Hybrid scran

We appear to be in the dawning of the age of miscellaneous; well in food nomenclature anyway. Recently I've heard of "DUFFINS", "CHEESE N BURGER" and various other misnomers, which I might list should they come to mind. I have noticed that instead of giving the new product a new name, the what some think of as zany but is probably just lazy option of a port manteau is de rigeur. The problem with this option is that would be copiers can use the discarded parts of each word and churn out "MUNUTS", "MOUGHNUTS" or other shodworthy monikers without breaching trademarks. I invite other examples of these hybrid/mongrel food names which have cropped up in recent times. For example "MOCKTAIL" has just come to mind.
