Things your parents and grandparents used that likely still are out there but no longer are household names. A few examples include:
1. Geritol
2. Doans for backaches
3. Brut
4. Nair
5. Elton
Some products, like Old Spice have made amazing comebacks. What other brands that used to be household names have gone the way of the dinosaur but are still available in the supermarket? Could make for some interesting discussion.

Should "MJ, Michael Jordan" be added to the list, along with Matt Doherty?
MJ sure does make Millions from Nike MJ tennis shoes and Hanes underwear and undershirts.
