[Misc] Judging company products by name alone.

Are there are any products that you can't ever see yourself buying based on the name alone, without ever having tried them?

For me, in the world of audio :

Schiit.
Aful.


Conversely, anything you'd buy, or have bought, purely because you like the company name?

Skoda

And yet it makes some of the best cars on the market. I'd take numerous Skodas over their rivals from pretty much any car manufacturer.

With the price of petrol these days, is filling one up with fuel still the way to double it's value?
