Well, with cuisines, you can usually differentiate by seasoning:
your Tex/Mex is spicier and tends to have chili & cumin, while your
Indian tends to lean more towards the garam masala.

With your limosines, you have stretch and non-stretch, and some are
these crazy contraptions made out of Hummers or buses rather than
luxury sedans.

And if I could spell "kerosine" instead of "karosine", I guess they
would differentiate from other hydrocarbons by the length of the
carbon chain. ;-)
