[challenge entry] *sighs* the past is well missed..


Does this count: Older logos for oldish logos? I hope so.

I also long for the return of the 6-day working week, vikings, stocks and the feudal system.. With a healthy dose of beheadings and leech therapy thrown in for squits and giggles.

From the New Logos For Old challenge. See all 549 entries (closed)

# That and "Opal Fruits"

# Yeah, this!
I used to love Opal Fruits, but I can't remember what they're called now, so I haven't bought any for years... :-(

# ^This.
I call them Opal Fruits.
And I'm FIFTEEN.
I'M YOUNG AND I CALL THEM OPAL FRUITS.

# it's not just the names of the things I miss
the bars were bigger, and the wrappers were much much easier to open because they were paper based so would tear easily, now everything's gone plastic sometimes they're a real bitch to open

# I once forgot they were previously called Opal Fruits
my head hung in shame for days. Brainwashed by the system... Again!

# And Jif
I can't go into a shop and ask the assistant if she has syph.

# Pffft
Stupidest rebranding ever. I pointedly call it Kif now.
(I helped save b3ta! Peregr1n @peregr1n, Fri 29 Feb 2008, 0:43, archived)
# Apparently...
Well I heard somewhere that Jif was rebranded because the Spanish pronounce J's differently?

Can anyone confirm this?

# ¡hif! ¡hif! ¡hif! ¡hif!
:D

I think it's harmonisation of international branding or some nonsense like that

# I wonder why they changed it
It's not like it means something naughty in another language. Maybe they couldn't copyright a generic word... but then Mars is OK. I dunno. I'm just rambling now.

# I guess they didn't want a fattening, non-healthy product associated with something right at the opposite end of that scale

# Ah
There's a different Marathon bar in the US, and Mars standardised the names internationally.

Boring but true.

# yes yes but...
They have a new one, a Snickers Marathon bar... it's more of an 'energy bar' -- not gross like a power bar, but not a hunk of granola either. I like them, second to Cliff bars.

# Oh those are sherbet fountains.
They do those too.
Dip dabs are the ones with two sections of a paper packet with a lolly thingy inside one side, and sherbet in the other.

There was Taz and Freddo, and I always loved a caramel of each.

# And Sherbert Fountains!
I had one of those recently. My Word! I can't spoon them as quick as I used to ... *Overwhelmed by sugar and bicarbonate mixture*
Oh to be 6 again!

# I once bought many many packets of sherbet
two cans of coke and went to the playground to use the roundabout.
When I got little results from the first can, I decided to just hold as much sherbet in my mouth as possible for as long as I could.
It came out of my nose.
Then I took the last can and the last few packs and went home to use my trampoline.

I remember throwing up.

# Is it just me,
or did Skittles sweets used to be called something else?
Can't remember what though, which makes me think it's just be being a retard or something.
