Brand blunder occurs when there is an error with the branding of a product that often stems from a misunderstanding of the language, culture and customer attitudes in the market. Here are some examples of brand blunder that made me chuckle:

Crapsy Fruit is the name of a French breakfast cereal. I wouldn't risk trying it before an important meeting.
