Elsewhere it was translated with more precision: "Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Grave." In 1965, prior to a reception for Queen Elizabeth II outside Bonn, Germany's President Heinrich Ltibke, attempting an English translation of "Gleich geht es los" (It will soon begin), told the Queen: "Equal goes it loose."
