Iraq, Barf Detergent, 2000

Iraq, Barf Detergent, 2000 - One of the examples of the sort of cross cultural marketing anomalies they talked about in business school. This Russian made detergent in sale in Iraq was apparently acceptable to the Iraqis. But to sell a laundry detergent called Barf in an English-speaking country probably would not go over too well. Barf, at least in American slang, means vomit.
