Not so much a product, but a tv Cookery programme on SBS called "Simply Ming"...having lived many years in Scotland, this made me chuckle, I still use the term 'mingin' instead for example 'awful'! - incidentally, he's an asian chef

The name Coon came from Edward William Coon who patented a process for the accelerated ripening of natural, unprocessed cheese in 1926.

Re: Weirdest names for stuff ??
Aussie brand names aren't weird - just different. It's like a yank saying 'oh you drive on the wrong side of the road.' Not wrong - just different. BUT in saying that... I came across "Dr. Brains Famous Meaty Faggots" in a Belfast Sainsbury's that made me look twice and laugh. NO WAY I'd ever put one of them in my mouth! But I have some gay friends who would!
