Still, when you're conducting business, a simple misstep can translate
into a big blunder. Devine recalls a commercial Pepsi-Cola did for
China. They wanted to say "Come alive with Pepsi." But it translated
as "Pepsi will bring your ancestors up from the grave." (Coca-Cola
executives didn't do much better: Searching for a Chinese sound-alike
name for their product, they initially settled on words that meant
"bite the wax tadpole.")
