Now that Looney Tunes is on-topic, maybe I can get an answer for something I've been wondering about for a while: Looney Tunes characters, (most famously Wile E. Coyote), always use products with the brand name ACME:

Do they ever use products anywhere from a different fictional company?

    @ApproachingDarknessFish I think "jim-dandy" might be an adjective. Not one you'd hear in past 30 years, though.

Road Runner brands



In Fast and Furry-ous (1949) Wile E. Coyote uses an "Ace" brand electric motor.



enter image description here



and "Fleet-Foot" jet-propelled tennis shoes.



enter image description here




In Beep, Beep! (1952) Wile E. Coyote uses an empty "Harris Soup" box as a stand. This, presumably was an homage to animator Ken Harris.



enter image description here




In Zipping Along (1953) we see another Ace product, steel shot.



enter image description here




In Ready, Set, Zoom! (1955), our hapless protagonist travels through a mine owned by the "Selzer Mining Co.", presumably an homage to producer Eddie Selzer.



enter image description here




In Zoom and Bored (1957) Wile E. Coyote has gotten himself an "Ahab" branded harpoon gun.



enter image description here




In Going! Going! Gosh! we find that Wile E. Coyote has bought an "Excelsior" branded electric fan.



enter image description here




In Rushing Roulette (1965) we encounter "Ajax" brand glue.



enter image description here



and what appears to be a Greyhound branded bus. Note that this is a real brand, not a fictional one.



enter image description here




In Zip 'n' Snort (1961) we also see another Ajax product, bird seed.



enter image description here




In Compressed Hare (1961), Bugs Bunny orders a "Zajaxi" branded dynamo to use against Wile E. Coyote.



enter image description here




In Adventures of the Road Runner (1962) we see that Wile E. Coyote has foolishly been buying "Road-Runner Blue-Print Co." branded blueprints.



enter image description here




In To Beep or Not to Beep (1963) we see that the Wile E. Coyote has foolishly bought a giant (and consistently defective) catapult from the "Road-Runner Manufacturing Co."



enter image description here




Looney-Tunes co-branded adverts



In this series of Plymouth Cars commercial (this one from 1968), we learn that Ajax also manufacture rocket cars.

enter image description here




In a series of commercials for Energizer Batteries, Wile E. Coyote finds that their fictional rival brand "SUPERVOLT" are (as usual) underwhelming.



enter image description here




In the late 1960s, Warner Bros came up with the idea for a branded Road Runner cereal called "Post's Beep Beep Cereal" and even went as far as mocking up an animatic to show Post Cereals executives what the advert might look like. Since the brand only existed on paper (the deal wasn't finalised), this seems to fall into the category of 'fictional'.



enter image description here




Recent Looney Tunes brands



In Tiny Toon Adventures, toons have a choice of attending Acme Looniversity or its rival, "Perfecto Prep" as seen in The Acme Bowl (1990) and other episodes.

enter image description here




In Buddy's Beer Garden (1933), Buddy serves "Bock" beer.



enter image description here




In Sittin' on a Backyard Fence (1933), the alleycats are sitting on a fence with posters that advertise two distinctive brands; "Bull Dernem" tobacco and "Tarnation" milk.



enter image description here




How Do I Know It's Sunday? (1934) features a veritable cornucopia of fake and parody brands; "Anchor" sardines, "Pink Ribbon" malt, "American Biscuit Baking Co." crackers, "Aunt Mamie" and "Aunt Eliza" pancake flour, "Scream" wheat, "Old Maid" cleanser, "Burno" canned heat, "Searchlight" cleanser, "Jamble Inc." cleaner, "MB Spice Co." tinned peppers, "Garo" syrup, "Pratts" biscuits, "Sunny Side" raisins, "Kelly's" corn flakes, "Best-o" toilet paper, "Norm's" crackers and "Tibby" evaporated milk.

enter image description here




In Tortoise Beats Hare, Cecil Turtle uses a "Bell Turtlephone Co." branded telephone box to call his family.



enter image description here




In Goofy Groceries (1941) we see another slew of fake and parody product names and company names; "Jelly Bean Co." jelly beans, "Speeds" premium hams, "Guavida Rock Co.", "Star Products", "Sid's" mustard, "Fountain Spray Candy Co.", "Weate Company", "Uama Biscuit Co.", "Superguy Co." soap chips.



enter image description here




In The Wabbit Who Came to Supper (1942), Elmer receives a telegram courtesy of "Eastern Union", an obvious parody of Western Union

    I am simply amazed. The question was asked yesterday at 21:30. Your full answer was done about 12 hours later, including a night. Out of curiosity: how can someone be so knowledgeable about cartoon (and TV details, in general) to dig these up? I answer technical questions and these are easy: if I know the answer, it is a matter of sourcing it correctly, but the sources are usually limited (documentation) and I know where to look for them. Or I have an opinion and it is even simpler. Here you had to dig into cartoons! Knowing which to ding into! Incredible.

    @WoJ - Connor Ratliff's twitter feed was an enormous help, as was the Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runnerr which mentions a variety of other brands and (helpfully) the episodes in which they're found. I also watched about 40 episodes (at 48x speed) to see if I'd missed anything.

    I am simply amazed. The question was asked yesterday at 21:30. Your full answer was done about 12 hours later, including a night. Out of curiosity: how can someone be so knowledgeable about cartoon (and TV details, in general) to dig these up? I answer technical questions and these are easy: if I know the answer, it is a matter of sourcing it correctly, but the sources are usually limited (documentation) and I know where to look for them. Or I have an opinion and it is even simpler. Here you had to dig into cartoons! Knowing which to ding into! Incredible.

    @WoJ - Connor Ratliff's twitter feed was an enormous help, as was the Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runnerr which mentions a variety of other brands and (helpfully) the episodes in which they're found. I also watched about 40 episodes (at 48x speed) to see if I'd missed anything.

Road Runner brands



In Fast and Furry-ous (1949) Wile E. Coyote uses an "Ace" brand electric motor.



enter image description here



and "Fleet-Foot" jet-propelled tennis shoes.



enter image description here




In Beep, Beep! (1952) Wile E. Coyote uses an empty "Harris Soup" box as a stand. This, presumably was an homage to animator Ken Harris.



enter image description here




In Zipping Along (1953) we see another Ace product, steel shot.



enter image description here




In Ready, Set, Zoom! (1955), our hapless protagonist travels through a mine owned by the "Selzer Mining Co.", presumably an homage to producer Eddie Selzer.



enter image description here




In Zoom and Bored (1957) Wile E. Coyote has gotten himself an "Ahab" branded harpoon gun.



enter image description here




In Going! Going! Gosh! we find that Wile E. Coyote has bought an "Excelsior" branded electric fan.



enter image description here




In Rushing Roulette (1965) we encounter "Ajax" brand glue.



enter image description here



and what appears to be a Greyhound branded bus. Note that this is a real brand, not a fictional one.



enter image description here




In Zip 'n' Snort (1961) we also see another Ajax product, bird seed.



enter image description here




In Compressed Hare (1961), Bugs Bunny orders a "Zajaxi" branded dynamo to use against Wile E. Coyote.



enter image description here




In Adventures of the Road Runner (1962) we see that Wile E. Coyote has foolishly been buying "Road-Runner Blue-Print Co." branded blueprints.



enter image description here




In To Beep or Not to Beep (1963) we see that the Wile E. Coyote has foolishly bought a giant (and consistently defective) catapult from the "Road-Runner Manufacturing Co."



enter image description here




Looney-Tunes co-branded adverts



In this series of Plymouth Cars commercial (this one from 1968), we learn that Ajax also manufacture rocket cars.



enter image description here



In the 1969 commercial, we see that Ajax have diversified into 'dumping'.



enter image description here



And in this 1970 commercial, Ajax evidently sell 'car crushers' as well.



enter image description here




In a series of commercials for Energizer Batteries, Wile E. Coyote finds that their fictional rival brand "SUPERVOLT" are (as usual) underwhelming.



enter image description here




In the late 1960s, Warner Bros came up with the idea for a branded Road Runner cereal called "Post's Beep Beep Cereal" and even went as far as mocking up an animatic to show Post Cereals executives what the advert might look like. Since the brand only existed on paper (the deal wasn't finalised), this seems to fall into the category of 'fictional'.



enter image description here




Recent Looney Tunes brands



In Tiny Toon Adventures, toons have a choice of attending Acme Looniversity or its rival, "Perfecto Prep" as seen in The Acme Bowl (1990) and other episodes.



enter image description here



Looney Tunes brands (pre-1960)



In Duck Dodgers In The 24½th Century (1952) Marvin has a tendency to use "A-1" branded products, a brand that's also seen (occasionally) in the early Looney Tunes cartoons.



enter image description here




In Cheese Chasers (1952) Hubie and Herbert raid a cheese factory called "Hunka Cheese Co."



enter image description here




In Mouse Wreckers (1949), Claude Cat has a green bottle of "Harris" hair tonic in his medicine cabinet.



enter image description here
