In McEnroe's voice.."you cannot be fffin serious"?? I've sworn I ate a couple of them around Xmas time but i might have seen double at the time and could not read the packaging properly

Shell and Statoil changed to Topaz because they are share holders in the Corrib natural gas field, and the protests and boycotts were hurting their sales.

Topaz is an independent licensee of Shell, that is, they buy all their petrol from them.

I was reading today that Kodak have filed for bankruptcy. I was very surprised as it's a giant of a company that even managed to coin a phrase, "a Kodak moment"

It got me thinking about what other brands are no longer with us;

The Our Price chain of record stores.
AIWA. Once a very popular Hi-Fi and Walkman clone maker.
and Radion Washing Powder!

Any others?

This one (thankfully)



It apparently shrank and then disappeared completely.

Anyone remember Yellow Pack, Quinnsworth's own brand? The nightmare for every kid:

Me: Any coke in the fride Mam?
Ma: Yeah
Me: *opens fridge, sees Yellow Pack coke*
Me: It's ok I'm not thirsty anymore

Maurice Pratt was the guy that used to advertise it,always remember those ads before and during "where in the world and glenroe" happy days they were.

PseudoFamous

Tango. I think I saw it in a bargain shop in Swords a whole back, but that was about it. Used to always get a can of it on the way home from school, none of it around here these days..

Siemens mobile phones

I was a loyal customer and owned quite a few

Oh most everyone else had their Nokia 3310 but I was very happy with my Siemens

Google tells me this division went bust in 2006. They are missed

Siemens sold their mobile phone business to BenQ of Taiwan, who let BenQ Mobile go to the wall as BenQ wouldn't fund BenQ Mobile anymore.

I think Siemens were the first mobile phone maker to have a colour screen on one of their phones.

Is that an American brand?

Were those stores ever in Ireland?



Homestead, Homestead, brings value home......
I liked that ad. Haven't seen their products in a long time.
They were a bit like St Bernard, produced a bit of everything, from soup to salt

yup they are american and were over here. Talking late 80s / early 90s. Shop down the road from me, which is now a takeaway, was a 7/11. Think it pulled out in 1991 or something.

No sign of them in Ireland but they're still available in other countries and on the internet.

Aye that was kickass. I don't think anyone I know paid for more than 10% of their crisps once the winnings were taken into account.

I think they are Asian. Maybe Japanese or Taiwanese. I have seen them all over Hong Kong, Japan and Thailand.
