Maybe he meant the most expensive rather than the "most valuable"

Paik: American brands overall (i.e., not wine) account for something like the top 8 or 9 brands in value. Microsoft, Coca Cola, etc.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

The USA is not boycotting french goods despite that the French government chose to act as it did. Americans, as individuals, are simply exercising their right to choose what products to buy. Its a totally different thing.Originally posted by Spec
This is sooooo stupid. Boycotting some country because 59% were against the war. Not the whole country, 59%! And all that because of a difference of opinion...Si it's like when we were kids...Bang Bang your dead or I dont play no more! If you dont let me play with you ,you are not my friend no more...boohoo...
Just like kids...
Why cant the U.S. respect the decision of others without making such a fuss over it? And when the U.S. takes a decision that other countries dont like do they do silly things like a boycott? NO! They get over it and go on with their lives...
The U.S. is like a spoiled little bratt.

Nah, we always take it personally. This all started before troops were even in Iraq. It has more to do with countries offering serious dissent to US interests.Comment

Riiiiiiiiiiight! And why did they start doing that you think? Just the spur of the moment they said:" Hey! Let's boycott french products for no reason!"
It's because of the war and because the americans cant take no for an answer so they HAVE to get revenge whatever way works.
Like I said, spoiled little bratts.

If German products has been affected, possibly is because their products has the best quality in the world.

You are aware, that Camel contains TURKISH tobacco, yes?Originally posted by paiktis22
Camel taste good to me. But I found a Greek brand with similar taste, more ciggarrets and less euros. You can't beat that

They (used to) write "american & domectic" on the pack here 
Now they don't write anything (since there was some change which screwed up their taste a bit).Comment

We indeed are the 7nth largest tobacco pruducing country in the world. (which is noteworthy considering we are not a large country)
The Commission is going to great pains to change tobacco production in the EU into other production.Comment
