I think that those are all fine examples and certainly specific
enough. Funny out of everything I have been concidering I hadn't even
thought of the whole Coke thing. Just the idea of "Coke" in and of
itself is, I think, one of the greatest memes of our time.

I also thought of -- "McDonalds", "Disney", "LEVIS", "Abercrombe &
Fitch", "NIKE", and "DKNY".
Some specific musical pieces such as -- Beethovans 5th, 2001 Theme,
Greensleeves, It's a Small World, Stairway to Heaven and Take Five
come to mind.
Possibly some specific movies such as Star Wars, Rocky Horror, or TVs
Star Trek.
Plus -- Demoracy, Marxism, Socialism, Judaism, Islam (is that the
correct way to say that?), Catholisism, Christianity and The United
States of America.

I'm afraid though that some of these are only personal favorites?
