They’re famous for their anvils, TNT and rocket-powered roller skates - so what is ACME? The origins of the most basic brand...


If you’re in the market for a dehydrated boulder, exploding bird seed or a mile long strip of adhesive - then ACME has got it...

A favorite brand of cartoon characters all over the world, ACME has produced just about any product you could dream up. ACME makes some more practical stuff too, as it’s also the name of several real-world businesses. So why ACME? It’s been a popular choice because it would often appear at or near the top in any given yellow pages category. Acme also happens to mean the top or the best. It comes from the Greek akme, meaning the highest point or peak.
