This Austrian furniture chain chose a 50 foot high red chair as their trademark, and their slogan was "Die mit dem roten Stuhl", which literally everyone in the German-speaking world instantly parsed as "The store with the red stool", where Stuhl ~ chair, stool has the same double meaning in German as in English. It didn't help that this was the actor they chose for the commercial
