Title: What's the funniest company name you've ever seen?
Post by: Replicant on September 25, 2002, 12:49:29 PM: Hi guys

Last year I saw this small tanker truck and across the front and sides it displayed the companies name:-

FUCHS LUBRICATION SERVICES :)

I thought it may have been a joke, but no, there is a German/Iranian company by that name! http://iraninternational.irtp.com/issue_11/ads/fuchs.htm

So, have any of you seen amusing company names?

This isnt true. There was the Canadian Alliance, that consisted of The reform party and ex-progressive conservatives. But there has never been a "Canadian Reform Alliance Party." But you are right on your verdict, the Canadian Alliance sucked huge donkey......uhh yeah.

Anyway, there is:

"All-rite Plumbing and heating." If one didnt look at their sign and just heard about them in conversation, you would think they sucked.

"damn near professional plumbing and heating"

Then there is the good old "Slurp and Munch" convenience store

Post by: cpxxx on May 25, 2013, 08:27:14 AM: I actually remember this thread, 11 years seems like a long time ago now.

As for funny or strange company names. The Swastika Laundry was my favourite. Their logo was a black swastika on a white circle on red painted vans. The laundry itself had a giant swastika on the chimney. This was in Dublin, Ireland up until the 1980s. I remember seeing them around town. But in 1912 when it was founded it wasn't odd.
