In the words of Avril Lavigne, \u201cWhy\u2019d you have to go and make things so complicated?\u201d That\u2019s also apparently what many consumers have to say about X, the social media brand formerly known as Twitter, according to Siegel+Gale\u2019s World\u2019s Simplest Brands survey.<\/p>\n

The survey, which is the 10th edition conducted by the Omnicom-owned brand experience firm, asked more than 15,000 consumers across nine countries to rank more than 800 brands based on how simple or complicated they are. X fell 39 spots to the bottom of the US rankings, meaning US consumers see it as more complex than every other brand they were asked about.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s bad news for X, according to the report, which says simplicity is \u201cthe reason why brands thrive.\u201d And when it comes to simplicity, several grocery stores, fast-food chains, and tech companies ranked highly in the US and around the world.<\/p>\n

(Grocery) shop \u2019til you drop:<\/strong> The simplest brand in the US, according to the survey, is Whole Foods. Trader Joe\u2019s made the domestic list, too, at No. 7. Apart from grocery stores, mail and package delivery services got high marks in terms of simplicity (which may come as a shock to anyone who\u2019s ever tried to track a lost package).<\/p>\n
