I know it's been mentioned already, but I was thinking about the name of Honda's CR-V.

In California, CRV used to mean "California Redemption Value" and was printed on cans and bottles for recycle redemption. Now they just say, "Ca. Cash Refund". Hmm, recycled cans and bottles, a tinny Japanese vehicle called "CR-V...you get the connection! -TD
