Translation Humor - Clothing

Sayings on clothes are often mis-translated in any country. I remember when I was young getting a shirt that had Asian characters all over it. One day someone in my class actually translated it -- quite embarassing for a 12-year girl to be walking around in a shirt that said "I am blooming".
In China we have been seeing some clothing with very amusing saying that could give more than one meaning. Since I love chocolate, I enjoyed the one I saw yesterday - I think it was meant to be "Hershey's". Had to buy the T-shirt even though I will NEVER wear it out of my apartment. Thought others may find it amusing as well ....
