The world we are living in today is in many regards incredibly different from the world it once was, but that does not mean there are not many connections to the past. Take, for example, branding. Since the beginning of time, bartering and selling have played fundamental parts in society, with many exchanging their goods for others. But, unless a good is standardized, what sets apart one good from the other. Take, for example, a vase. Two people are selling a vase that, to the untrained eye, look completely identical. One of these vases is made by hand from the finest materials, the other is made of mud and is extremely fragile and impractical. The higher quality good would often be branded with a symbol to set the two apart so barterers knew it was of better quality.
The same system applies today, as corporations around the world rely on branding and mascots to cultivate an image and set their offerings apart from the rest. This is particularly the case in the food industry where many products may look identical (i.e. A Big Mac and a Big King), and they need to set their product apart. In this quiz, players will be tasked to match the logo or mascot to the brand. We bet no-one but the best chefs, foodies or marketers will get 100%. Care to prove us wrong?

This chain of burgers is very different from many of the others. Whereas many hamburger joints only griddle their burgers, this chain promises to flame broil them leading to the top quality flavor expected in their burgers. Another major difference that sets this chain apart from some of its competition is that special orders do not upset them, and they love to let their customers have their burger that way. Whether that involves holding the pickles, holding the lettuce, adding tomatoes, they are pretty game. Some of the items on the menu include the Whopper and the Chicken Fries.

This chain of fast food restaurants was founded by a man named Dave Thomas. He was upset by the other burgers offered and felt that the meat to bun ratio was way off. He wondered to himself where the beef was, and he came up with the perfect solution. Many restaurants serve their hamburgers in a circular shape, but Thomas defied expectations by serving them in a square shape, meaning the meat would be over the edge of the bun. It also made it easier to apply slices of cheese. The Twitter account for this brand can be quite spicy. What is this brand?

This chain of restaurants is one of the most iconic in the world. When you see one of their traditional styles of restaurants, it is likely that you know it is them from the shape of the roof alone. These restaurants mostly serve favorites from Italy, with a bit of a U.S. touch, such as pizza, pasta, salad and more. Chicken wings are also offered at a number of locations under the name Wingstreet. Many of the pizzas on the menu are different from the typical ones with options such as stuffed crust and cheesy bites. What is the name of this chain?

This pizza chain has always promised freshness, unique options, and speedy delivery. Whereas many other pizza restaurants end up with cold and late delivery, this chain invested a great deal into their delivery system ensuring the pizza stays hot, arrives early, and is easy for the customer to track. They are one of the most popular pizza chains in the world but are a bit more traditional when compared to other chains such as Papa John's and Pizza Hut. This is not particularly a bad thing, as they do pizza (and other menu items) very well. What is the name of this brand?
What brand features this logo prominently?
This brand is a bit more difficult to describe compared to others in this quiz. The main reason is that it means different things to different people across the United States.

What brand is associated with this mascot?
This mascot is one of the simpler on this list, as well as one of the most memorable. His name is Jack, and he is a kind man who loves a certain fast food establishment. His design is of a large white ball on his head, a simple smile, a thumbtack for a nose, an ice cream cone for a hat and a fancy suit on top of the rest. He even once participated in a Reddit Ask Me Anything (or AMA) session completely in character, a rarity for mascots. The big question is: what brand does he help promote?
What about this one?
This anthropomorphized rat has been known to sing, dance and have fun at a large arcade. The place that he markets is known as the place where a kid can be a kid, and that makes sense given the large variety of arcade machines, prizes, food, and other fun stuff. To give away his name would be a pretty massive spoiler for the answer to this question, but let us just say that he has a C on his shirt for a reason. He was created by Nolan Bushnell, who also founded Atari back in the day (Wikipedia). What brand does the market?
This one?
This character is one of the oldest mascots on this list and has gone through a number of different designs over the year. He works closely with the brand Hostess, who is best known for their work on snack cakes such as Cupcakes, Ding Dongs and the specific brand that this mascot represents. He will, from time to time, push the aforementioned products, but his main goal, heck, his likeness, surround around a specific brand of snack cakes. He has a cowboy hat, boots, a lasso, and even his name is an homage to Billy the Kid. What product does he primarily promote?
What brand features this mascot?
This mascot has worldwide recognition, but some folks in North America may be (justifiably) less aware of him. This mascot is for a brand of Filipino fast food restaurants that are highly similar to McDonald's. He is an anthropomorphized bee and is their equivalent to Roland McDonald. He has even had a television show for children, making him one of the few mascots who has had this honor (Wikipedia). The brand that he markets is best known for their fried chicken and other fast food staples such as burgers, but they also offer more unique options such as Spaghetti. What brand does this bee promote?
What about this one?
This little fellow is named Toucan Sam, and he has a very special nose. He can smell treasure from miles away, and using his scent, can track it down. More often than not, this treasure is not gold, ancient secrets or anything of that ilk. In actuality, the treasure is often the delicious brand of food that this mascot has been known to promote. He works closely with the Kellogg company to sell this product and has changed designs a number of times over the years. The most consistent part is his large beak/nose. What brand does he help promote?
This one?
It ain't easy being cheesy! That is the catchphrase of this notable character. His full name is Chester Cheetah, and he absolutely loves a certain brand by Frito Lay. He has been the spokesman for this company for years, replacing the short-lived mouse mascot. He has changed in appearances a number of times over the years, looking more like a puppet in commercials, and being fully hand drawn on the bags of the product he promotes. He has been so loved, that he has not one, but two video games under his belt (Wikipedia). What brand does he help promote?
What brand features this fun mascot?
This fun mascot is fittingly named Mr. Peanut, although peanuts are not the only thing he has been known to help sell. A semi bespectacled man with a top hat and a cane, Mr. Peanut does primarily promote peanuts and nuts. However, from time to time, he will promote other products such as cheese balls and other tasty snacks. His character has changed in design over the years, with him appearing hand drawn or computer generated despite the portrayal. Still, he will always be there to promote the eating of peanuts, a rather ironic job. What brand does he help promote?
What about this one?
Oh Yeah! If you call out for this man, you might just find him crashing through your wall with a delicious pitcher of a certain tasty drink. This is made all the funnier by the fact that he is made of pure glass, meaning that instead of shattering, he outright destroys brick, concrete, and steel walls in front of him. While he is used a bit less today than he once was, he still appears on the packaging of the product that he helps to promote. Just, make sure your insurance is in order before he breaks your wall. What brand does he help promote?
This one?
They're Great! That is the notable slogan often uttered by this beloved tiger. His full name is Tony the Tiger, and like Toucan Sam, he has been known to work with the Kellogg company. While Toucan Sam had his brand of choice, Tony promotes one that is completely different. Tony is very athletic and has been known to help kids get into shape, learn a new sport and learn the values of a balanced breakfast, a rarity in today's world. He is one of the most iconic mascots out there, but the big question is: what product does he help promote?
What brand features this delightful trio of mascots?
This trio of mascots are shorter than many of the others on this list, but size matters not. This is because, in terms of impact, they are some of the most known mascots in the food world. Their names are Snap, Crackle, and Pop, and like Tony the Tiger and Toucan Sam, they have been known to work with the Kellogg company. Unlike those two, they do not just promote cereal. In fact, it is a treat made by the cereal that has eclipsed it in popularity, and this trio promotes both cereal and treat. What brand do they help promote?

What brand is known for this logo?
This logo represents a brand of restaurants found predominantly in the United States but has something of a worldwide presence. Similar to establishments such as Applebee's, this restaurant serves up a variety of hometown favorites. Unlike many other chain restaurants, however, the main claim to fame of this establishment is the wide variety of tex-mex options on the menu, meaning those who want a break from the typical burgers and fries have that choice. They do, of course, also serve burgers and fries, but the point ultimately still stands. For those who crave food with a kick, this might just be the place to go. What is its name?

This brand is one of the most important and old on this list. It is likely that most everyone has heard of them and their products, although their slate has changed over the years. For the longest time, this company was incredibly large, creating macaroni and cheese, cheeses, dried goods, pasta, chocolate, cookies, the list goes on. However, after a merger with another large brand, this brand got frankly too big to control and made the smart decision of splitting off some of their other brands into a new company called Mondelez (Wikipedia).
