I've had the usual smattering of "Acme Bird Feed" and the like over the years.  My favorites were derived from the old Bob and Ray Radio Program on NPR, which was brought to you by Einbinder Flypaper, "the brand you've gradually grown to trust over four generations" and the Monongahela Metal Foundry, where you can purchase extra shiny Monongahela Metal Ingots.  The subject of their radio serial "Garish Summit" was the Murchfield Lead Mines.

These exist mostly as waybill destinations, though.
