Damn, I got ninja'd, but I'm gonna add my three cents.
Poland, again.
2) The entertainer who is super-famous, but pretty much unknown in all other countries
Niekryty Krytyk - the Un-Covered Critic. As in, he wasn't covered in the first place (hence the hyphen). He once described himself as "Nostalgia Critic meets Ray William Johnson'. He "reviews" either whatever inane viral videos that are currently popular in the Polish Internet or some old stuff from communist times. His humour isn't terribly high-brow, but he has some good stuff (like his review of an old communist video about the origin of babies).
3) The company everybody hates
Gonna have to add PKP (Polskie Koleje Państwowe), our national railway company. They're notorious for being always late, although I never really experienced it myself. However, I did have my fair share of riding shitty trains that probably remembered Stalin;s regime.
The toilet paper killed the friendship!
The Cola tried to kill me! (The shopping almost ended in tragedy!)
Probably the best newspaper in Poland.
6) That kids' show with a grown man in a fursuit that everybody watched as kids.
Well, when I was in elementary school everyone was watching Pokemon and then Beyblade. I guess the Teletubbies could qualify? (I know I watched it)
Poland, again.
Wouldn't krówki qualify? They're not a brand per se but everyone knows them (it's a type of "fudge, semi-soft milk toffee candies", according to the wiki), although I'm not a big fan of them.ninja666 said:1) The candy/cookie/etc. that's so famous it's doesn't even feel like product placement to mention it on TV
Can't really think of such a thing. Every sweet thing that's relatively famous here is made by a foreign company.

4) The trashiest newspaper that's huge saleswise.
There's literally no newspaper here that's not trashy, but I think "Fakt" takes the cake. It's a newspaper that posts articles and stories that are literally made up. They're so hilariously bad, I often wonder if "Fakt" is a legit newspaper or a satirical one. If anyone's interested, I can send them some headlines with appropriate translations provided. They're comedy gold.
