Some points:

- Useless fact: Mr. Sheen's competitor, Pledge, found that their product didn't sell at all well in the Netherlands. On investigating, they found that "Pledge" is Dutch for "p*ss".


Another point:

Pledge? That isn't a Dutch word my friend :-). And it certainly doesn't mean 'piss'. The Dutch word for that is 'pis' :-D, or 'zeik'.

In fact 'pledge' doesn't mean _anything_ in Dutch. Good we got that sorted out now ;-).
