Well of course. But at the same time, I also find it neat when I see something familiar when I'm far away from where that familiarity lies. Like the day I was walking down the street in Amsterdam, wearing a Flames Tshirt and a guy was walking toward me wearing a Flames cap. Naturally we high fived as we passed each other.
As far as Timmy Ho's being successful outside of Canada goes, I'd be really proud if a company that so many Canadians love became popular outside of Canada. We don't really have anything like that. America has cars and McDonalds and things like that. Lots of countries have things that you immediately associate the brand name with the nationality. I can't really think of anything that immediately gets associated with Canada. RIM maybe?
