I don't disagree. People still use it? Dang. But "Explorer" should be accepted as a type-in -- I'm old enough to remember that that's what we called it way back when it was going head to head with Netscape.
Got everything but Louis Vuitton. I had to google it before I recognized it. You don't see a lot of $1000 handbags in my neck of the woods, - John Deere and Levi much more common here. I'm quite happy with the nameless leather bag I found marked down to $2 in a cart at Wal-Mart. I've carried it for three years and it still looks great. I bought another one at the same time, and when the first one wears out I hope to get the same amount of wear out of the second one. I'm just a low-maintenance country girl.
I remember growing up in that area. Then the "ladies" thought the top of the line, the one everybody turned green for was a Coach or Etienne Aigner bag. Big fish small pond. My grandmother always said, "An ounce of pretension was worth a pound of manure". Wise old lady...
I don't even understand how the LV bags got to this level of prestige; that mud brown pattern is completely unattractive. At least the Hermès Birkin bags are really beautiful, even though they're the most overpriced bags EVER.
Oh, and if you want to see the stupidest, most sheeple example of mindless, classist consumerism, Google the Urban Satchel Louis Vuitton Bag, in which some pretentious art school graduate glued a bunch of trash to a bag, and slapped a $150,000 price tag on it.
Ew. I googled it. Even worse is celebrities getting paid $150K USD to endorse it, and fighting over purchasing one. If you have a weak stomach, don't click here.
Does anyone else get annoyed when answers are dumbed down, so that it fills in a correct answer for 'John Deere' before I'm done typing, and now I have a stray letter 'e' in my next answer.
I hate it too, expecally if it is something completely different. In this case I get it though, it sounds the same and if you dont own one ( or read a magazine about them) you wouldnt know hot to exactly write it. but when people ask for like compiter to be accepted for computer, or eiff for eiffeltower... yea that can be annoying.
(My main division line is, will it sounds as good as exactly the same the way you write it. like double l's and s's you often dont hear)
edge doesn't have the ring going above the e. the explorer ring is however normally yellow where I have seen it. hopefully explorer dies in a corner soon and it can be replaced here too.
I tried nescafe, but was confused that it didn't work, so I tried nescafé with the acute accent, didn't work. Quickly realised it was nintendo, felt stupid after that for a few seconds
same tried postbank orange (cause I thought it was called that for a little while) and some combinations. ow and sns, but that was cause I thought I might have mixed them up..
never heard of arm and hammer, american airlines or gerber. And missed bestbuy, though I think I might have heard the name being dropped somewhere.
I got john deere though :) Pretty good from a girl that is not from the country or THAT country, though I think they might be in more countries, I expect they will be most prevalent in the USA.
Im not sure when I knew about it first, was rather young I think and not sure wether it was the name or the logo that allways stuck with me :) (both somewhat interesting for a kid)
maybe it is such a generic name that perhaps I have seen it mentioned before, but it never stuck? but I cant say I have seen it on airports here ( though they might be there). Lufthansa for example is a name that sticks. And you know it is a name and not just a description.
I will have to look up up if they indeed fly to my country... im curious.
American Airlines is the largest airline in the world and if you look at their route map on their website you can see they fly to damn near every country in Europe.
your quiz taking experience... really ? Is your experience of taking a quiz so influenced by getting a perfect score or not?
taking a quiz is allways fun (unless ridiculous typ-ins are accepted and you spend most of your time backspacing... that can influence your quizzing experience)> For me it is as much fun when I get 50% correct or 90%
QM, are there not more globally recognised names than Gerber and Best Buy? As a Brit I have never even heard of the first one and the latter only vaguely through the business news. I appreciate this is an American site and the bulk of the takers are from North America, but surely there are enough globally recognised brands that we don't need ones that those of us from the rest of the world are all but excluded from knowing?
It would be nice. But 2 out of 20 isnt an unreasonable amount imo. I have no problem with that, it is not like more than half is only american like on some quizzes. This is just fine.
btw does anyone else thought there was a smudge on their screen with the gerber logo?? I was sooo tempted to try and wipe my screen, even when after scrolling i reallised the speck was in/on the logo itself... when you see it you cant unsee it !!!
Best Buy has or had stores in the United States, Mexico, Canada, China, and Europe. Gerber is sold around the world, and is a subsidiary of Nestle, a Swiss company. Your town in England is not the entire world, and whether or not you recognize something is not the measure of whether or not something is "international."
missed fruit in the loom, i feel bad because I know that I just can't remember then I also missed Tesla, I feel bad too because I know the brand not the logo
same here, never heared of the 3 i missed (gerber, best buy and a&h). at least i thought. turns out there's a box of arm & hammer baking soda in the cupboard. for cleaning purposes.
I always connect baking soda to that brand because I sometimes use American recipes (I'm European) and I have to research the difference between baking soda, baking powder and natron every damn time. That brand always comes up. I've never seen baking soda here (just once in the import section for a high price). I think natron comes close but I'm never 100% sure.
I never expected to do well in this as I am logo-blind, but I did even worse than bad because I have never heard of many of the companies, presumably because they are US.
I've never been to Australia and could still recognize the logo for Qantas. And before some dork pipes in to remark that Qantas is more "international" or some such nonsense... no... it's not.
Best buy - only as long as you are American.

The all look the same
