Top Brands - The list is in!

Forbes has a ranking of the world's top brands. Apple is #1. Oddly enough, there are four auto makers with more revenue than Apple; Toyota, VW, Ford and Nissan. The BMW brand at #9 is the highest ranking automaker. That surprised me a little. I would have guessed Toyota which showed up in spot #14. I would have also guessed that BMW would have come after Honda (19) and Mercedes (16) as well. Remember - this is the world, not just the USA. Ikea (43), Nintendo (40) and L'Oreal (25) come in well ahead of 59th ranked Ford. Fox was 99th and Kleenex nosed in there at 100. Hermes International (well, laadeedaa) made the top 100 (#85) beating out Lexus (87) and even John Deere (89). Hermes slipped past me. I gotta get out more. So it's official, both Indiefair and Priceway Systems didn't make the make the top 100.
