Doesn't mean that Hungry Jack's shouldn't be accepted. That's the same as saying one should never accept Lexus in an automotive quiz, because it's owned by Toyota. In this part of the world that logo is the logo of HJ, not BK. I ask that Hungry Jack's be accepted, too.
I tried about a million spellings of Izze for the six-pointed yellow one. And not only were none of them the correct answer, but none of them were even the correct spelling of Izze (Izee, Ize, Izi, Izy, Isee, Ise, Isi, Isy).
But despite that, great quiz! Keep making more. I have only one suggestion, which will be in my next comment.
Even though the one with the birds is sometimes part of the nestle logo, it does not appear on most of their products.To make it more clear, add the red shape on the logo that's below the birds to the picture. Of course, don't put the words in it.
WalMart is one of the largest companies in the world. Its international business alone (which is a tiny share of its total business) is worth 10x what Skoda's entire revenue stream is. What culture do you erroneously believe it's specific to?
Agreed, to an extent. I got AT&T but had no clue on Walmart. Nor did I know the Beats by Dre. I don't even know what product they make or sell. Though, I suspect that's more my own lack of interest in modern music and its associated industries.
I do think Walmart could be replaced by a more globally recognised brand though.
As usual when someone here says "global" what they really mean is "in the UK" or possibly Germany or Australia, as if their tiny corner of the planet comprises the entire rest of the world outside of the USA. Wal-Mart operates over 11,000 stores in 27 different countries. It is the #1 largest private employer in the entire world, with more than 2.2 million employees. They have stores in the UK, too, though in that territory they go by the name Asda.
The story of how Wal-Mart failed in Germany is quite enjoyable. Poor devils thought they could just smile at Germans without repercussions.
But yes, Wal-Mart has without questions enough standing for a global quiz, I don't even know which other store brand would be more famous the world around.
However, I only missed North Face who I've never heard of but assume are skinning Swedes for profit. Pretty good, there always have to be on or to obscure ones.
I wouldn't be so happy if Walmart failed in my area. Many years ago I had a flat tire and discovered my spare was also flat. I went to a nearby service station and it was still thirty minutes before it closed, but the man said it was too close to closing time to start fixing a tire, even though I was stranded and had young children with me. I had to sit in the car 45 minutes while I waited for my brother to come and rescue us. He drove us to Walmart where they were happy to fix my tire. Walmart does things I don't like, but they employ a lot of people in our town, and they offer 24-hour services that local businesses can't or won't. Also, their prices are affordable. I don't get why people always badmouth them.
Probably because they are exploiting their employees, prohibit unions and are using predatory pricing. And in Europe there are a lot of services that are specialized on situations like the one you described. You would probably just call a mobile mechanic.
Perhaps these quizzes could be improved somewhat by researching what the companies that do business internationally are called in various territories. Wal-Mart, as I pointed out above, actually does do business in the UK. But their stores in the UK are called Asda. Asda could be added as a type-in. On another quiz I think it was pointed out that Mr. Clean is sold in Latin America but is called Senor Limpio there. That could be added as a type-in. I know this would probably take a lot of work, and probably wouldn't stop Algernon from complaining, but it would be a cool update.
In Saudi Arabia I remember noticing that "Tamimi Market" had the same "S" logo as Safeway supermarkets back home- which I thought was odd as there is no "S" anywhere in "Tamimi Market." I at first thought it was maybe coincidence, or maybe another case of trademark infringement which is common overseas. Then I found out that it was the same company, they just adopted a different name in the Saudi Arabian market.
I had the same happen with hungry jacks in Australia when lived there. At first I thought the logo just looked like burger king until I actually ate there one time and noticed that they sold whoppers.
This is a little disingenuous, Walmart doesn't have stores in the UK, they own the chain ASDA. Brits wouldn't look at that Walmart logo and think of ASDA. The recognisable ASDA logo is simply the name written in green caps.
Great quiz good variety. Only ones I didnt get were ones I had never seen cause we dont have it here, so no exposure to it. At&T and wallmart (though I have heard of them both). But so much better than most logo quizes where 1/2 up to 2/3 are not known outside america. Good job!
Forgot checkmark, props to the maker :) Though you could also (allways) argue that knowing all was too easy :) I think they are all extremely famous. Maybe not beats (only the last few years)
I got most of them... kinda... not really. I got 12/20 and I missed out 'the north face, walmart, playboy, AT&T, Gucci, spotify, beats by Dre and Nestle.
Fun fact about Puma, the company was founded by Rudolf Dassler and the headquarters are just down the road from the headquarters of Adidas, founded by his brother Adolf. Before they split, they worked together as Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik and they gave Jesse Owens shoes for the 1936 Olympics, the first ever sponsorship deal for an African American athlete.
