Worst product name and packaging: PumpOne PumpedForLife
If ever there were a perfect opportunity to bring Hans and Franz back as product spokesmen, this would be it. Instead, the marketing whizzes behind PumpOne PumpedForLife decided to underscore an extremely awkward product name with packaging that makes us feel extremely awkward. More specifically: A shirtless, muscle-bound man is shoving an iPod into our faces while doing arm curls. Instead of getting "pumped," this box makes us want to go to the nearest tavern and get Duffed. And then ask Duffman to protect us from scary PumpedForLife Man.
