Product names become depleted of meaning.

Isn't it odd how product names become depleted of meaning?

Wile E. Coyote just uses "Acme" products, and the word "acme" is just Acme, it means nothing like "pinnacle" to most people when they hear it.

Similarly, "Lucky Charms" is just a brand name, not the meaning of the combined words unless you really think about it.

I thought of this a few weeks ago, when I was doing some crossword puzzles that contained those answers.
