After browsing on Wikipedia learning more about stuff related to brands, I stumbled upon the Retail Alphabet Game, invented by a man by the name of Katzen. Out of the 26 letters, I was able to figure out a few. Let's see how well you fare.

What the fuck is wrong with you? I am American, but my knowledge of corporations is not limited to merely domestic brands.

Damn, I thought that A was Samsung, but I kept on getting it wrong. For D, I thought it was some sort of soft drink, but just couldn't get it right. And I knew that I had seen the E a lot in my life, but just couldn't remember it!
Did you get these answers yourself?!

Yes, I know, It was so annoying! I have the samsung logo on my desk twice (monitor and cell phone), and it looks EXACTLY the same. Ergh.
I don't think anyone mentioned that K is K-Mart

You don't necessarily have to pay for the game, just the answers. And actually, it's in the best interest of people to charge money for the USE of the game, as you would for any other kind of invention (i.e. royalty fees and such).
