What are some products that are called something different in other countries?

Not a translation... for example if it is called cat food in the U.S. ... "comida del gato" would not be an example.

I'm looking for something like... U.S.'s McDonalds calls it a Big Mac, but a different country calls it (after being translated) to Big Burger.

THANKSSSSSS!

an apartment in the U.S. is called a flat in England
bars are called pubs in England
I believe a siren is called a maroon or something like that
police/bobbies
gotta be dozens but I can't think straight right now....I'd focus on England/Ireland and Australia.
Lots and lots of different words and expressions.
