Hallo,

Mac> Puffs tissues had the unfortunate German slang name for whorehouse.

On the other hand, there's a german company which does make children bicycles, by the name of "Puky"

servus, Martin Appel Munich, Germany

(I can remember Rolls Royce once wanted to call one of their models "Silver Mist" but renamed it because "Mist" is german for "manure" But that's OT...)
