Name an obscure product from a famous company.

You mean, like a Logitech Backpack? They apparently make them, but I've never seen one...

Well, a lot of folks have tried making cell phones and PDA's but decided against further products. ASUS had a PDA for a while.
But maybe you meant more obscure than that.

I suspect most modern gamers know nothing of Philips CDi.

Yep, a lot of very... non-defense type companies were recruited for making weapons during WWII.


I didn't know about BAR, but I knew IBM made the M1 carbine. Hell, general motors made a lot more M1s than Winchester did.

That's good! Does Lisa, count, or is it too well known?

Big Peach from Big Red, it's one of my favorite sodas but it's pretty hard to find.

OMFG, my very first motorcycle was what is called here a an m50-s, made by Aermacchi. The only difference between mine and the one in that photo is the mine, iirc, had HUGE "Harley-Davidson: in bold, black block letters on the gas tank, laughingly much larger than in that photo.

Somewhere still, I have a pic of me on it, back in the day.

Offer me money, gilded treasure, or your first born and I will search out and scan, upload and post that pic. Money works best; a collective minimum of $50 will do nicely. 😛

I once teased Roger (remember him? -- one supremely excellent fellow) that I'd had my own Harley, and was going to search out and post to him that pic. :laugh:
