#1 Proctor & Gamble, the manufacturers of the Namnam diaper in Egypt, were "largely relieved" to hear of his demise.

#2 A wonderful joke, Johnnie, but Procter & Gamble's diaper brand in Egypt is Pampers. They generally reuse product names across the world, which is why in Japan their laundry detergent brand is called Ariel -- not one of the smartest moves by one of Harvard Business School's favourite companies for case studies.

I s'pose it's possible, though, that the local term for nappies is namnam, or perhaps its a local brand?
