2. The most common WHITE RUSSIAN is...
More than 72% of Russia's population identifies as "Ethnic Russian". There is no evidence that there are more than 100 million cocktails of any type in the world, especially ones with a limited shelf-life because they are made of milk milk.

4. The most common FRENCH TOAST is...
Allegedly, Hong Kong consumed a LOT of French toast in 2019 at 320 million servings. France, however, eats a lot of bread, possibly as high as 10 billion loaves of baguette and sliced. Surely more toast exists in France on average than French toast in the world.
Crispy bread eaten by French people
A popular breakfast item in Hong Kong
5. The most common CANADIAN BACON is...
"Canadian bacon" is a specific type of bacon that is not nearly as popular as typical bacon. Canada is the tenth biggest pork producer and manufactures significantly more typical bacon than Canadian bacon. There is only one mediocre film from 1995 called "Canadian Bacon".
Made from Canadian pigs
A special type of bacon that is mostly used on pizzas
A very mediocre movie from 1995
6. The most common GERMAN SHEPHERDS are...

A tasty pastry
9. The most common NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS are...
An NFL team can only roster 53 players. Even if all Patriot players to ever play were considered, New England's population of 15 million would surely have more people who love their country.
People who live in Northeast America and love America
American football players
10. The most common HAMBURGERS are...
Surprisingly, the math works out in the food's favour. Americans alone eat 50 billion burgers per year, which equals 2.8 million per half hour. Hamburg's population is only 2.7 million. Assuming Americans take about half an hour to consume a burger once it's a burger, burgers win out with ONLY the American population. Yikes.
German citizens
Mostly unhealthy and stereotypically American sandwiches
11. The most common TROJAN HORSE is...
Troy does not exist anymore, and the famous Trojan Horse is surely no more. There are many Trojan Horse viruses out there, though, so be careful.
A majestic beast from Troy
Malware
12. The most common CHICAGO TYPEWRITERS are...
There are probably only a few hundred typewriters left in Chicago. Tommy Guns, however, had millions produced and are collected by enthusiasts. It is therefore very likely that there are many more Chicago Typewriters than Chicago typewriters. I don't have numbers on this, so prove me wrong if you doubt my logic.
Typewriters located in Chicago
Machine guns also known as Tommy Guns
13. The most common FUJI APPLES are...
In 2016 and 2017, China grew about 30 million tonnes of Fuji apples. Aomori only grew 500,000 tonnes.
Enjoyed by people of the Aomori Prefecture
Sold in stores throughout China
14. The most common SWISS MISS is...
Swiss miss is a singular noun, so it refers to one Swiss maiden. The number of cups of made hot chocolate is greater than one.
One of Switzerland's female population
A nice, steaming, cup of hot chocolate popular in the USA
15. The most common FRENCH HORNS are...
There are certainly more horns in France than French horns in the world; there are 35 million cars in France, almost all of which have a horn.
Sound-making devices of many types in France
A brass instrument

Great stuff, raised a smile :) I misunderstood the Swiss Miss question as meaning just one Swiss female. Not sure if it’s me being stupid or the phrasing of the option.

I like that logic more than the original logic I used. Changed the answer! Thanks for the feedback.
