Bizzare find at the supermarket

I was recently at the supermarket's medicine aisle and i noticed a cold medication. The bizzare thing? The brand name of said cold medication was 666. Thats the name, seriously, im not making this up. I have no idea why they picked that name, but it CANT be good for sales.

Post some pics.

Edit: It's reeeaaal:



"666: The choice of King Diamond and Venom for all of their nasal congestion needs."

I googled it and apparently its a legit product by a legit company:
http://www.monticellodrug.com/products/666-cold-prep.html

Still, you'd think they'd pick a name thats a bit less "questionable"

EDIT: Also, this "legit" company doesnt even have a wikipedia page. Of course, that may not be a bad thing considering recent events

"New 666...when you have a devil of a cold."

i can imagine some dumbfounded looks from the marketing department when someone points this one out..

"Try 666... it'll beat the hell out of your cold!"

Do they have a product for 'roids?

"New 666 will make you feel better so fast your head will spin."

'666 will the kick your hemorrhoids right out of your ass!'

Wife- "honey"

Husband- "yes dear"

Wide- "umm, what is this ?" (husband looks)

Husband= "cold medicine, it was on your list"

Wife-"I wanted something else...why did you buy this ?"

Husband= "the devil made me do it"

Prefered cold medicine of the Antichrist.

Terrible brand name...

The medical doctors review on the new product 666:



Two thumbs down....way down.

Anyone heard the jingle for this brand?:

"666, the cold medicine of the beast, mucus and phglem were borne to be released"

If this was a sleep medicine, it would say "666, the number of the-ZZZZ's"

Someone's product marketing team needs to be FIRED!

"Will have you up and running with the devil in no time"

I don't see how something like that can make it through all the layers products have to get through before they are on the shelves. Even if the company brain trust was so naive, you'd think like one person in the test marketing process would mention this.

I can see them looking at the sales figures puzzled why they haven't sold many in the Bible belt but Norwegian sales are through the roof.

Glen Benton is their top salesman. He earns a few bucks here and there for cigarettes.

Still a bad name if you're trying to market the product.

Invented by our founder Tharp Spencer Roberts, 666 cold remedies were originally patented as "Roberts Remedies #666". The name derived from the prescription pad number on which he wrote a formula to treat a rural preacher with a severe case of malarial fever and chills . This formula was credited with saving the life of the much beloved fever sufferer and it came to be requested by reference to the "666" number off the prescription pad.

Ha! How about that, you Christian turds! A priest is to blame.

+1 points for obscurity! Or maybe obliqueness.
