14/69 As an Australian I kept encountering brands that are actually better known for something else. Also, Doritos are branded as corn chips, and I have yet to see anything that calls itself a tortilla chip.

This +1

The packets in Australia don't have Tortilla anywhere on them and just say "corn chips". Nobody in Australia calls them anything but corn chips.

Old Spice is more shampoo than deodorant I'd say. And the whole potato chip/tortilla chip/corn chip? if typing "chip" is accepted for, it should be for all.

+1
Level 67
Jul 6, 2019
Because it is a quiz about products in american shops. We have Lays, Heinz. Kellog's, Lipton, Duracell, Pampers, Listerine, Snickers, Evian ( I think...), Chiquita (or atleast use to, now I see Dole),and Bayer I believe. And doritos.

And a few I wasnt sure about if I know them because we have them, or just heard of them like I know of other american stuff. Like old spice. sounds so familiar, but cant remember seeing it, so not sure where I know it from.

+1
Level 67
Jul 6, 2019
I could understand you not being aware of bayer, evian, listerine.

But cant imagine you seriously havent heard of snickers, kellog's cornflakes, for isntance (amd the duracell bunny, but that could be age. You used to see that thing nearly every commercial block. Then I think I didnt see it for over 10 years, and now you see me once and a whilte again)

+2
Level 69
Apr 5, 2015
Few things;

tomato sauce/ketchup for Heinz, and maybe baked beans too (or maybe just canned goods in general?)

biscuit for Ritz (people call them crackers?)

Bounty is also a type of chocolate bar which IMO is more famous than the paper towel

I have no idea what a tortilla chip is, so please accept corn chip for Doritos

accept perfume or something for Brut; no idea of the difference between cologne and anything else that's liquid and is applied to smell nice

accept softener for fabric softener, for Downey.

thanks

This is quiz should at least mention in the description that it's American-based. Bounty is a chocolate bar in the UK and Australia. Heinz is also very well known for baked beans and tomato soup. "Tomato sauce" is accepted for pasta sauce, but "tomato sauce" is synonymous with "ketchup" in Australia.

Never heard of Charles Shaw, but from the comments, I'm guessing that's a good thing! Wouldn't have even been able to guess wine, since wine isn't sold in supermarkets here...

I can never remember that for some people Bounty is paper towel. For me it'll forever be a coconut chocolate candy bar. It's all over Europe as this. http://kerrycooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Bounty-chocolateBar-coconut.jpg

Very badly executed quiz. Here are a few problems.

Ketchup is also called tomato sauce

Doritoes are also referred to as chips

Doritos doesn't really go here. I eventually got it... but I had to cheat and look at the comments. I tried "chip," which filled in Lays, and "corn chip," which filled in Fritos, and "snack chip," which filled in nothing. All three of those should work for Doritos. If you want a more typical "tortilla chip" maybe go with Tostitos.

Also I tried "bath gel," "shower gel," "shower wash," etc. for Lever 2000 before giving up, because those are the only products with that name on them I've ever owned. I guess technically it's still soap, but it was liquid and came in a bottle.

+2
Level 81
Aug 9, 2018
I thought Americans don't whinge. Doritos fits, it could be nothing else as they are flavored tortilla chips (although I agree that Tostitos would be a better representation). Lever is well known as bar soap.
+1
Level 82
Aug 9, 2018
Where would you get such an idea? Was it from your inability to comprehend my comment below, your inability to understand the differences in regional dialects, or your inability to read and separate whining from constructive criticism and/or a simple aside on how someone performed on a quiz? Also are you asserting that tortilla chips are not chips? Or that they are not made of corn?

I just imagined it. There wouldn't be any. People only whinge about quizzes that have questions pertaining to the United States. And Americans don't whinge at all. Occasionally they whine. But not about stuff like that.

Bayer makes a hell of a lot more than just aspirin. that's incredibly misleading.

Level 81
Aug 9, 2018
It is the product they are best known by, at least in the US.
+3
Level 76
Aug 9, 2018
Yes, but Bayer invented aspirin and holds "aspirin" as a trademark in many countries (they held it in the US, but it was eventually genericized). It is far and away the best known aspirin brand, and distinctly Bayer's most well-known individual product. In fact, while Bayer as a company owns many different brands (Aleve, Alka-Seltzer, Dr. Scholl's, Claritin), I can't think of any product they make OTHER than aspirin that they actually brand as "Bayer."

Well this was tough. Not many of these show up in Aussie supermarkets, and it's been a while since I was in the States. Otherwise I had to rely on guesswork or things I'd absorbed via all the US media I engage with. Managed slightly over half, which is honestly better than I might have expected.

Sorry, Peter Pan makes peanut butter??? I don't know about where you live, but where I live, the only Peter Pan product I've ever seen is flour. It's pretty much the only flour you can buy in Canada. It's so associated with flour, it used to be a phone prank. You'd call the grocery store and say, "Do you have Peter Pan in a bag?" When they said yes, you said, "Then you'd better let him out!"

Peanut butter is Kraft in Canada.
