I like this example, about Coca Cola.
Generally I'd be looking for countries that have had a regime change where they were closed off to the rest of the world (e.g. former USSR) and suddenly opening up their borders and people being able to visit and countries turning into capitalist economies when they'd previously been something else... East Germany is a good example. Or you could look at how North and South Korea have totally gone in different directions since the Korean War, how North Korea is in poverty and South Korea's this booming business empire because it opened its borders up to the rest of the world without even thinking about it whereas North Korea closed itself off... or you could look at China which has allowed capitalism to enter its society even though it remains communist.

This reminds me of the movie Goodbye Lenin!
(with the fall of the Berlin wall and the East being suddenly open to all sorts of new brands instead of the state-sponsored ones)
