19 Products You Won't Recognize In a Foreign Country

Before introducing a new product to a particular region, marketing specialists conduct research and thoroughly study consumer expectations. Manufacturing companies try to adapt packaging designs and product names to meet national peculiarities of the market. So if you think you know exactly how your favorite candy bar looks, try to recognize it in some other country.

For example, imagine you arrive in Quebec and decide to go satisfy your hunger in KFC. Only... It's not KFC you're going to - it's PFK! Or did you know you won't be able to visit Burger King in Australia? Yup, the Australian branch is called Hungry Jack. Interested? Here's a fun list of products that look and sometimes sound a bit different depending on the country they’re sold in.

SUMMARY:
- People from Europe tend to get confused when striving to spot Coca-Cola Light in American or British supermarkets. What they might not know is that in these countries, low-calorie Coca-Cola is called Diet Coke!
- When people from Europe, Japan, and Russia wash their clothes, they often use a popular fabric softener called Lenor. But no matter how hard you try to find this product in the US, all you'll see on the shelves will be blue bottles labeled Downy.
- Another product of Procter&Gamble, Tide laundry detergent has not one, but three names! In Central Europe, this product is known by the name "Vizir," and in Turkey, you'll buy "Alo."
- Vaseline, a popular remedy for dry skin, sounds different in Spanish and Portuguese. That's why if you need this product, let's say, in Brazil or Mexico, make sure you ask for Vasenol.
- Dove is a popular chocolate brand you can find nearly everywhere in the world. But if you come to Egypt, India, or the UK, look for chocolates named "Galaxy."
- People from Europe are used to the chocolate-covered bar, Milky Way, which is wrapped in blue packaging with little white stars. But if you want to munch on the same bar in the US, search for the one called 3 Musketeers.
- Few people know that modern-day Lay's first appeared in the UK under the name of Walkers more than 70 years ago! And guess what? In Great Britain, they still crunch Walkers!-
- The Rexona brand, which produces world-known deodorants and antiperspirants is called Degree, in South Africa - Shield, in the UK and Ireland - Sure, and in Japan and South Korea - Rexena.
- Ever heard of low-fat margarine called "Becel"? Nope? And how about the one called "Promise"?
- A renowned American retailer, T.J. Maxx, miraculously turns into T.K. Maxx once you go to Europe.
- In China, you won't find a bottle of Sprite, even if you try really hard! But pay attention to the drink called "Xuebi" - it's the same soda so many people are crazy about.

I hate how they assume that everybody watching is from the usa

[aneeshajay]

Bright Side, I watched this video over 10 times now and I loved it! I wanna watch more! Make more of this! Maybe the revamp?

[firefynix]

In Vietnam, people used to say "Poca" instead of "Lays" but the company removed it and used the original name for it now

[AyselAliChannel]

Sounds like "PJ Masks" over here at 10:38

[aneeshajay]

Ok, for your information, Knorr in Argentina is sometimes called by Knorr-Suiza.

[sally]

the 'K' in 'Knorr' is NOT silent !!! it's a german brand and we pronounce the K at the beginning !!!

I nearly fell off my chair laughing when he tried to pronounce Danone.
Furthermore you showed a map of Spain when you talked about Bristol in the UK.

[anouarchamu]

Number eleven: dove
Me (a dutch person): you mean the shampoo?

[andrewgill]

These videos are so frustrating if you don’t live in the us, so many of the “facts” are not true and he has no idea how to pronounce brands or places that are not american

[eveenz]

This was a really interesting video. I was thinking about the Dove soap just b4 you said "don't get the chocolate mixed up with the soap". Thanks brightside.

[TechyMantis]

Sega Mega drive worldwide but called Genesis in USA for some reason

[markjaysontan]

Here in the Philippines, we exclusively have Royal Tru-Orange which is Fanta in other countries. 🍊

[mackstertube]

I think you might be totally wrong on the Milky Way / Mars Bar one.
His do explain the fact that in Australia we have both Milky Way & Mars bar.
They're totally different chocolate bars.

[jfjfjrjfif]

That dove chocolate looks like something you buy at lidl or aldi lol

[schagerbaantje]

On Lay's also a fun one:

The color the bag of a flavor has also differs for the country it can be found. In The Netherlands, paprika is in a blue bag and Salted Red, in Slovenia how ever I found salted in a yellow bag and In Germany I found paprika in a red bag and Salted In blue!

[anonymousperson]

As soon as he says Burger King, I know EXACTLY where this is going.
