All my life I ,and everyone around me , have called them Bull tak o's.
Imagine my surprise when I heard a Spaniard on the Dakar report saying Bull T co.

  Potato/patarto,  (Yamaha) in Australia, (Yar maha) in the US don't know about Japan.  I think we just look at the spelling sound it as its spelt.  There are others like tour which a lot of people pronounce tooer but then they don't pooer themselves a drink.

I remember getting a bit of culture shock hearing someone from the deep south of the US on a video about OSSAs and he pronounced it "OWE-SER" and I had only ever heard "OSS-SER" before
