Frankenstein or Franken - is sometimes used for nuancing artificial monstrosity as in "frankenfood", a
politically charged name of genetically manipulated
foodstuff.
The Franken- prefix can also mean anything
assembled haphazardly from originally disparate
elements. Especially if those parts were previously
discarded by others, for example, a car built from parts
salvaged from many other cars.
Similarly, for many years
Eddie van Halen played a guitar built in such a manner
which he called the "Frankenstrat".
In 1971, General Mills Cereals introduced "Franken
Berry", a strawberry-flavored corn cereal whose mascot
is a variation of the Monster from the 1931 movie.
"Frankenstein" is the name of a character in the 1975
movie Death Race 2000.
