Filler Entry: Mistakes In Advertising

Here are some silly English mistakes from people who really should know better:-

COCA COLA

When Coca Cola was first introduced into China they named it Ke-Kou-Ke-La. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect.

Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent: Ko-Kou-Ko-Le, which can be roughly translated as "happiness in the mouth." (have you seen what it can do to teeth?).


PEPSI

Not to be outdone by Coke when Pepsi started a marketing campaign in Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan "Come Alive with the Pepsi Generation" came out as "Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead."

Teddy Bear

Have you ever wonder why this cuddly teddy bear is called a teddy bear???

Here is why...

Theodore (also known as Teddy) Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, is the person responsible for giving the teddy bear his name.

On November 14, 1902, Roosevelt was helping settle a border dispute between Mississippi and Louisiana. During his spare time he attended a bear hunt in Mississippi. During the hunt, Roosevelt came upon a wounded young bear and ordered the mercy killing of the animal.

The Washington Post ran a editorial cartoon created by the political cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman that illustrated the event. The cartoon was called "Drawing the Line in Mississippi" and depicted both state line dispute and the bear hunt. At first Berryman drew the bear as a fierce animal, the bear had just killed a hunting dog. Later, Berryman redrew the bear to make it a cuddly cub.

The cartoon and the story it told became popular and within a year, the cartoon bear became a toy for children called the teddy bear.

Who made the first toy bear called teddy bear?

Well there are several stories, below is the most popular one:
Morris Michtom made the first official toy bear called the teddy bear. Michtom owned a small novelty and candy store in Brooklyn, New York. His wife Rose was making toy bears for sale in their store. Michtom sent Roosevelt a bear and asked permission to use the teddy bear name. Roosevelt said yes. Michtom and a company called Butler Brothers, began to mass-produce the teddy bear. Within a year Michtom started his own company called the Ideal Novelty and Toy Company.

However, the truth is that no one is sure who made the first teddy bear, please read the resources to the right and below for more information on other origins.

mercy killing = An easy or painless death, or the intentional ending of the life of a person suffering from an incurable or painful disease at his or her request

Muslim Socks (Kaos Kaki Wudhu)

I found this ad while updating my FB...





"NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMOVE YOUR SOCKS WHENTAKING THE ABLUTION
(WUDHU)!"

Malaysia : RM14.00

According to the ad:

The MuslimahSocks has a special opening under the toes. When taking your ablution (wudhu),
you just need to pull the socks up (without removing it). Once you are done with the ablution (wudhu), simply rolls the socks down to cover back you toes and it's all done!

My question is....

Is it necessary? Why dont you just take it off?? How lazy can you be? Hmmm...

p/s: The foot looks a little scary.. sort of lifeless...what do you think???

*** Kaos - Indonesian for socks.
