Reminds me of a story I heard about a liqueur.  

The marketing agents for Irish Mist liqueur decided to try and sell
it in Germany.  To this end, they ran taste tests, and, finding the
drink well received, proceeded to have stores stock it.  However, it
did not sell.  The marketeers were puzzled by this, so they
investigated, and found that Germans wouldn't buy a product called
Irish Mist, since mist means (coloquially) piss (the noun, not the
verb).
