QQ: What is the fastest “0 to global” brand?

soxiam:

Basically, what brand (company, product, person, any entity that holds a brand identity) do you think gained awareness the fastest. Reblog your answer, if you’re so inclined. TBC Monday (taking a snowboard trip to Stowe this weekend).

I’d have to guess some kind of cigarette. Marlboro maybe?

 I’m going to go with either a car company or a gun company (whoever is behind ak-47 for example).

 I’d guess the fastest are brand extensions, like virgin america, where an entirely new company has instant reputation based on association, but that’s probably cheating as far as this question goes.
