    Haha I was studying katakana on the flight over. Katakana is typically used for English words, so you can understand a lot of text with only knowledge of a basic alphabet and not knowing any actual Japanese.

      Coca-Cola was the first katakana I learned.

      コカコーラ for the uninitiated. (Ko ka ko (dash means elongated vowel here) la.)
