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.

What the hell is Elton?
John?
Here's a clue: Thread title is about "Brands" of yore. Elton? Ring a bell?

LOL

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.
