Peavey, as in the famous guitar amps/combos.

[Grey Fox]

Thanks.

Never heard of that.

[mongers]

Thanks.

Never heard of that.

Probably second only to Marshall in fame; though in the US I'd assume, it's more well know than the British manufacturer.

What's Rhode Island and Delaware?

[mongers]

What's Rhode Island and Delaware?

I'm assuming the article has a list of them?


What would be interesting it to see how many non-Americans know; I don't buy much stuff and aren't into modern consumer culture, but I guess I recognise at least half of them.

I know 26 of them, some others look familiar but I'm not really sure what they do.
A European map like this one would be interesting, I wonder what it would look like. Lots of car and beer companies, I'd imagine.

Hawaii is Hawaiian Airlines.

[Admiral Yi]

Surely Hawaii should be that brand of macadamia nuts everyone buys at the airport gift shop.

[Caliga]

Lexmark  

I very much doubt that.  Should be Jim Beam.
