Don’t Laugh.

In Saudi Arabia they Spell “Pepsi” - “Bebsi”.

The reason may not be obvious to those not educated in Arabic.

- - - The letter “P” if used as a stick figure would represent a standing woman (and Her Breasts) - consequently they use a “B”.

Which to me represents a woman’s breasts from a top view.

Not true!

Arabic does not have the "P" sound. In Arabic even Palestine is pronounced "Balestine". The "P" sound exists in Persian and Urdu but not in Arabic
