Given the meaning of this list, then you must mean that American companies have been able to insert themselves everywhere awesomely. As a true infection, yeah.
Firstly before quotes and replies
Good Job Apple! Thumbs up and applause from me keep it up
( insert iOS emotes that I don't get why Mac rumors doesn't support/allow to appear in posts yet/still )
I wholeheartedly agree if we could give multiple likes on here you sir or madam would get like spammed from me lol
If we are being honest Samsung excels at copying anything and everything in mobile except success levels lol
You know it will. I've already seen a few comments here and there ( not just on macrumors ) maybe if/when Apple gets to a point they can finish burying all serious/major competition in salt this will change but not counting on the
Trolls ever stopping

Innovative tech companies going up while companies that unethically create unhealthy products are going down, I like it! i3

I hope this news about Apple doesn't upset the trolls.

Brand strength only. In other words, a Sh*^burger from McDonald's will make a whole lot more money than the identical Sh*^burger from Joe's Burger Shak.
Ha. I've hardly ever left the US before, but now I feel like traveling a bit just to try some KFC in exotic (to me) lands.
KFC is a "destination" restaurant in China, and Vincent didn't go to Burger King.
I actually follow a few fast food brands international pages on Twitter just to see the crazy stuff they serve up. Some of it terrifying (and I'm an adventurous eater) and some of it looks downright delicious.
Ha! Flavoured fizzy sugar water has been booted down to third by the combined might of an evil company that turns you into a product that sniffs information about you and sells it, and a company that has put magical devices into the hands of tens of millions.
Not really. Being a top company in brand value sort of implies that these are companies that are well loved by a large number of people. A brand isn't worth much if it's hated by a lot of people. Note that Comcast isn't anywhere on the top 100. If you look at most of the other companies, there are large groups of people who love them or are loyal to them.
Thus, we tend to conclude that this is a list of companies with large fanbases - a positive thing. Contributing to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer is not what most would consider positive. But, they do still have people who love them. Hey, I work in a hospital and I see a large number of healthcare workers including doctors, who knock back Diet Coke after Diet Coke to get through their morning.
I would also venture a guess that Silicon Valley programmers contribute a lot to the bottom line of McDonalds and Coca-Cola as well.

That's why people should RTFA. The F in RTFA stands for freaking, not the other F-word.
An inability to comprehend an article should not be an excuse. Commenting before reading should be even less of one. I guess I expect more from my fellow MR members.I clarified what I wrote after you replied, but I was actually saying it was a legit interpretation of the list. It's kind of like when people got all up in arms when Time considered using Osama bin Laden as Person of the Year. Vladimir Putin actually got Person of the Year (2007). The title isn't an honor, but that doesn't matter to people.That's why people should RTFA. The F in RTFA stands for freaking, not the other F-word.
By nearly all, are you referring to only three (Toyota, McDonalds, and VW)? Because 3/10 is not "nearly" anything...
Not that I completely disagree with you but a list containing JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley sort of knocks your love theory a few steps back. What Interbrand actually uses is: There are three key components in all of our valuations: an analysis of the financial performance of the branded products or services, of the role the brand plays in purchase decisions, and of the brand's competitive strength. Competitive strength is where the likability come in. Still it's only one component, not the be all, end all.
They both have very generic products that tons of other companies also sell similar versions of, but they still make huge profits just because they're recognized brands, so I guess that makes their brands valuable. Especially because McDonald's is absolute ****, yet people eat there.
Adapt to what? If anything, their influence is spreading to third-world countries as the world changes (that is, "Western" culture spreading).
I didn't say "exclusively". So, you say "No.", which presumably means you disagree. Then you agree with me.
It seems like you don't know what to say.
A health conscious society. People do not look at McDonald's or Coke the same way now as they did ten years ago. Not even close.
It's almost like lord of the rings up there at the top, good magic vs evil ;-).
