  One of the best ones I have heard of was the problem Chrysler
had when it started selling cars in China.  Depending on how
the company name is said, it can mean "to die a tortuous death".

Coca Cola had a problem also.  Apparently, if said correctly/
incorrectly it could mean "bite the wax turtle.
