US-owned or European-owned. You guess!

I've been reading a couple of politics books on the development of the European Union. I find them really interesting. Something interesting I read just now was about some pretty well known companies, and which nation they are owned by. I was quite surprised at times. So, here is a list of companies. Try to guess how many of them are US-owned, and how many are European-owned. I'll post the answer in a few days.

1. Dunkin' Donuts
2. Amoco
3. Snapple
4. Lucky Strike
5. Holiday Inn
6. Miller Lite
7. Bazooka Gum
8. A&W Root Beer
9. Verizon
10. Lean Cuisine
11. Ben & Jerry's
12. Dr. Pepper
