America is, of course, utterly spoiled for choice. Australia has a fair amount, too, as long as we're not talking ice cream, brands of peanut butter or pretzels. However, it amazes me how many normal household items seem to be standard issue: the red vacuum cleaner, the red bucket for mopping the floor, a blue-handled mop and the omni-present glass water pitchers. They're the same in many households, and I have a strong suspicion that there are no more than three major vacuum contenders in the country. (Standard issue blue pictured above.)
