What is the ACME brand?

Anyone who has seen the Looney Tunes cartoons, and the Roadrunner in particular, will be more than familiar with the ACME acronym, but really, where does it come from?

80 years ago, when the telephone directory business became popular, entrepreneurs realized that those businesses whose names began with the letter would be listed at the beginning of their categories.
A name that said that your company is the first one, without doubt, the best.

The joke came to the Warner Bros cartoons; in 1949, when he made his first appearance in a cartoon of the Road Runner.

BUT WHAT IS YOUR TRUE ORIGIN?

That brand made us think that EVERYTHING was made from its factories during our childhood and its initials in English corresponded to "A Company that Makes Everything".

However, some attribute in its translation to that it means "Articles With Many Errors", which sounds very logical if we only remember the skills that the Coyote passed wanting to catch the Road Runner.

The origin and Greek meaning of this word "akme", is "the apogee", "highest point" or "peak" and was often used to refer to the best of a category, and interestingly, in the American legal system it is Common to find these acronyms to refer to ghost companies that are involved with some kind of fraud.

The popularity of ACME reached with "The Coyote and the Road Runner", because the Coyote used the defective products all the time to try to catch the Road Runner.
