Back in the 80's, when all of the "Coca Cola" gear was popular, a friend of mine crossed into Mexico, and bought a bunch of stuff. It wasn't until after he came back to the US, when I noticed that it actually said *Caca Cola*. And here he is, wearing the t-shirt, the watch, and sun glasses. He never heard the end of that one.
And don't even get me started on the "Sieko" watches they had for sale.

I love my Garmin Forerunner 305. Good quality GPS, heart rate monitor, and more. The GarminConnect site makes it really easy to look at your data, will plot your route using Google Maps, and even play it back for you to watch. And you can share your data with your friends.
A quick google search finds someone who is publicly sharing their data. Check out the data on the Google Map, and also be sure to click on the "Player" link.

In the Penn & Teller special (I know it's on YouTube somewhere) the "Water Steward" in the restaurant told one couple that it was an import brand, called "Agua de Culo". They happily drank it. Now *that's* marketing.
