50+ American Products With Completely Different Names in Other Countries

October 22, 2015 by Veronica Phillips

A product or brand by any other name would still be the same. If you’ve traveled to a foreign land, you might come across the “American shelf” at the local supermarket. There, you might find products that remind you of home but come in radically different names. Here are 50+ examples of American products that you might not recognize by their names.

Sour Patch Kids Are Naughty

Ask any child what their favorite snack is, and one out of a hundred will tell you, “Sour Patch Kids.” It’s no surprise that it’s not exactly a huge favorite among kids, but it’s still a snack that no child could say no to when offered. However, that’s only in America.

If you asked a French child whether they wanted Sour Patch Kids, they’d probably say quoi? You see, Sour Patch Kids go by a different name in the land of wine and cheese: Very Bad Kids. It’s not very clever when translated to English, but the name certainly translates a lot better than Sour Patch. Very Bad Kids also come in different shapes, too.
