Pepsi

Translation work can be very tricky as words in one language may come out meaning something else in another language. Take for instance this trivia on the soft-drink Pepsi, borrowed from FoodReference.com

Pepsi spent a lot of money on an advertising campaign in China with the slogan 'Pepsi gives you life' - the only problem was they got the translation a little wrong - the translation came out 'Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave.'

See what I mean?
