Not really. American fastfood chains are popular in the Philippines. But Japanese cars are more popular here. Cheap Chinese products are everywhere, from electronics to school supplies to clothing. Nokia, which is basically a Finland product, is still the most popular brand of celphone here, although Motorola (which is American I guess?) is also popular. Oh, Avon products are everywhere here, the same with Victoria's Secret. And Levi's jeans are still the preferred jeans.

as you know,american is the powerful mighty country in the world.we are all impacted by american,no matter culture,stock market,tv series,advanced technology or life.such as nike,M&M,Mcdonalds,Ford,mircsoft etc(including there're a lot we don't know,we can't import.)
as the culture,i like democracy and liberty that you all talking about,"In God We Trust ".most of american movies are presented.i like the part of competition,"only survival of the fittest ".
maybe you are worried about other countries' product will replace americans.as far as i know,currently,nothing else can stop american.Hegemonism (no offense)will.


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (1895)   ranked 395 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

no im wondering if our products are shipped to every one else as much as we have brought in.. i would like to think that other countries dont view our things as cheap or crap etc


myLot reputation of 89/100. xialinye (714)   ranked 2,254 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

to me,i don't think they are crap.

well over here at Malaysia, its almost the same as the Phillipines:)
I drive a Toyota, Sony Bravia TVs, Panasonic electrical appliances, Ikea furnitures and a dell laptop:)
Coz maybe in south east asia, the major brands around are the Japanese brands.
But I love Tony Romas and would love to have a Ford Mustang if it's available here:)


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (1895)   ranked 395 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

lol yeah ford mustangs are nice happy


myLot reputation of 82/100. coolseeds (2204)   ranked 1,899 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

You say "well over here at Malaysia, its almost the same as the Phillipines:)
I drive a Toyota, Sony Bravia TVs, Panasonic electrical appliances, Ikea furnitures and a dell laptop:) "

That sounds like a lot of Americans.


ferglryan (16)   ranked 5,569 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

hmm i think Dell is American, ya the hotselling laptops here are Dell, Hp and Toshiba. But I like Hp:D

How much is a recon Ford Mustang? Issit cheaper or more expensive than the Nissan Fairlady/350Z?


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (1895)   ranked 395 out of 25,718 in life  2 weeks ago

Hello,>>>>>>>>>> I am an Indian,living in a city for the last seventy years and I dont find a market of American products.rather the market has been captured by the Japanese and Chinese products.in this market you will get all sorts of electrical and electronic goods at cheaper prices.almost all my electronic goods are of japan or China products.infact the computer which i am currently working is a China product.thanx.


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (1895)   ranked 395 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

It might be have been popular if we had sellers...as of now...there are more shops only for Japanese and Chinese products which has a good market in India...USA products are got mostly from the friends and family members living out there in US, not otherwise i hope...and how is it in U.S, do you get to buy the products from India there?


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (1895)   ranked 395 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

there are some products i have seen that come from india but not as much nowadays.. but then again im not exactly looking to see every time i buy something either so it may be more than i know

Is Converse, the company that makes shoes, American? Converse All Stars are incredibly popular with teenagers over here (Australia). I know mine would all like a pair. Air Jordans are also really popular but terribly expensive.


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (1895)   ranked 395 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

im not sure about converse.. i went to their website but had no clue on where to look to find out lol.. i think air jordans are one of the american companies that make everything every where else so i dunno how to tally up that lol

No, not in the UK. There are a few US products of course but not many. I have a garden Rotavator from Connecticut and a pile of Heat Bars that a friend send from Missouri (so that doesn't really count). Chevrolet sells cars here as does Cadillac. One of our major car companies, Vauxhall, is owned by General Motors but the cars are manufactured here or elsewhere in Europe. Some foodstuffs, but most are US brands manufactured in Europe. US branded fast food restaurants abound: McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut etc. You can buy Fruit if the Loom here too. But all that stuff is manufactured elsewhere too. So all in all there is not too much here. Oh, some Hershey bars can be purchased here too. I bet that you don't get too much British stuff either!


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (1895)   ranked 395 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

sounds like so far you have the most american things lol.. i think the uk influences a lot of things/trends/items in the us but i dont think they want to give you guys the credit lol

Yup, we have a lot of American products,brands and companies here. I've friends working in Microsoft, 3M, Dell,Exxon-Mobil,Wyeth and other American companies here.
We have MacDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Fisher Price, American Express, even Tony Romas (though I must say I miss the real Tony Romas in US - the quality here is sadly below par)
Our perception of American products is premium quality, which also means premium price! happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (1895)   ranked 395 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

hmm interesting!! lol whats sad is this is either the 2nd or 3rd on here so far talking about tony romas and i had to look it up because i had no clue


myLot reputation of 59/100. darkjedi (1344)   ranked 4,972 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

Hmmm never heard of Tony Romas whats that?


myLot reputation of 82/100. coolseeds (2204)   ranked 1,899 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

3 Americans don't know what Tony Romas is. w00t So are you going to tell us?


myLot reputation of 100/100. lazeebee (972)   ranked 3,106 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

Hi, I'm sorry - didn't know that you were asking me about this.

Tony Roma's is an American family restaurant chain, world famous for its ribs. The award winning Baby Back Ribs are the house specialty. I first tried Tony Roma's when I was in LA around 1999 or 2000. The ribs were really good. I don't know how many other outlets they have or the locations. Maybe you can check them out from the net.



myLot reputation of 82/100. coolseeds (2204)   ranked 1,899 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

They are located in 19 states. 1 of them is Hawaii. That is probably why we have not heard of it.

Hmm im also interested in this topic, but what is made in america now? I mean hell I have a pen at work that was made in mexico. Do we actually make anything here? Or has it all gone to other countries so the damn corporation can make more money and just think its made in america. My remote for my cable box is made in china, my mouse in canada, and its a microsoft keyboard and mouse, do we actually have anyhting made here now?


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (1895)   ranked 395 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

i have no idea and i never really really thought about it till this conversation just because some things that are considered american arent made here lol.. its all bizarre


myLot reputation of 59/100. darkjedi (1344)   ranked 4,972 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

Yeah it is bizarre lol. And it sucks, we should make more stuff in this country and not do it over seas just because its cheaper. We need more people who care about this country running it and in charge of corporations.


myLot reputation of 82/100. coolseeds (2204)   ranked 1,899 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

Toyota makes cars in West Virginia. So does that mean that they are no longer Japanese products?

Does "Black & Decker" and "General Electric" count as an American product?

What about "Snap-On" or "Craftsman" tools?


myLot reputation of 59/100. darkjedi (1344)   ranked 4,972 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

Hmmm are they actually made in america? Then hell no they arnt. We need to bring these jobs back to america, including call center jobs. Have people on the phone trying to help us with our computers and other stuff who we can actually understand.


myLot reputation of 82/100. coolseeds (2204)   ranked 1,899 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

LOL And they don't understand us. They might be able to speak it but a lot don't understand it.


I forgot "John Deere". Certainly they would make tractors in the USA.


myLot reputation of 82/100. coolseeds (2204)   ranked 1,899 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

What about "Troy Bilt"? They make the pieces in the USA and send them to Mexico to be assembled.


myLot reputation of 59/100. darkjedi (1344)   ranked 4,972 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

Just looked on google john deere is made in america. And well troy bilt so they make the pieces in america and then send them to america to be built, why cant we build them here in america? Why should we not have the jobs here in america building them? Oh wait because here in america you would have to pay the employees at least minimum wage, if not a lot more, probably would be a lot more, and in mexico you can pay them 20 cents an hour or so.


myLot reputation of 83/100. craftcatcher (1549)   ranked 441 out of 25,718 in life  4 weeks ago

I can vouch for John Deere products being made in America. I live within 4 miles of 3 John Deere plants and John Deere Engineering Branch is right at the end of my street. I worked as a security guard for a while at John Deere Plow and Planter in the late 70's. It's about half the size now than is was back then but they still manufacture there.


myLot reputation of 59/100. darkjedi (1344)   ranked 4,972 out of 25,718 in life  2 weeks ago
