Let me tell you a story;

There was a cleaning product known once as "Jif" in the UK, but called "cif" in the rest of europe. However, that was because only English language defines the "J" as it is and the rest of europe couldn't pronounce the "J" so it was called "Cif" to avoid implications. A decade ago they changed "Jif" to match "Cif" in the UK, because it was costing them more money to call it a different name to the rest of europe... The name of the product is a pun from the term "I'll do it in a jiffy", which is slang for "a short period of time", in otherwords "Jif" implied the product would clean in not time at all. However, to a English speaker the name "cif" sounds like a diease... Lol, the product went from being a popular consumer name to practically unheard of within a year of the name change. ^_^'

In otherwords, Coca-Cola has more then one name world wide. Hence why "Coke-Cola" can also be used here on this page. 'Coca' cannot be translated into all languages that well. You find it happens a lot, most companies don't always rush to make the name universally the same, as the "Jif/Cif" demostrated, you can largely turn a otherwise successful product into a complete flop just by changing the name.
