Progress I guess. Glad you liked the tribute to Sam, the female koala and that you liked the Judge joke. Thanks for dropping by. Take care my friend and have a great end of the week and week-end.

I also do know about discontinuance after finding something you like and also the quantity. Like Chicken of the Sea tuna. It used to be 6 oz. now it's 5 oz with more water. Love the picture of the old Jello packaging.caspersmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181735701966287433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-75735224813141480632010-01-20T13:24:52.278-05:002010-01-20T13:24:52.278-05:00Yes, this happens to me and honestly - I don't...Yes, this happens to me and honestly - I don't like all of the different brands and choices. I often wish they would just leave things well enough alone. When it comes to products, I know what I like and I want it to remain the same. Actually, I'm kind of like that when it comes to LOTS of things, ha ;-)<br /><br />Hope you're having a great week, Margaret.<br /><br />~Linda :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241010459789159870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-38360989854055263082010-01-20T13:11:18.585-05:002010-01-20T13:11:18.585-05:00Another thing that annoys me is when you find a ce...Another thing that annoys me is when you find a certain product that you really like they discontinue it the next day - doh!Doug Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808705631686955664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-40170202902838110212010-01-20T13:01:49.734-05:002010-01-20T13:01:49.734-05:00Another thing that bothers me is when they change ...Another thing that bothers me is when they change the quantity of the product.

On the other hand the toddlers of yesterday have grown up and they have started earning money.Theie tastes are different from ours. Hence the firms have to rebrand their products. This could be one reason.<br /><br />It also shows that we have to adapt to changing trends and flow with the current.<br /><br />Have a nice day Margaret:)<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-2051227620186412672010-01-20T07:31:53.736-05:002010-01-20T07:31:53.736-05:00Gday Margaret, This has happened to me many a tim...Gday Margaret, This has happened to me many a time but not only do they change labels the supermarkets here change items to different ailes to make you look for them i get so hopping mad i go and ask an assistant to show me were what im looking for is..Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993328454036416214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-57086222704340696302010-01-20T06:49:59.263-05:002010-01-20T06:49:59.263-05:00Branding is one thing companies work hard on befor...Branding is one thing companies work hard on before they introduce a new product.

For instance, I went to buy my mother's creamer - she has to have the one with "lite" on the label. Well the original and the "lite" looked exactly alike! And I bought the original by mistake... That's not helpful guys...<br /><br />I love the old Jell-O photo! How amazing, since 1902! 10 cents then and still under a dollar a hundred years later! I went looking for some Jell-O after Christmas and had trouble finding it because of the label change...
