The challenge in Brandstand last week was to spot brands that had different names in different regions. Last week’s examples were Axe (Lynx in some other countries) and Burger King (Hungry Jack’s in Australia).
Here are more: What we know as the Lay’s brand of snacks in India is known as Walkers in the UK, Sabritas in Mexico, Tapuchips in Israel, Poca in Vietnam, and Chipsy in Egypt.
Danone is called Dannon in the US, Olay is called Oil of Olaz in Germany and Italy, as just Olaz in the Netherlands and Belgium. Diet Coke is also known as Coke Light, and Anacin is called Anadin in the UK.
