Guess the map 11: New map at least once per year

Is it about ports/shipping? (doubt it)

I'd thought about that but those Central European states sort of ruin it.

Maybe about immigration? Or tourism?

some global brand that recently opened up in australia? a restaurant chain of some type?

That's getting close.

the colouring of the map makes me want to ask if it's got anything to do with gold lol

I would consider the color.

 

[Kyriakos]

KFC?

 

[Arakhor]

Perhaps McDonald's?

 

[shadowplay]

Countries with a Starbucks?

 

[Gen.Mannerheim]

Countries with Burger Kings?

 

[Gori the Grey]

Countries that have the color brown?

I'm not really fair to be honest. It's very unlikely to spring to mind, though it's very likely you've heard of it.

This post might help...

Countries which prefer creamy peanut butter to crunchy?

 

[Gen.Mannerheim]

Countries in which Vodka is the most consumed spirit?

 

[Kyriakos]

^No way.

We're getting much colder again.

Countries served by UPS

Yeah, I got distracted because I read an article recently that stated that Vodka was the most consumed Spirit in many countries because its the main ingredient in many bar/club drinks...

But I forgot that most of Eastern Europe wasn't colored in.

Well, the have raki/ouzo/similar there. But isn't wine a spirit? (maybe not; i never was much of a drinker and haven't drunk alcohol since my uni years...).
Not sure what is more popular here. Possibly some nu-drink hybrid (?). Supposedly ouzo is the traditional local heavy spirit.

Usually alcohol is classified as beer, wine, and spirits. I totally agree that the widespread consumption of Vodka in other "Western" regions was surprising. Here in the States, most people (including myself) I know prefer Whiskey or Bourbon. But I asked my older sister, who's a bartender, and she agreed that every bar she's worked at burns through Vodka at a lightning pace compared to other spirits. Its almost ridiculous how many cocktails use Vodka as a main or supporting ingredient.

Countries that sell wowbutter?

Why did you guys decide to forget my previous tips? You were doing so well.

Again:

some global brand that recently opened up in australia? a restaurant chain of some type?

Getting close.

Consider the color used in the map.

Not a name that springs to mind, but you've heard of it. Also, place of origin is not what you'd associate with the name.

Countries which prefer creamy peanut butter to crunchy?

Contains a hint.

And it isn't Kentucky fried chicken? :/
