When a consumer thinks of a megabrand, she may think of Coke, Budweiser or Cheerios.  These are all category leaders and are certainly “mega” in terms of their recognition around the world and sales figures. But looking beyond sheer size, these products are actually quite limited in their scope: soft drinks, beer and cereal, respectively.
