We all love chocolate. Whether it be as a naughty little treat or just to enjoy casually.
Take the chocolate Dove for example. The name “Dove” is what the chocolate is known
as worldwide, however, if you live in any of these countries: India, Isle of Man, Indonesia,
Ireland or the United Kingdom, then you might know the tasty little chocolate treat as Galaxy.
The name Dove originates from Dove Candies & Ice Cream which was a Chicago sweets shop
owned by Leo Stefanos. He created the famous Dove bar which is now distributed across the
world, thanks to the Mars Company who bought Dove Bar International Inc. back in 1986.
Just out of interest, I’d like to know if Dove or Galaxy is your favourite chocolate?

Burger King is a well-known fast food chain known for their flame grilled burgers with
their most famous burger being the Whopper. The fast-food chain is known in every country
by the name: “Burger King” except for one country. That country being Australia.
When Burger King moved to expand its operations into Australia, they found out that their
business name was already trademarked by a takeaway food shop in Adelaide. With their
unsuccessful attempts to buy the local trademark, Burger King was therefore renamed Hungry Jack’s.
Although the rights to the name Burger King were acquired in the 1980s, it was ultimately
decided to keep the name Hungry Jack’s in Australia to avoid brand dilution and the
fact that the name Hungry Jack’s has been a well-established brand name in Australia
for many decades.
Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day so with cereal in mind, Coco
Pops or Choco Krispies or Cocoa Krispies (depending on where you live) is a favourite choice.
This cereal is created by American multinational food manufacturing giants, Kellogg’s and
is known worldwide by different names. In countries, such as: Italy, New Zealand, South
Africa, South Korea and the United Kingdom the cereal is known as Coco Pops. However,
in countries such as: Portugal, Spain, Germany, Austria and Switzerland the cereal is known
as: Choco Krispies. And, in the United States, the cereal is known as: Cocoa Krispies. Depending
on what part of the world you are in, the cereal has different mascots to match. Coco
the Monkey is the mascot for Coco Pops and Choco Krispies whereas the trio, Snap, Crackle
and Pop are the mascots for Cocoa Krispies.
Lay’s or Frito-Lay’s, owned by PepsiCo, is the world’s best-selling potato crisps
and is the company’s primary brand. Although it is named differently in other countries,
the brand is generally recognisable for their underlying logo. In the UK and Ireland, Lay’s
is better known by the name Walker’s. When PepsiCo acquired Walker’s and re-branded
it with the Lay’s logo, they decided to keep the name Walker’s to ensure customer
brand loyalty in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Although the snack food is exactly the same,
there are small differences such as the salt and vinegar packet being green in the UK but
blue in the US. I’m intrigued to know but what colour do you think best represents salt
and vinegar, blue or green? Vote by clicking the “i” in the top right corner of this

Axe or Lynx (depending on where you live) is a brand of male grooming products owned
by the Anglo-Dutch company, Unilever. The body spray was first launched in 1983 in France
under the name “Axe” and a couple of years later, it was released in the UK under the
name “Lynx.” Unilever introduced many products in the range, but were forced to
use the name Lynx in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and China due to trademark
issues with the Axe name. According to Unilever, the main objective of Axe is to help men smell
and feel their best and is designed to keep guys a step ahead in the dating game. But
it’s not just the products that Axe is known for. The Axe brand is built on epic and disruptive
advertising according to Unilever themselves. In fact, they have won more than 10 awards
at the prestigious Cannes Lions Event for their famous attention grabbing ads. Just
watch the “Find Your Magic” advert and you’ll soon see why…
