Anyone nostalgic for a slice of Americana, MSN published a list of the Most Iconic US Brands:
- Louisville Slugger Baseball Bats
- Wonder Bread
- Harley-Davidson
- Benjamin Moore Paint
- The Frye Co Leather Boots
- Gibson Guitars
- Crayola Crayons
- Stetson Hats
- KitchenAid Mixer
- Lodge Cast Iron Skillets
- Ford Pick Up Trucks
- Woolrich Blankets
It would be interesting to see how foreigners would vote on the most iconic US brand. Something tells me we would see Coca-Cola and Campbell Soup on the list, too. As a European, I say that Wonder Bread would not make that list. I am sorry but Wonder Bread is simply not bread. Bread is not supposed to be stored in a fridge and last for weeks!
My vote goes, no question, to Harley Davidson. That is the single best American product, period. But that’s coming from a biker chick who likes real, fresh bread.
