Not even that.
Even for punning purposes, sulphur != hydrogen sulphide.
You miss the deeper pun. Further, since when does a US company prefer a

Of course, that's part of the pun. But you have to be a history buff to get

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide <- H2S is the reason why
rotten eggs smell the way they do. The odor of H2S is often mistakenly
attributed to elemental sulfur.
