the giraffe for toys r u was hard - i had no idea that they even had an animal associated with them. i had to quickly run to their website and even then there was only a random small picture of a giraffe halfway down the page.
Yea really had to think a little, thought, huh, animal? First saw the rainbow and then castle in my mind.
Then I saw micky mouse as a wizard. Having an image oriented brain (im sure there is an english term, picturethinking? But that sounds made up) really helps sometimes!
Cocoa Krispies (known as Choco Krispis, Choco Krispies, Coco Pops, or Choco Pops outside of the United States)
(...)
Cocoa Krispies first appeared in the United States in 1958, represented by a chimpanzee named Jose. He was quickly replaced by Coco the Elephant in 1959 when Mexican-Americans complained. In 1963, the Hanna-Barbera character Snagglepuss took over as the mascot. Ogg the Caveman took over in 1968. In 1971, Tusk the Elephant became the mascot of the cereal, and he remained until 1982. Snap, Crackle and Pop (the mascots of Rice Krispies) also became the mascots for Cocoa Krispies starting in 1982. In 1991, the mascot became Coco the Monkey. In 2001, Snap, Crackle, and Pop returned, and they remain the product's mascots.
He threw the English complainers on here a bone. I googled it and I couldn't have told you what that mascot is supposed to be. Looks like Fievel Goes West.
This really should be called American brands quiz. Cause I think only Sega disney and linux are known worldwide. (Maybeeee kellogs we do have that here, but dont know about the rest of the world.) I also knew lacoste but judging by the comments it isnt everywhere.
This is the first time I comment about a quiz being american centered. Usualy (even though it often is american centered) it soesnt matter too much, because it is about things when you occassionaly watch tv or go on internet you will have heard about. Even though the place item or word doesnt excist in your country. But with this you will need to have seen it. (I indeed have heard about some stuff, cause it is often mentioned (dont know where, thats the thing about learning by osmosis) like cocopuffs and toys r us. And actually know one you can eat and the other is a store :p)
And before someone answers, well it is an american website.. nowhere it states it is by americans for americans. The extension is not .us if so I would ve given you the point. But it is .com which is generally used when someone aims at a worldwide audience.
There's no such thing as .us... the Internet was invented in America. Thus, American commercial websites use .com. The same way that British postage stamps don't list the issuing country on them.
Polar bear in dutch is "ijsbeer" witch would translate to icebear. i kept typing "ice bear" and started wondering if klondike had a different mascot/logo in europe, compared to the US
Nice to see Tux the [redacted] as the cover image. Also the Cocoa Puffs mascot looks NOTHING like a cuckoo bird. I kept typing in other colorful birds just to see if they stick.
Then I saw micky mouse as a wizard. Having an image oriented brain (im sure there is an english term, picturethinking? But that sounds made up) really helps sometimes!

Half of these I'd never heard of.

Also, America is part of the world.
