Gross-Out Names

I thought we'd hit bottom, brand-name-wise, with MomSpit "no-rinse cleanser," which I wrote about last week. But no. Look what else I've added to the Ew Files:

• Butt Paste diaper-rash ointment. (I confess I've given this product as part of a new-baby gift; the mother pretended to be amused.)
• Tough Titties Nipple Rub ("for nursing mums"), from a company that calls itself Least Likely 2 Breed. (Via Wes Phillips, who also contributed MomSpit.) The Least Likely 2 Breed stable (repository? arsenal?) of reproductively themed products also includes...
• Bad Ass Booty Balm, a competitor of Butt Paste, and ...
• Mother Effer's Va-J-J Jelly, a personal lubricant that seems poised to cash in on the, uh, hoohah over the va-jay-jay word, and ...
• Roid Rage, "the classiest flashiest hemorrhoid remedy on the planet." (It's on the Least Likely home page, but doesn't seem to be for sale.)

Moving northward, anatomically, we also have:

• Chicken Poop lip balm--yes, you put it on your mouth. Entrepreneur Jamie Tabor, a k a "Simone Chickenbone," says she got the name from her grandfather's advice for dry lips: "Rub chicken poop on 'em--that way you won't lick 'em." (Hat tip to my fellow namers at Catchword, who are not responsible for the Chicken Poop name.)
• Alligator Poo Lollies--yes, you put them in your mouth. They're pillow-shaped hard candies "handcrafted from pure sugar crystals, intense flavor, and lots of hard work." This one also came to my attention by way of Catchword, which spots a trend here: "2008 will be the year of the Poo. You just watch."

Poo? Makes me rumbly in my tumbly.
