* The point of an Emerald Nuts ad campaign a few years back. There's a bizarre scene, for example, two guys circling each other in shopping carts proclaiming "My name is Norman and I am great!" "No, I'm a better Norman than you!" The tagline: "'''E'''gomanical '''N'''ormans love '''E'''merald '''N'''uts!" There were quite a few variants (Elegant Naysayers, Evil Navigators, Extinguished Novelists, etc), and the campaign built up to a [[Super Bowl Special]] in which '''E'''agle-eyed '''M'''achete '''E'''nthusiasts '''R'''ecognize '''A''' '''L'''ittle '''D'''ruid '''N'''etworking '''U'''nder '''T'''he '''S'''tairs.
** There was an Amstel (beer brand) campaign some years ago whose ads consisted of really funny songs, like "'''A'''migo '''M'''ío, '''S'''ólo '''T'''ú '''E'''ncuentras '''L'''eña" (My Friend, Only You Find Firewood) or "'''A'''migo '''M'''ío, '''S'''i '''T'''e '''E'''charas '''L'''aca" (My Friend, If only You Wore Hairspray). Of course, the point of the ad was how great Amstel was for sharing with your friends.

* Colgate toothpaste contains sodium monofluorophosphate (MFP), whose initials were once marketed as '''M'''aximum '''F'''luoride '''P'''rotection.
* In 1970, Carvel Ice Cream [[Product as Superhero| had a heroic mascot]] named Captain Carvel; the villain in the comic book shorts was the Ice Cream Hater, who hated ice cream because his [[Unfortunate Name]], Ichabod Charles Earl Cream made an acronym for I.C.E. cramCream that made him the target of bullying as a child.
