Got four pretty much through guessing. I am glad I at least got Movistar right
 
I scored 9.

Good fun. Thanks.

One minor pedantic correction: San Carlo snacks are Italian, not Spanish. And they're f**king delicious. We ate lots of the porchetta and herbs flavour when we were in Italy in May. Just the thing to go with a Campari spritz for aperitivo time.

Paprika is also amazing. So is tomato. And lime and pepper. Come to think of it, I've never had a bad flavour, unlike the mostly over-seasoned chips we get here. (We overpay for all of the above when I spend the equivalent of a mortgage payment at Nardini once a month or so. That place is my Costco, can't leave without dropping big dollars every time. 'Oh, I'll just pop in to grab some guanciale..." Sure I will.)
 
Fortunately, no one wants to sponsor me to ride MotoGP, so I don't have to know them.
 
It's obvious that MotoGP sponsorship is so *NOT* targeted to North American audiences.

I watched the races before spending any time in Europe and I had never heard of any of the sponsors outside of the big tobacco companies like Camel and Marlboro. When I traveled abroad, I suddenly saw all of these logos everywhere that I had only seen slapped on the bodywork and leathers of the bikes and riders.

5 on the second round. Was scratching my head as to why "ECSTAR" sounded familiar. It might be that I own a Suzuki, that has ECSTAR oil in it, that I put there myself
 
You should add "Leopard". I know they say they are an energy drink, but... *cough* front *cough*

I got about 70% of them. I know the names, but don't know what they all do.

These have been fun, thanks for putting them together.

Was feeling pretty cocky up to question 11, with only the Suzuki Indonesia slogan tripping me up, but 11-13 were all duds, so:

:ROFLMAO:

(Worst bit is 12 and 13 are Italian companies...)
 
:ROFLMAO: - Part 1
😧 - Part 2 (*2 of the 3 mfg slogans, so no point)

What no A-Style logo posts. LOL
