Chevrolet tried to introduce the Nova into Mexico. Unfortunately, no va in
Spanish means no go. Sometimes, it is not a case of a product being badly
named as much as it is a case of events conspiring against it. That was the
situation faced in the early 1980s by the makers of the appetite-suppressing
product Ayds. It was doomed by a nationwide epidemic that was identified by an
acronym that carried the same pronunciation as the product: AIDS. Mexico has
Bimbo Bread. Then there is the story of an Iranian dishwashing soap marketed in
the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan. Although it is not exported at the present time, one can only hope that, if it is, it will be given a new identity to
replace its current brand name: Barf.
