Brands we dont see around any more

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?

Disco's crisps. Dunno if they're still around but I haven't exactly been looking for them lately. I pretty much lived on them for about a year in college.

British Knights runners. I have no idea if the company still exists or not but I haven't seen anyone wearing them in years. I haven't seen Pepe jeans in ages either.

Strangely enough, it was both. I didn't remember it was ice cream too, but when I looked on youtube I only found ice cream ads, and I do remember the song from this one.

The pizza (which I think was made by Bird's Eye: not sure how the licensing of the name worked out between them and HB) doesn't seem to be as well-remembered.

Kodak
They just filed for bankruptcy. They fell a long way from the biggest camera and film manufacturers in the world to bankrupt.

heard on the radio this morning that some department in kodak came up with the first digital camera in 1992, but it was shot down at a meeting because they thought people would always want to hold photos. what a missed opportunity.

Heard that to, it seems a no-brainer now, digital cameras are the business but Kodak at one stage used the most silver in the world due to film sales. You would think a business that size would have diversatised.

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

The KVI brand was Crazy Prices wasnt it?

Used to be in Quinnsworth too, but they owned Crazy Prices, so...

First thing I thought when I read this thread was KVI.
Used to eat a half-kilo a day of their dry roasted peanuts as a kid - now have an intolerance to MSG.
Connected somehow, I wonder? :rolleyes:
