Line 9:
* Clamato (a mixture of tomato and clam juice) is very popular in Canada and Mexico as a drink mixer for either beer or vodka. In the United States, its country of origin, not so much (although it's made inroads among immigrant communities to the point where Anheuser-Busch offers a Budweiser/Clamato premixed beverage).
** Actually, while Clamato is mixed primarily with beer in the States and Mexico, its popularity in Canada is for our own national cocktail, the Bloody Caesar, virtually unknown and largely reviled elsewhere. (Most people seem to have a problem with clams in their vodka. Weirdos.)
* Skittles candy was invented by a British company in the 1970s, and wasn't all-too popular until they started to sell it in the States.
* The top-selling lager in the UK is Stella Artois, a Belgian beer. The Belgians themselves regard it as one of their worst beers (which it is, considering how ''good'' Belgian beer is).
* Scotch whisky is very big business in India and Japan, to the point where local distilleries in both countries attempt to market their own malt whiskies, often with Scottish imagery such as tartan on the label.
