Brand name differences between countries

What I have always called "Topic" in England is referred to here as "Nuts" - wouldn´t you just love to bite into that?

Jif (UK) became Cif globally because I thought it meant something similar and much cruder, to 'slapper' in one of the countries to be distributed...

We have Mars in Ireland (the bar I mean) but we also have a Milky Way, two totally different bars.

Bulmers Cider is Magners over here ('tis mouldy anyway, but that's another story)
Not surprised the Germans call "Vick's" "Wick" though...

In France and Switzerland it's called Vif.

Complete madness!

@eurobabs: Mars and Milky Way are 2 different types of chocolate bars in England too.

HB in Ireland
Walls in the UK
GB Glace in Finland and Sweden
Miko in France etc...

Twix is Twix here I think, but it's called Raider in Spain.

I know Axe is Lynx in the UK and Lagnese is Walls.

It is quite funny about Vick being Wick. Took me a while to work out why. Derr!!

It is Twix now, but it used to be Raider.
They changed at the same time the UK swapped Marathon for Snickers.

Actually, I think it's a pretty good name for a cleaning product because in French "vif" means "brisk".

I see LRC and are finaly using the Durex brand in Germany too and no longer calling them "london".

A friend of mine who works for P&G said that Ariel (European name for Tide ) did not go over very well in the Middle East, so they had to rename it there.
