Some of those I have never heard of, let alone recognise the logo. Just a suggestion, and I never thought I’d be the americocentric complainer, but can these quizzes please only include global brands?
Agreed. As a non-American on here you expect a degree of Americanisation. But some of those companies, Costco, Verizon, Jif, Chevron, and Hershey, just have zero presence outside America.
Hershey is probably guessable from mentions in film and TV, but the others are very tough.
You always make this complaint and you are always wrong. You really need to get out more. I've shopped at a CostCo in Korea. I've purchased Hershey chocolates and Jif peanut butter in several if not dozens of different countries. I used to work for a British company in Saudi Arabia that was affiliated with Chevron and shopped at many of their Caltex locations in the Philippines. Stop blaming your ignorance on the quiz.
Having traveled around the world and been to so many countries where it is virtually impossible to find high quality real chocolate, I've come to very much appreciate Hershey's high standards, though it's far from my favorite brand of chocolate.
Costco in France... yes 1 at "Villebon-sur-Yvette". I don't even know what that city is. It's like 38km from Paris and I don't even live there but in the south of France
Lululemon is Canadian. Swarovski is Austrian. I've never seen these logos in the United States, but they do do business there. Heineken is Dutch. Samsung is Korean. Chiquita is Swiss. I've seen those in the US before. Every single one of the brands here are global brands.
True, but global brand doesn't mean they are active in every country of course, so it is perfectly fine not to know all brands. Some may also be "just another brand" in a lot of countries. Regardless, I feel complaining about it makes little sense, it is much easier to learn from a quiz like this. I've learned a lot from JetPunk. Also, not all quizzes have to cater to everybody, if it is not your cup of tea, skip it, or try and laugh about how little you know about a certain subject.
Most people who use JetPunk are from the US. And the quizmaker can put whatever brands they like. And I'm sure if they did put more international brands the Americans would complain that they didn't know any of them either.
probably because the packaging varies from place to place. The only cheerios boxes I have seen in shops are white, so a yellow box with a c in it doesn't help a lot.
The C on a yellow background didn't trigger it for me. If I had looked closer and seen the actual cheerio in the picture I almost certainly would have gotten it, but without that it's not very recognizable even if you see boxes of it in the grocery store all the time.
Pretty sneaky when there's an ad for the Iconic Grand Wailea Maui following the last clue and I'm thinking well that's a really detailed and complex logo.
I also would rather global brands.. Belive it or not, only a very small population %% knows about cheerios. (although I reckon the same counts for global brands like swaroskk)
I have personally seen Cheerios being sold on supermarket store shelves in probably 30 different countries, and according to General Mill's website they do business in 130 countries with Cheerios being their staple product. It's the most popular brand of cereal in the world bar none. The only brand I may have seen sold outside of the USA more often is maybe Special K. But Cheerios would be a close 2nd if it wasn't 1st.
I've never seen Swarovski, an Austrian company, being sold anywhere. Or at least I've not noticed it. Its Wikipedia page says they operate in 170 countries. Believe it or not, your not knowing an answer doesn't automatically render the question unfair.
Got them all as I'm an american expat. However, how about a quiz containing no american logos? I assume a lot of people would never in their lifetime guess costco, cheerios or quaker oats...
Why would non-American logos be easier to guess than American ones? It's not as if every brand headquartered in the UK is universally recognized the world over. These quizzes are fine as is. Not that there would necessarily be anything wrong with another that had more non-American brands. That would be fine, too. Just like this quiz is fine.
