I was going to compile a list of the official whatever of the electrical industry. So far I can only come up with:

Amp The official power drink
AC/DC The official rock band
Tesla The official back-up band
Electric Ave. The official road

Any clever ideas?

In the UK we used to have a Choc bar caled Fuse. Could be the official snack. Do not know if its still available must look !!

The Lighthouse Family might be the official pop group.
