The Acme Corporation is a fictional corporation that exists in the Looney Tunes universe. It appeared most prominently in the Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote cartoons, which made Acme famous for outlandish and downright dangerous products that failed catastrophically at the worst possible times.

The first appearance of the Acme Corporation was in a Buddy cartoon (Buddy’s Bug Hunt). It also appeared in the Egghead cartoon Count Me Out in which Egghead purchases a “Learn How To Box” kit from Acme.

The company is never clearly defined, but appears to be a conglomerate which produces everything and anything imaginable (leading to the backronym “American Company Making Everything” or “A Company (that) Makes Everything”), no matter how elaborate or extravagant. An example is the Acme Giant Rubber Band, subtitled “(For Tripping Road Runners)”, which would appear to be produced specifically for Wile E. Coyote.

The company name is ironic since the word acme actually means the best or pinnacle. Generally, products from the fictional Acme Corporation are very generic and tend to fail.

Acme delivery service, on the other hand, is second to none. The Coyote can literally drop an order into a mailbox (or enter an order on a Web site in the “Looney Tunes: Back In Action” movie), and have the defective and/or dangerous product in his hands within seconds.
