[交流] The best/worst Chinese phonetical translations of foreign words in your opinion

It often amuses, sometimes astonishes me about some Chinese translations of foreign words, in particular brands/makes etc. So I am wondering what you'd think as examples of the best translation, and respectively the worst ones.

Best ones: Cocacola, Boeing,
Worst: taxi, Symantec, Johnny Walker, ...

Sea bay restaurant - just genius, I like it, too!
What is the translation of J an J and Crest? Now I know J & J - "forcefully having birth", haha, yes that might need products from J & J...
Another translation that makes me throw up is "robust", my goodness, how can a whole nation of 1.3 billion people not be able to find a less disgusting one? (I won't say what it is in Chinese - some may wish to find out themselves).
