Whopper
The Whopper is the signature hamburger brand of international fast food restaurant chain Burger King, its Australian franchise Hungry Jack's, and BK Whopper Bar kiosks. Introduced in 1957 in response to the large burger size of a local restaurant in Gainesville, Florida, it became central to Burger King's advertising, including the chain's tagline "the Home of the Whopper."

Sea-Monkeys
Sea-Monkeys is a marketing term for brine shrimp (Artemia) sold as novelty aquarium pets.
