L'Oreal is known for common and affordable skin moisturizing creams, which were sold in local pharmacy stores like CVS.
Kitkat is an American brand of chocolate bars, associated with American culture, not British culture. Nestle was an American company, not a Swiss company.
That is correct, in the United States L'Oeal is known a drug store brand known for moisturizers, hair dye, and shampoo. Kitkit is a popular brand of chocolate bar in the United States.
But you understand just because something is popular in the United States doesn't mean it's an American company? Kinder Choclate is also popular in the US but Kinder is an Italian company.
Would you provide evidence of your claim refuting the origins of those companies beyond just asserting incorrect information confidently?
Just because people's memories change about what companies belong where, doesn't mean Nestle KitKat and L'Oreal were not American companies, and are deeply associated with American culture.
That's like saying Jim Carry and Ryan Gosling aren't canadian because they're popular in the US.
Nestle, Kitkat, and L'Oreal are european brands popular in the United States. No one's memory has changed or been altered.
Nestle, Kitkat, and L’Oreal are American brands, and are deeply associated with American culture, not British culture, not French culture, and not Swiss culture.
It's like, just because the history books tell you that French sailors in wooden ships conquered the country of Mexico during the American Civil War, doesn't mean it actually happened.
