Below you will find several signs and logos all written in Arabic. I'm guessing, however, since we're all products of a consumer society, the logos and colors are so ingrained in our mind that the fact that it's written in Arabic really doesn't matter. The answers are written at the bottom for you to see how you've done. Once you've taken the quiz, be sure to mark your score in the comments section!
Hint: remember Arabic is written right to left!
Note: Arabic readers are ineligible to win prizes (sorry to half my family!)

Finished?
Good.
Here are the answers:
1) Coca-Cola
2) KFC (Not bad for an old many from Kentucky)
3) McDonald's (You'd recognize that golden arch anywhere!)
4) Baskin Robbins (good thing the "31" wasn't written in Arabic numerals)
5) Pepsi
6) Pizza Hut
7) Starbucks (a tricky one, I know)
8) Schweppes
9) Hardees (Is there Hardees in Canada? I don't think so!)
10) Glade (on an air freshener can)
11) T.G.I. Fridays (a sneaky one indeed!)

I got 8 out of 11! The Starbucks, Glade, and TGI Friday's are the ones I missed. Starbucks and Friday's didn't have any helpful hints though. :) I'll find some in Hungarian next year and see how well you do!
So I guessed gingerale for the schwepps. Isn't that primarily what they make? anyway, let's say half credit for that one. then i got 7.5/11. not bad. ;)
hahaha I got the first 6 and none of the last. One quiz perhaps I don't mind failing so much at. ;) When do you head home my fine Egyptian friend?
So, today has been awesome (and there's still half left to go!). We have warm beautiful weather, a nice refreshing breeze, and I've been planting trees and helping my brother move cows on and off for the past almost 4 hours. yahooii!
9 out of 11 But depending on where you grew up in the US it is either Hardees or Carl's Jr. Same place different names. What is up with Starbucks and Fridays? They were tough!
I totally took a picture of the Friday's sign when we were driving to the airport in Moscow. Good to see I am not the only one who takes pics of signs! haha!
8/11. The starbucks, TGI's and... hardies i didn't get. We ate at that TGI's our very first night there! (a very egyptian meal to welcome us.. not lol). Today has been an alright day. The weather is finally sunny and beautiful, and I think I might just head outside for some reading/tanning! hehe. hope to hear from you soon...!

oh wait no! ... only 7. I didn't get the lysol.
8 out of 11... seems like a common score. Starbucks and TGI Friday's was pushing it... not much of a clue in those. I was thinking that Glade kinda looked like a container of Dentyne Ice gum. Pretty interesting to see how small the world has become!
