My vote goes to any product where they've added 'turbo' into the product name, where it clearly doesn't make sense.

Wasnt really worth the extra dollar to put a rubber bladder in the fuel tank was it? Cheaper for them to pay the compo to victim's families. Quite a dark past, our beloved blue oval.
