Northernbloke | Help With Product Names.? |
I know that WD40 is called that because it is the 40th try at getting it right, but does anyone know any other ones. For instance 7up, is that called that because the other 6 were rubbish ? |

Here is something intresting about 7UP.
The History of 7-UP
Can you imagine walking up to a store clerk and asking for a "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda?" Well, apparently no one else could imagine doing it either because the name of this soda was quickly changed to 7 UP. Charles Leiper Grigg of the Howdy Corporation invented 7 UP, or Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda, in October of 1929. The name didn't go over very well, and was changed to 7 UP Lithiated Lemon Soda, and then to just 7 UP in 1936.
Where did the name 7 UP come from?
Nobody knows, but here are a couple of theories:
There are (or were) seven ingredients in 7Up.
The original 7Up bottle was seven ounces.
Mr. Grigg saw a cattle brand that looked like 7 Up, and he liked it enough to name his soda after it.
Mr. Grigg named his new soda after a popular card game at the time that was also called 7up.
Why dont you just google what you wanna know. |

The Jarvik-7,the first successful artificial heart, was the seventh effort, there were six prototypes before the "7". |

I though 7 up was a combination of seven citrus flavours |

I think Heinz 57 was so-called 'cos they started out with only 57 Varieties of goods |

How about:
The San Francisco 49ers
The Citroen C3
Apollo 11
Toyota MR 2
PlayStation 3
And the winner of the most tries before getting it right is...
XBOX 360! |

What a wast of my time reading this rubbish,
you need to get a life, or better still, Think of name that you could change for money , that right
Now do i do that you ask ?
There are company out looking at the name of a product which sell in the UK , Now change the name to an internal ion name that's the ideal, Then you sell the name to them , can be up to 10,000 pounds or more,
Hope this helps |

Yahoo has an interesting name history!
>The Web site started out as "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" but eventually received a new moniker with the help of a dictionary. The name Yahoo! is an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle," but Filo and Yang insist they selected the name because they liked the general definition of a yahoo: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth." Yahoo! itself first resided on Yang's student workstation, "Akebono," while the software was lodged on Filo's computer, "Konishiki" - both named after legendary sumo wrestlers. <
It seems that names can come from anywhere. |
