The Most Googled Products And Services For Sale In Every Country

Google Maps

In popular culture, certain countries are stereotypically associated with certain products — beer in Germany, carpets in Turkey, electronics in Japan.

But those things aren't what people are really searching for.

Cost-estimating website Fixr.com put together a map of the world with the most-Googled-for object in each country, using the autocomplete formula of "How much does * cost in [x country]."

While the results are far from scientific — since Google autocomplete results vary based on the searcher's history, the time of search, and the place of search — they do say at least a little bit about how countries are perceived.

Some of the fascinating — and troubling — results:

  • People want to know how much a flight in a MIG aircraft costs in Russia.

  • People want to know how much a prostitute costs in Brazil.

  • People want to know how much rhinoplasty costs in South Korea.

Here are the maps:
