Related to the Index point: the Big Mac is the only food among the 17 iconic American products in one of the rankings I used for an article on the two burger chains, and the Index is a big reason why. The Whopper, a decade older, never made it. https://youpick.best/articles/mcdonalds-vs-burger-king-ranked

My GTA vs Red Dead comparison on YouPickBest covers the cities list and eleven more: youpick.best/articles/gta-vs-red-dead-redemption-ranked
Both of those keep meeting on all-time lists: Ocarina of Time has been the default pick since 1998, and on one list of 35 games it shares the field with GTA V and RDR2, Tetris and Minecraft.
