* Brazilian comedy group Casseta & Planeta has the Tabajara Organizations, "a monopolist megaconglomerate" with products that usually have names in [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign pseudo-English]].

See also MegaCorp, TropeCo/TropeCo, and WeSellEverything.

*** There was also Fontaine Futuristics, the company that Frank Fontaine owned before Ryan took it over. In the original it was established that it was the second most successful brand in Rapture, but it wasn't until ''Infinite'''s ''BioShockInfinite/BurialAtSea'' DLC hat we learned they made everything; toys, clothes, jewelry, weapons, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick genetic wonder drugs]].

* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': The Serious Group is the series' equivalent to ACME. Among their products are the Serious Onsen, whose various baths include showers with the power of fire hoses, a bath that increases the bust size of any women who enter, and the "Serious Paradise Bath", which very nearly sends the entire cast ''to'' Paradise. A later chapter features their "Addictive Cabbages", which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: cabbage so good it overrides everyones' desire for yakiniku that everyone had gone out to eat originally. Rentarou has to exploit his girlfriends' even greater addiction to kissing him to overcome it.

* Many objects in ''VideoGame/{{Zork}}'' are labelled "Another Fine Product of the FrobozzCo Magic (Noun) Corporation" if you take the time to inspect them in game.

* Daffy Duck is a salesman for Ace Novelty Company who peddles his wares to Foghorn Leghorn and Barnyard Dawg in "The High and the Flighty."

* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' is set in a town called Acme Acres. Guess what product brand is always used.

For this wiki's purposes, an Acme Corporation is ''any'' generic corporation that seems to supply ''[[CrazyPrepared everything]]'' a character, or entire cast, uses. These supplies are, of course, Acme products. Not to be confused with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACME any of the myriad non-fictional objects and entities bearing the moniker]] (which is what our TropeNamer was making fun of at the time).

* The TropeNamer comes from ACME Products, frequently used in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoons, especially the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner shorts, in which the coyote orders tons of products from ACME that he tries to use to catch the Road Runner.

* There actually ''is'' a supermarket chain called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_Markets Acme Markets]] (no relation to the TropeNamer, though), which can be surprising for people who know the fictional brand but had never heard of the chain growing up. However, the chain is mainly based in the Mid-to-Upper Atlantic region of the United States, making it an aversion of the trope.

* WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse cartoons from the '30s, '40s, [[WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse 90s, and early 2000s]] often featured a similar company called Ajax, although this varied between being an actual Acme-style corporation and being Mickey's rink-a-dink entrepreneurial outfits ([[DepartmentofRedundancyDepartment "Ajax Clock Cleaners, we clean clocks!" "Ajax Ghost Hunters, we hunt ghosts!"]] etc.) However, the Donald Duck short ''Cured Duck'' featured an "Acme Garage".

* ''Series/TheSunnySideUpShow'': The Sunshine Barn, the show's main setting[[note:]]until 2015, with the move to a city apartment to commemerate Creator/{{Sprout}}'s tenth anniversary[[/note]]]], is on Sprout Farm, and, in several segments, Sprout Farm-branded food products can be seen.

* Fujifilm, while primarily an imaging company, has also dabbled in photochemicals, biopharmaceutical products such as stem cells, antiviral drugs and regenerative medicine, recording media, X-ray imaging and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking cosmetics]]. Fujifilm's [[https://petapixel.com/2016/04/08/film-makeup-fuji-made-ultimate-pivot-business-dried/ venture into skincare]] was said to have kept the company afloat despite film being rendered obsolete by digital photography and smartphones, and they were able to apply their knowledge gained from photographic research in achieving the ideal skin tone. And it actually makes sense too--on a marketing standpoint it would be preferable and more photogenic to take photos whilst wearing Astralift makeup by Fujifilm.

* [[http://www.cdrking.com/ CD-R King]], known in the Philippines for selling blank recordable media and memory cards, and usually caters to internet kiosk owners. As mentioned earlier, they do sell CD-Rs, but has since ventured into selling a myriad of items, all to the point of carrying things not normally found in a gadget store like [[http://3rdworldgeeks.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/rice-cooker.jpg rice cookers]], and even electric bicycles. This became a source of humour with Filipinos, who jokingly suggested that they might be carrying even more unlikely items such as frozen fish or helicopters. And like Acme, they're derided by some for their products' hit-and-miss build quality - some items work reliably for a long time, while others would work for days or months but eventually break down or malfunction. Though in recent years CD-R King declined partly due to legal pressure owing to the company selling recording media at a discount, which, as you might guess, has been seen as facilitating piracy, and also due to cloud services and flash-based storage displacing optical discs as a primary storage medium.

* Hitachi, the company that makes everything from MRI machines and nuclear reactors to vacuum cleaners and vibrators.
* Generic store brands, such as Wal-mart's Great Value and Target's Up & Up, qualify as this. They sell everything under that brand from food to toiletries.

* Geico once ran commercials featuring Acme Insurance as its competitor.
