Answer 7

It stands for quality

The product was originally called Baby g**s and in 1926, the labels were changed to read Q-tips® Baby g**s. Later the name Baby g**s was discarded and Q-tips® became the identifying mark for cotton swabs. The Q in Q-tips® stands for quality and the word tips describes the cotton swab at the end of the stick.

the manufacturer of Q-tips, says the "Q" is for quality, other sources with time to contemplate such conundrums have drawn their own conclusions. Some speculate that the name derives from the profile of the swab itself.
