I remember when "Creap" came out. It was a clone of the American product "Pream" - which stood for "Powdered Cream". So some Japanese company stole the idea, and decided it'd be a great idea to call it "Creap" for "Cream Powder".
Another product - a drink concentrate that has no equivalent in the States - was "Calpis".
And can you imagine an American company naming a brand of soap like this? ---
Apparently they try to be apolitical by offering both a Red and Blue packaged version!
But the all-time snicker-inducing product name was a brand of milk, where the name was shortened from the word "Homogenized" ----
