    Not companies, but “N*STINK, Backstreet Girls, and 98 Disease” lives rent free in my brain.

    Please tell me that the Backstreet Girls exist now as a badass parody/cover band.

      If Wikipedia is to be believed, the Backstreet Girls are a Norwegian rock band formed in 1984. Which means they predate the Backstreet Boys by a long time.

      But I have to take Wikipedia at its word, since most sources are in Norwegian.

    For years my grub entry read rWindows, it doesn’t make sense in English, but “Ruim” is portuguese for bad, so it sounds similar to badows.

    I found some for Apple. They aren’t all “pejorative” but still

    • Fruit Company (or Fruit Store)
    • i… --> iSheep, iOverprice, iGreed, iLies, iRot
    • Apfel von Braun (Apple sucks up to fascists and authoritarians, Hiterl’s wife was Eva Braun, Apfel = Apple in German)
    • Malus - Latin name for Apple

    None. It doesn’t do anything. Don’t like nestle? I don’t buy their products. Maybe spread the word among family and friends. Same for coca cola. Same for tesla. Same for a bunch of others. Finding names for them seems a bit childish.

      We used to call it whole booze. Because for some foolish reason, the one in our colege town used to put giant displays of wine (like a full wall of cases of the cheap stuff) in the automatic door vestibule.

      So it was pretty common to see a car zoom up, and a couple kids jump out, grab a couple cases and then peel out driving off.

    “Crap made by slaves” for most goods sold here in the US. It’s not always true, but total disregard almost every company with cases of proven forced labor of innocent people including women and children it’s easier for me to write it all off as fucked up to buy. It’s also all made to breakdown into known toxic waste soon enough to force you to buy more soon.

    “Sugar water” for sweet tea soda and filtered juices.

    “Advertised burger” for anything that I know sucks but for no good reason I really crave some gut wrenching to fastfood.

    “Internet of Stings” is a good stallmanism.

    “Unmanned ground drone” for a waymo or anything it. The cameras just creep me out.

    “Children electrocutioners” for ChicFila

    “Relic looters” for hobby lobby

    “The company that stole 300 bucks from me” for local crooked car dealer ship that stole 300 bucks from me.

    I hate ads because they make these horrible places seem normal, so I try my best at anti advertising.
