What does a Mexican drinking a Corona, watching Al Jazeera on his Sony TV all have in common?

Apple has been labeled most influential brand by a survey of 2,000 people.

What I find interesting is the list of influential brands from other parts of the world. Asia, for instance has Sony, Samsung, LG, and Toyota as some of the popular brands with consumers. Central and Latin America on the other hand, has Cemex, Corona, Barcardi, Bimbo, and Vina Concha y Toro on their list.

Isn't it amazing that three out of the five items are alcohol? (The other two are cement and bread.) What does that say about us as latinos? That we spend our days drinking (and mixing cement)?


That's right papi! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
