Well, I was in Hanoi a couple of months back and all the way from the
airport to Hanoi, my taxi was behind a truck painted with the haulage
company's name - Phuc Diep

There's also the instant noodles (well, "superior soup" noodles) I bought in
Hong Kong a few years back - Yu Fuk

I am sure http://www.engrish.com can come up with more ..

Or well, there's this rather decent threads -
