Names don't always translate well....

Sometimes clever marketing in one language, fails in another language.  There are a few of those here in Mexico.      

Bimbo bread / baked goods has been a favourite of mine since my first visit to Mexico.  It's just so darn cute.  And popular!! It's so popular, it's even written on some sports jerseys.  Which makes it even funnier.  I don't know if the brand exists throughout all of Latin America, but I've also seen it in Costa Rica.    

Apparently, in Ghana, there's a cola called "Pee Cola".  Which means "very good" cola.  Which is interesting because the Internet tells me that English is the official language in Ghana.  Though 250 languages are spoken there.  I wonder in which language this product is branded???

PS.  Let's not forget the Chevy Nova car.  Cute name in English.  In Spanish, it means "no go".  Not ideal....
