Hard to say Brand Names
http://www.businessinsider.com/hard-to-pronounce-brands-2012-5
So how many did you actually pronounce accurately? With this, you can correct your fellow friend when they're pronouncing it wrong! (There is a flash with sound each page after the brand so you can hear the proper pronunciation.)

I don't even know many of these brands let alone pronounce them.
I think if I start saying it properly, people are going to laugh at me for saying it wrong haha.
I knew how to say a few of them.
that was very interesting there were a few that i knew some were surprising
I got my toes in the water @$$ in the sand not a worry in the world and a cold beer in my hand

Something makes me think not everything there is correct. Out of that, you can't really know how to pronounce something if you don't know the country which is coming from, for example French companies will most likely have their pronunciation instead of an English one.
Through all the differences it is still perfection.

I was sure they asked the companies themselves on how to pronounce the names.
I couldnt really pronounce any of them. I think I got the Zag something restraunt and that was it. LOL
