I think I'm an incorrigible stuck-in-the-mud. I still call Starburst 'Opal Fruits', I still call a Snickers bar a 'Marathon bar', I still use Oil of Ulay, not Oil of Olay, and I still clean my sink with Jif, not 'Cif'.
Honestly, branding-business people, if you want me to call a product by the same name as everyone else in the world, don't market it to the English with a different name in the first place. Tsk.

I was so angry when they changed the name of Opal Fruits.
How dare they decide that an English word should no longer be used. Let's preserve our language.
I had to laugh - Jif is what I use on my husband's pb&j sandwich.
I do all those things, too! :)
Its outrageous, whatever next...
