So, it’s not “brother”.  Damn, I thought I had it.  Is it American specific?

if you put the wrong answer in, is that it and you don’t get another go? I am sure I know D and it won’t accept my answer.

LiteYear: B is definitely “American” (that’s a hint…) and it’s not brother. If you look really closely, the b is slightly different than brother’s b.

Mrs G: You can try as many times as you like. There’s no limit. D is probably not what you think. It might also be an American thing…here’s a hint…you use this in the kitchen. 

Well this is annoying. I manged to crack u x s and v but none of the others. X is a cheat for us brits as they have renamed the item over here and it dosen’t have an x in it!
Will i crack any of the others? I was sure d was dr pepper and r was knorr. and i agree with whoever thought b was brother!
Anyone in the uk know the others and if they are global or not?

I’m pretty sure that “r” is not global but rather an American centric. For that matter…i suspect E, I, Q, J, and N are also more likely found in the US. Well, N for sure is US only…and it’s not a retail brand. In fact, I would argue that N shouldn’t be in there at all.

You should also definitely be able to get C, G, H and N.  N is American but is well known worldwide.

I’ve also got B (thanks to groovy and looking at my Times Square photos!!) and T but they’re both pretty difficult if you don’t know them.

What do you mean by this? X still has an X in it.  You must be thinking of the new version of it that came out last year, surely? The one they pile high in Tesco and keep putting on special offers trying to get people interested.  The original is still the best.

This game is cool. I think the one of the easiest letter would be “S”. I see it everyday and look at it right now.

Sorry quite right, i got in a muddle with marathon/snicker, mad or what. Probaly something to do with giving up choc for lent?

Two months pass and the answers still aren’t up.  So, who wants to give some help to getting this cracked?  I’m half way there.  I’m looking for clues to getting a, d, e, f, i, j, k, m, o, p, q, y and z. 

P: u see their brown colored trucks almost everyday on the road (i.e. if ur in US).

Here’s clues for about half of them:

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

E: American(?) Jewelry store chain
J: American peanut butter brand
M: American beer brand
O: American(?) copy store chain
P: Delivery company
Q: American ice cream shop chain
Y: Chips… er.. crisps (for you) brand
Z: American consumer electronics maker

And is it just me or is D a popular soft drink or not?

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drachen.  I agree with your assessment of “D”.

i only need I and A…... ARGH!!

I - stationery, lighters and shavers
A - their motto is “People First”

good luck!

hehe thanks, i have ‘I’ now!!  but ‘A’ is still puzzling.. I dont recall hearing that motto.. *think*think*
