German Products with Funny Names

After reading Neil's post about Denglish, I couldn't help think about some of the German products that I have encountered here that a.) when I literally translate them back into English they are amusing or b.) are just plain amusing.

Schwarzkopf
-- This line of hair care products translates to "Black head"...eww!

BiFi Balls
Pronouced "beefy balls," (I think)
-- I have yet to try these little sausages wrapped up in a bread-like substance, but everytime I see their ad, I can't help but snicker.

P.S. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
