Roncobranded
Roncobranded is a term that refers to a phenomenon where a brand's reputation is negatively affected due to its association with a controversial or unethical product, service, or individual. The term is a portmanteau of "Ronco," the brand of electric appliances known for their controversial marketing tactics, and "branded," referring to the association of a brand with a particular product or image. Roncobranded is often used to describe situations where a brand's reputation is tarnished due to its association with a product that is seen as unethical, such as a product that is seen as promoting harmful or dangerous practices. The term is also used to describe situations where a brand's reputation is tarnished due to its association with a controversial individual, such as a brand that is seen as supporting or promoting a controversial political or social cause. Roncobranded is a reminder that a brand's reputation is not just about the products or services it offers, but also about the values and principles it stands for. A brand that is seen as promoting harmful or unethical practices may find that its reputation is tarnished, and its customers may be reluctant to support it.
