Acme Products: Difference between revisions

* The Pixler corporation in ''[[Abarat]]'' doesn't have a monopoly, but it likes to say in its marketing copy that it will provide for you from cradle to grave—which it very well may, given that it runs both hospitals and funeral centers. In between, it provides everything from food to education. (And yes, these people are [[Mega Corp|evil]].)

* Jasper Fforde's ''[[Thursday Next]]'' series has the Goliath Corporation. Its motto is "For all you'll ever need."

* The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation from ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'' produces most of the sentient robots, sentient computers, and sentient elevators ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]) seen in the series. They have a very poor reputation and at one point it's mentioned that their complaints division is the only part of the company that turns a profit.

** The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation describes the robot as "your plastic pal that's fun to be with". The Guide describes The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as, well, a string of rather bad words which were still marginally fit to print. For instance, one of the more infamous products was an automated door which responds "Please enjoy your trip through this door", "Thank you for making a simple door very happy" or simply "[[Thanking the Viewer|Thank You]]" whenever anyone walks through (the exact wording varies from print to radio to TV).
