Lucky Strike
According to my research, the most popular cigarette brand in the United States is Lucky Strike (commonly known as Luckies). People smoked the product in the 1930s and 1940s as a result of the product’s aggressive marketing push. As a result, the brand shot to the top of the tobacco industry’s sales rankings. In 1976, British American Tobacco became the company’s first customer. The British firm purchased the American Tobacco Company and its subsidiaries Lucky Strike and Pall Mall in 1994. Despite countless changes, it is still seen as a symbol of America. This is due in part to its popularity in popular culture. This corporation was mentioned multiple times in Mad Men.
Budweiser
Some argue that when it comes to beer, you can’t get more American than this. Despite the fact that it was started in Missouri and that the container still says “America,” this company is no longer American. InBev, a Belgian brewer, paid $52 billion to buy the company in 2008. While it once had a strong American identity, it is now and in the future a very different place. Whatever the case may be, we are relieved that the parent business did not alter the recipe. It hasn’t lost any of its original flavors!
