Food is fuel, and we all know that. In fact, from being sustaining, food and food habits have moved onto being more of a lifestyle image than just sustenance. Food is no longer just about nutrition alone - it's about the taste, the experience, and the whole ambiance of it all. The world is far more epicurean than it was before, and now with the multitude of restaurants and food stores popping all over the place, world food is no longer a thing to be had only when you travel. The world has become smaller and all kinds of food more attainable. No surprises then that many a food company that started at the grassroots level have today become world leaders in their own right.
Their names, logos, and mascots are world renowned. We know these brands sometimes by the name and sometimes more by the pictorial logo that represents their brand. Other times, we know more about them by a certain product that we love to dig into, and reach out for whenever we're in need of some comfort food or drink. These brands may have been started in the domestic market or abroad, but they are no longer national brands because the international boundaries are way too blurry in today's ever-shrinking world. That said; only true foodies would be able to crack this food logo quiz!
