Why the name change from Jif

[jackthehat]

Most european languages don't pronounce the 'J'............they would call it 'Yif'...........

Why change Charmin to Cushelle? Marathons to Mars

It happens quite a bit.

I think it's just for rebranding?!

[4getmenot]

marathons were changed to snickers to match the americans

[Greedyfly]

That was it... Sorry wrong one. I would like to point out that I am too young to remember Marathons =)

[4getmenot]

and opal fruits hey?

[ELVIS68]

And Minstrels

[cully]

?????

The Mars bar has been "the Mars bar" in this country since 1932! The Marathon bar only came into being in 1973.

[4getmenot]

thats because they are different sweets cully marathon is now snickers and got the name change in 1990.

[Greedyfly]

I remember Opal Fruits 4get - not that young =)

[daffy654]

Minstrels are still Minstrels Elvis.

[sandyRoe]

Do they still make Spangles?

[jackthehat]

Minstrels used to be Treets................

[rowanwitch]

I believe the charmin change came about when it was realised Charmin and its varieants was a fairly common womens name within some cultural groups...You wouldn't buy a bog roll called Tracey or Susan now would you

[RATTER15]

ulay is now olay, and some brands are spelled the same but now pronounced differently, like nestles, Porche, adidas im sure there are others.

[Bbbananas]

Whenever I hear the word Jif, it always reminds me of the first porn film I ever saw at a party. I'd rather not say why - too early in the day.
Needless to say, I was shocked.

[daffy654]

Bounty kitchen roll is now called Plenty.

[rowanwitch]

I think juan sheet sounds like one sh*t... doesn't inspire me to wipe up my kitchen spills with the product....

[Greedyfly]

LMAO

[Greedyfly]

The greasy man in the advert makes me feel a little ill just seeing him also.

[cully]

I still call Nestles, Nestles not Nesslay.

In fact, they were customers of ours and I upset them in a meeting once calling them Nestles. Pretentious foreign b******s coming here telling us how to pronounce chocolate bars we've eaten all our lives!!
And another thing, how can you change the name of a venerable insurance company to MoreThan?! They got a good slagging off from me before I agreed to renew my insurance. Pretended an institution with a silly name like that could not possibly be the Royal & Sun Alliance!
