. Yeah, but they sure "nosed" their way into the American consciousness.

there was a shampoo in an aerosol can called "Psssssst." You sprayed it on and combed it out and your hair was supposed to be clean. It wasn't. Horrible product, horrible name.
