Yes.

Not always with Hello though. English slang works its way into other cultures through TV, but also through products names like LifeSavers or even MySpace which aren’t always translated. Also, a lot of technical products like computer parts or software, or even medical products are designed in English speaking countries, but used elsewhere and might keep their English names.

One of the funniest things I saw walking around Toyko was a shirt on this girl that said, in English, "Love is Hope. Cranberry."

Makes you realize just how many shirts with Chinese and Japanese characters on them sold in our stores here are total nonsense too.
