Line 4:
* Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits is extremely popular in Asia, Korea especially.
* Before we go anywhere else with this, we might as well say that a good alternate title for this article would be Everybody Loves Pizza. Seriously. Pizza these days is an incredibly international dish, and has spread to the proverbial four corners of the Earth. And it's been popular in pretty much every country that it arrived in; the United States was really just the start. It seems that the combination of cheese, bread, tomato sauce, and toppings is just appealing to human beings, even if none of these things are traditional in the country (observe Japan).
** This extends into "Everybody Loves Italian Cuisine", given that pasta (another big factor in Italian cooking) is very simple to prepare, and it frequently is the choice of decently-healthy eating for those who are short on time.
* Kit-Kats are so popular in Japan that they've spawned a variety of [[No Export for You|Japan-exclusive]] flavors because of the similarity to the Japanese phrase "kitto katsu", which translates to "surely win". Naturally, sales skyrocket during exams.
** [http://www.cracked.com/article_18895_7-things-from-america-that-are-insanely-popular-overseas.html 80+ flavors of Kit-Kats, high-class Pabst Blue Ribbon, and more] from ''[[Cracked.com]]'' {{spoiler|Naturally, #1 is the trope-namer}}.
* Instant coffee is more popular in Europe than in the United States, where it was developed. Incidentally, instant coffee was invented by a Japanese scientist working in [[The Windy City|Chicago]]; naturally, tea-crazy Japan won't touch the stuff, either. The one European area where instant coffee doesn't see the success it does elsewhere is the Southeast: [[Klatchian Coffee|Turkish coffee]] is the big deal there, and instant is seen as more of a "necessary evil" than anything else.
* Fosters is a brand of Australian lager that has declined in recent decades in its home country, but it is popular in the UK, and enjoyed a bump in American sales in the 1990s.
* Corona is a fairly minor beer brand in Mexico (or was for a very long time); it was the top-selling imported beer in the US and the UK until its name became associated with ''[[The Plague|something else]]''.
