For literal translations, the best one I can think of is the Japanese (I think) version of "Two Outta Three" which has a large "33%" on the cover. That's one ML item I'd really like to own

Dunno if it's true or not, but ages ago the "Come Alive With Pepsi" slogan was allegedly translated into some language or other as "Bring Your Ancestors Back From The Dead With Pepsi". Wonder what happened to that advertising exec ...
