Marketing mistakes abroad


Recommended Posts

I'm a Mario Kart fan and I did always wonder why the monkey is called Donkey Kong when he is not even a donkey!

By the way, one thing that I found to be funniest here in my country is the lottery. One of the lottery companies here is called TOTO 4D. But in my mother tongue language, TOTO means female's V. So when a group of villagers from my village are going to buy a lottery number then they will have an endless jokes about going to buy a female's V!

On the cover of an English language textbook in China:

On a vending machine in a bathroom:

"Because I do not have a tissue always ready in this restroom, please buy used one."

I would hope that the used ones are free!
