discuss Fantastic Brandable!!

[MapleDots]

I made a spelling mistake today and wrote fantastic as fantastik.

Can you believe a brandable is so ingrained that the name fantastik (the cleaner) is almost as accepted as the real spelling.

Kind of stupid on SC Johnson's behalf because its such a fantastik brandable.

So what is the earliest brandable you can think of?

I would think of the British (Lever Brothers) "Sunlight" as one of the earliest brandables around. In 1884 they produced and packaged the world's first branded laundry soap under the "Sunlight" name. The model town they built for their workers still exists as "Port Sunlight". As 1884 somewhat pre-dates the birth of the internet and domain names, this may not be the sort of response you were looking for!

Very good @canswift but I was thinking more to misspelled words as brandables. I should have been more clear in that.

I'm trying to find out some of the first use of 1 or 2 letter misspelled brandables.

Wasn't Kleer a name of a wax at least as far back as the 60s?

And of course there was Ayds candy, for dieters. I seem to remember that in the late 60s, and it was surely much older.

Trix cereal, and Froot Loops.

Yup Froot Loops is a classic

I think Trix is Tricks right?

There were some marvelous brandables before domains ever came to be.

Well, that's a dictionary word. Google was the brandable version of it.

Wow.... I did not get what @urlurl was trying to say, it looked funny to me.

HeHe.... so Google is a brandable!!
