    How about Monaco and Morocco?

    source
    • Sibbo@sopuli.xyz ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      MonaCo -> Mona is a female name, so maybe a perfume company? MoroCco -> (the second c is silent, like in the country name) Moro is short for tomorrow, so something something tech it is.

    That’s funny because several local companies use it to market themselves:

    Banxico

    Banamex

    Pemex

    “¡Eat a duck - y mas!” - tacky Japanese restaurant in Mexico.

      But Peking duck is known as part of Chinese cuisine, right?

      Ah hell, I’ll take it. Peking duck slices on sushi rice, or a peking duck rice bowl with char siu sauce or whatever. Maybe char siu-stuffed nigiri. Think of the possibilities!!

        I guess it could be a burrito joint in Dotonbori.

      Why is the name in half English and half Spanish?

      source

        Half English, half Spanish, all Japanese. Itadakimasu!

    Mex y Co.

  • Sibbo@sopuli.xyz ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    MexiCo -> Mexi sounds so meaningless, it could be anything that has been founded in the last ten years.

    Our mexi is newer, more innovative. Better for your pocket and the environment than the old mexi.
