Cultural Icons -- Post your country's cultural icons

[Maiku]

For anyone who has visited or lives in Canada, they know one Canada's greatest cultural icons in Tim Horton's Donuts.

I would like to start a thread that displays well-known, as well as little known cultural icons.

Icons can be
1. Food
2. Sports
3. People
4. Mouments
5. Etc.

Please post your cultural icons.

Here is my contribution to start.
