A couple of examples of this which confront me in my daily life:
The McDuck (or "Mak-Dak") Cafe, next door to
our favorite banya. According to the sign,
they have billiards, live music, and karaoke.
Scrooge is turning over in his grave right now.
The "Nyam-Nyam" (sort of like "Yum-Yum") pastry stand
in the Pushkin Square underpass.
Isn't poor Pooh rotund enough without having to consume heavily buttered Russian pastries?
