Coca-Cola, Starbucks, McDonald’s and Apple–all are American brands, right?
Actually, these and many other brands have become ubiquitous (see definition and hear pronunciation below) throughout the globe today.
Starbucks had about 18,000 international stores last year and plans to open at least 600 more this year–just in China!
Meanwhile, McDonald’s has adapted many of its menu offerings to customers around the globe.
One example is the McRice Burger in Singapore, which places the hamburger patty between two rice cakes rather than on a bun.
Now, that’s a truly international offering!
Cool word vocabulary question of the day: Can you think of anything else–a movie, book or game–that is ubiquitous?
