Best currywurst you can buy. They also have a parts number, so you can order them at your local VW dealership

The best CRT monitor I ever had was a Mitsubishi (22" Diamondtron). It was even better than than my Sony Trinitrons.

It's a whole Sinosphere phenomenon, not just Japan. Take a look at Samsung or Tencent, for example.

Kawasaki also makes, or used to make, jet skis, which I guess makes sense as they are like motorcycles for the water.

Mitsubishi makes everything. They've got like 40 companies under their umbrella and one of them is a bank.
Samsung used to make cars. By "used to" I mean last year you could still buy an SM6 new.
