please put down the names of any famous companys or brands you know from:

1. Russia
2. China
3. South Africa
4. South America
6. Australia

Aussies don't drink fosters! (why do you think we export the stuff? )

Asia: The Korean syndicates (Daywoo, etc)

Well, you won't find any Fosters in the stores in Holland, however, you will find them in a lot of other countries. I think kobayashi wants to have a product that is popular in export.

 

[kobayashi]

Is Fosters the company name or is it black swan or something?

p.s. Any company that existed right after the cold war will do (even if it has been swallowed up since)

Fosters is probably the best recognised Aussie company overseas,* and is actually a rather large conqlomerate of companies, so it's not that bad a choice. The only time I've ever drunk fosters products is at the cricket where they don't serve any other brands of beer.


*When I was in the US a couple of years ago I was amazed by the number of bars which advertise the stuff in thier windows.
