<p>notambi – Actually, Samsung probably has a higher brand awareness than Hyundai (according to Interbrand, which rates strength/value of brand names, Samsung is the 3rd highest Asian brand, after Toyota and Honda, and ahead of Sony) – being the largest producer of televisions. It has large market shares in TVs, cameras, cellphones, appliances, etc. in the US, Europe, the Middle East, China/India and South America. (Interbrand’s rankings doesn’t mean that the brand is the most recognized, just that it has the most value.)</p>

<p>But hands down, the most recognizable brand name is Coke. Small cities and villages in Africa, India, China, South/Central America are not going to have any McDonald’s franchises – while they pretty much are all certain to have stores/vendors selling bottles of Coke (in the glass bottles).</p>

<p>Colgate is also a strong contender (much better known overseas than Crest – with a significant presence in South Asia, Africa and South America), but still behind Coke, as may be Marlboro.</p>

<p>Budweiser? There are many parts of the world which doesn’t imbibe beer (esp. American p*ss water), plus, Budweiser in Europe is known as a Czech beer brand and A-B is prohibited from marketing Bud outside of North America (i.e. – A-B Budweiser is marketed as “Bud” in France and elsewhere, and "Anheuser-Busch B in Germany).</p>

<p>Microsoft? Much of the world’s pop. still doesn’t have access to computers.</p>
